Engineering ?

Post by Dozoor »

Just wondering Does a vehicle need to have a top speed of a set amount , for instance do you think you could still have a car engineered in Nsw that can only accompish 100kph flat out ?

The max speed I had to do for my engineers cert on my TJ was 100km/h through a lane change test. I did have to get a speedo calibration report too and from memory they tested 40/60/80/100.

Yep somtimes you can get things like tires , that have a reduced speed limit engineered on a vehicle , You have to run a speed warning sticker in a visual spot on the dash ,

I like your thinking, but I think that convincing an engineer to permit this could be tough - he would know full well you will then still drive it at 110.

This is a similar work around thing to tractor reg.

Might just be an NSW thing :D

forklifts are regiserable and the only do about 30 km/hr and they run full hydro rear steer

Seen the act cops have 4wd big red honda motorbikes running rego as well.

Just need to speak to the right people to find the loop hole.
