I need to submit an application to qld transport to build an ICV.
As part of this application I need to submit a few photo's to express what I am going to build.
I need a photo of a front engined buggy with mudguards. It must look good with no obvious sharp edges or other red flags. Whithout racing logo's would be good too.
All the pics I have are open wheelers or truggys.
Someone here must have a pic.
Basically the photo I submit needs to look like what I am building or I will struggle later.
What am I building?
Tube chassis, Front mid engine, 80s diffs, fox coil overs with leverage at the rear, sheetmetal sides , sheetmetal roof, bonnet from 4x4 ok, mudguards. No doors.
Any help would be appreciated
like this with mudguards would do
thanks
Justin

can you not just draw the flares on the photo with a texta? i mean, surely proof of concept is all they need, not an actual photo - what if what you're doing has never been done before? =)
Thanks heaps. That is exactly what I am looking for.
I will lodge them shortly.
as for complying with current adrs yes and no.
no doors equals no side impact protection adr.
no air bags = embroided message on seat belt "this vehicle does not comply with adr...
emissions it must meet within 5 years of standard - crate 6lt will.
most other adrs are for things like no re settable odo, lights in correct places etc.
brakes will be aust delivered 80 series,
no windscreen = no minimum swept area for wipers.
etc etc.
there are ways around everything as we found last dec when we got the 7 registered.
regards
Justin

Emissions is easy I was just wondering how you were going to comply with the accident ADR's.
ADR29 is no longer apliccable (side intrusion) but ADR's 69, 72 & 73 are but if they are going to give you a relaxation on these regs than you will be sweet.
Good to see someone using their noggin to get their play toy registered.
By 7 & guess you mean a Caterham 7?
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

It does not need to meet any crash regulations at all and these are on the seatbelt and on a dash sticker.
it does need to meet torsion and beaming which will be twice as high as the 7 but this thing is a race car so it will shit it in.
as for the 7, we built a caterham 7 replica from scratch. I'll post pics tonight
cheers bru

Malcolm Van Ysseldyk Bushranger is kinda similar. Some pics here, which probably arent the best to show them, but if you could find some clean pics of it on flat ground they might be ok. http://www.offroadimages.com.au/4x4even ... 887&page=1
torsion - place steel bars where shocks go, loag mass of people into seats and measure torsion with dial gauges. Beaming same test measure beaming for memory 4000N per deg 4cyl, 8000N per deg 6,8.
here is part of the application for the 7.
enjoy!
VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS FOR REPLICA LOTUS 7 ROADSTER

Tyres. Tyres are marked Eagle NCT 5 215R16 made in Australia, and comply with
ADR 23/00
Chassis: Square section steel space frame. Welded by qualified welder, all structural components. The chassis is based on a design from the book “Build your own sports car” by Ron Champion The design has been improved to meet the beaming and torsional requirements of Code LT1 specified by Queensland Transport.
Body: High tensile aluminium sheet glued on with Sikaflex vehicle construction adhesive and riveted every 70mm to the chassis.
Chassis:
The chassis is based on a design from the book “Build your own sports car” by Ron Champion, thousands have been built. The chassis includes changes to increase strength and improve cabin space.
The chassis changes include:
Widening the complete chassis by 100mm
Triangulation of the front face of the chassis
Additional bracing of the engine bay in top and bottom plan
Additional cross brace at the top front of the engine bay to between the front wishbones.
Additional bracing of the lower plan engine bay to support the engine mounts.
Strengthening of the passenger compartment and increasing the torsional rigidity by having the left and right hand rail horizontal instead of tapered at 10 degrees.
The chassis is constructed of 25mm square tubing 1.6mm thick.
The chassis uses 1.6mm high tensile aluminium sheet for the floorpan. The sheet is glued with Sikaflex auto construction adhesive, and riveted every 70mm with blind structural pop rivets.
The dashboard / scuttle is usually removable on this type of vehicle. The scuttle is built integrated with the chassis, becoming part of the chassis. The scuttle frame is constructed from 25mm tube bent to shape, and skinned with 1.2mm steel. This method of building would improve the torsional rigidity significantly.
Front Suspension
The front suspension uses Nissan S15 stub axles, hubs, and lower ball joint.
The top ball joint is from a Landcruiser 80 series.
The double wishbone suspension is constructed from 25mm seamless steel tube of 3mm wall (usually 19mmx1.5mm wall) The caster is set at 5 degrees and is not adjustable. The camber and toe in is adjustable by LH/RH threads and locknuts.
The front shockabsorbers and coil springs are coilover type.

All emission control components have been retained to ensure compliance.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system exits the body at the rear right of the vehicle. Protective shields cover any accessible components of the system.
Fuel system
A steel tank with 4 internal baffles is installed behind the rear firewall. The tank incorporates fittings to allow vapour recovery and fuel return from the engine.
The fuel filler is of the unleaded fuel type.
All fuel lines are plated steel and retained by P clips every 200mm.
The fuel pump is controlled by the computer to stop when the engine is not running.
Braking system
The front and rear brake assemblies, and the brake master cylinder, (ie all braking components) are from the Nissan S15.
The donor vehicle met ARD 31/00 and has a mass of 1375 kg. The new vehicle weighs under 650 kg The braking system will continue to meet ADR 31/00.
The mechanical handbrake assembly complete is utinised from the Nissan S15 and is capable of holding the vehicle on any sloped road.
Steering system
The vehicle uses the entire steering assemble from the Nissan S15. Steering column is collapsible, break away, as original; the original steering rack has been used. No modifications were necessary to the steering as the original positions and vehicle track are retained.
Instruments
The instruments ate all VDO cockpit vision and the speedometer is electronic, accurate and able to be calibrated. The speedo odometer goes to 999,999.9 kilometers.
Seating and seatbelts
The seats are bucket style built by SAAS and are marked as complying with ADR.
The seats are securely mounted with 4 grade 8.8 10mm bolts, to purpose fitted 35mm RHS steel cross bars. These bars are welded to the chassis and triangulated.
Seat belts are lap sash auto retractable, supplied by Klippan. Lower seat belt anchorages use 7/16” UNF captive nuts on a 75x75x3mm plate. The plate is welded on all 4 sides to chassis. The upper seatbelt anchorages use the 48mmx3mm seamless tube rollbar as the mount. The bolts passing through the bar are passing through crush tubes and local reinforcing.

joeblow wrote:was under the impression that you had to comply with the ICV regs of the year that the ICV is issued. if only we had the yank sytem.
Joe, I'm sure Justin will know the correct answer to this but here in QLD they changed the regs to basically allow an engine to be within 5years of the ICV issue date. QT being nice to all those people who are building their dream car in the garage as spare time allows.
It is what the Department of Infrastructure (formerly DOTARS) uses to record all the info behind Compliance Plate Approvals (CPA's) CPA's are what is given to a company that wants to fit compliance plates to new vehicles, new low volume imported vehicles and used imported vehicles.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............
A Four Wheel Drive with a Tube Chassis is a concept hugely popular in the USA, where they are commonly street registered. This concept enables the vehicle to be used as a normal 4x4 would, without the concern for vehicular panel damage as with all current production 4x4 vehicles.
The car is not a kit car. Many of the components, such as the chassis, are made by the builder from scratch.
Thousands of vehicles of this type have been built in America by enthusiasts like myself, and several are being built at the moment in Australia.
The experience the builders have gained building their vehicles, has been learnt by me, and I will build the vehicle to comply with all current ADR requirements.
The vehicle comprises of a structural mild steel space frame with aluminium panels riveted and bonded to the frame. The bonnet and wheel arches / mudguards are made of fiberglass and sheet steel.
Use is made of all parts from the “donor” vehicle, which is a Toyota 80 series Landcrusier wagon.
Engine is from a current model HSV Holden adapted to fit the Landcrusier transmission, using ADR compliant engineered components.
Suspension members are forged steel as per factory fitment from the above vehicle - up front, the rear fabricated from seamless mild steel.
This application for approval is submitted for Department of Transport approval under the Individually Constructed Vehicle Category (LH5, LH6)
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
To build a specialist vehicle with similar appeal to a production 4x4, but with greater concern to safety and practically than a current production 4x4.
The design has been refined over many years, and the vehicles built to this design are extremely safe.
Standard Dimensions:
Wheelbase: 3000mm
Front track 1650mm
Rear track 1650mm
Ground clearance 400mm
Height to top of rollbar 1800mm
Overall width 1970mm
Weight 1500kg
Engine 8 cylinder HSV Holden

If you look through each ADR there is NOTHING against a buggy! ADR's really are somewhat childish.
I will post up each step as I go.
My only problem is trying to get hold of my engineer who seems to have vanished. might go to his house. what is worse is Alan Marburg has moved to Brisbane so I will be spending dollars on trailer hire if I can't get hold of Graham Presley.
If anyone wants the word doc I will email it as it is formatted.

Will be following this one closely! If a clubman can be rego'd then a streetable ADR compliant buggy should be no different. Good luck with the process.
I would like it longer if I was only doing off-road racing say 125" but making it a little shorter for cliffhanger and general messing around. It will look a lot more aggressive then the picture (as it is a 90% race car) but I have to give them something more subtle to chew on.
The other thing to note as well is that the parts list will change once it is registered.
For example I have CNC brake master with dash bias adj / pedals etc which I will fit then remove and use 80 series master to get it passed - maybe have them mounted to a subframe.
I have just picked up my mastercraft pro seats which i will fit then remove to bodge up saas seats (adr approved) for approval.
I bought a momo steering wheel with disconnect and quickner 1/1.5 that will be retro fitted too.
I will make some dodgy front and back bumpers and remove them for winch bars etc etc
Its standard in the ICV process that bits "fall off" after approval such as bumpers, mufflers (they have to be new falcon quiet) etc
