Post by SIM79 »

Just got of the phone with Queensland Transport and they the NCOP won't start untill June or July and the NCOP draft still isn't finalized so they couldn't tell what will be legal yet.

i wonder if we can start a small wager and see who comes up with the right answer, im building my track/street car to qld transport standards, not NCOPS, coz i think it will be the new year before we see NCOPS.

theyre relatively close in most respects anyway, so just try and build it to both...
97 GQ patrol coilcab. TD42, safari turbo kit with fiddled turbo, D-GAS kit. dyno results to come...
4inch lift, king springs, efs and procomp shocks
315/70R16 cooper ST's
found fuel economy...

february/march next year i reckon. :lol:

there shouldnt be different versions for different states, thats the whole idea of it being a national code of practice, so that different states cant make different rules so theres not so much confusion.

but all its gonna be is a bunch of engineers who are going to be consistantly vague across the state, rather than differing one state to the next, so should make moving interstate easier

Why is everybody so parinoid of NCOP

Firstly they are only guidelines

Secondly you can go beyond it's limitations however you need to prove to the engineer that it has been safely with all considerations (no different to as it is now)

People are not paranoid, but people in Qld are pulling themselves at the prospect of running a few mods legally.

The 1 problem I can see with the NCOP stuff it's seem to be for 1 off stuff that really isn't the norm for people, like doing a stretched 4wd/limo or a wagon body onto a patrol chasis or those trikes.


for example if people look at the suspension guide NCOP won't cover a lift higher than 150mm, but a lift up/down of 1/3rd factory ride hight isn't covered by NCOP but state guidelines.

Then for an off-road vehicle you can't have a tire that's over 50mm or below 26mm of any of the tire placard tires.

So it may mean a different keetle of fish than what people would like.

at the moment your lucky if a 50mm lift is legal or the next size tyre from std, so the new rules are going to be better for most people in qld.

ACT enforce this. 15mm without engineering 50mm with engineering. ACT have basically adopted NCOP verbatim.

No legal 33's for Jeep wranglers anymore (29" stock) unless you were engineered before the new rules. Canberra jeepers have already been knocked back trying to get engineered on 33's.

That's because ACT and NT are run by Fedral giv anyway, so have to follow NCOP rules.

ACT isnt, hasnt been for 18 years. The ACT RTA basically aligning themselves with the NSW RTA to try to be consistent.
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...............
