g'day lads,
Just got Transport Dept to sign off on 2" body lift today (July 2011) so for the people in Qld who want to know the process, here's how:
1 - You are allowed a 2" suspension lift without approval
2 - You are allowed a 2" body lift with approved from Transport and Main Roads (the old QT), but you need to complete an Application to Modify Vehicle form.
Transport and Main Roads Corporate Forms F1854 - Motor Vehicle Modification Application
http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/c...8b20842f/pdf_modification_motor_vehicles2.pdf
3 - This form requires some basic info about your car (rego, tyres, model and year etc) and the mod you want (2" BL)
4 - don't include suspension on the form. TMR won't apporove this without engineering cert (which is a different process but I asked the inspectors and they said yeah can still do them in QLD if you want) and its not necessary if you're under 2" sus lift anyways
5 - include some info about the lift kit. Whether you'll make them yourself or get a kit like from Zordo, include info on the materials (e.g. Zordos is a poly block and using new high tensile bolts and nylock nuts)
6 - TMR repsond with a letter saying OK to install
7 - Keep this letter and take it to the Inspection
8 - Inspection costs about $65 and took me about 20 minutes to the inspection + them writing up paperwork
9 - Once signed off, keep a copy of the signed and stamped Mod Form in the car so if the po po's ask and qu's you can show them its certified.
So what did the inspectors look at? They do take the time to do a basic check of the vechile at the same time as looking at the Mods. Here's what they looked at on mine:
1 - steering column adjustments and making sure steering was responsive
2 - front and rear breaks and break lines
3 - handbreak test and handbreak line was loose enough
3 - lights and indicators
4 - checking the new body blocks (all of 5 secs - "is that them?" "yup" "OK then")
5 - tyres inside wheel arches
6 - mud flaps (more info below)
7 - muffler (mines a str8 thru) which they did mention but nothing else said
8 - tyres (had a good chat about muddies and wear rates)
All up reasonably simple checks. They do call you down the pit to look at things if need be. Blokes with me were fine to talk to.
I do have to fix a few things on mine:
- handbreak line is a little tight (even though it tested fine)
- the rear number plate must have lights on it
- mud flaps must extend down to max 300mm above the ground
I have a form to sign once these are fixed and send back in but I already have the Mod form signed off. Good to go!
I'll put some pics up soon. Now just need some $$ to fix rear step bar and sliders to match new body height.
