Dualcab GU registered as an ICV?

Post by deansguii »

Hi guys, Just wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge than me could answer some questions?



Has anyone registered a Dualcab Chopped patrol as an ICV? As it seems an ICV can have bigger tyres and a reasonable lift written up as standard fitment?



Therefore making say a 5" Lift and 35's legal.



ICVs built with

production vehicle body

shells

A monocoque body shell from a production passenger car (MA category)

will not be considered as the basis for an ICV unless:

· the body is fitted to a separate chassis resulting in a change of

category to MC or NA - for example, a Holden Commodore station

wagon body fitted to a Toyota Landcruiser chassis and suspension,

or

· the body is substantially modified so that it no longer is recognisable

as the original vehicle or a production variant – for example, a four

door sedan cut into a two door utility.






The 2nd point, four door sedan cut into a ute, would this count also on a 4 door wagon cut into a 4 door ute? It was never released in a dualcab ute, so it could possibly be engineered as an ICV yes?



Therefore my 5" Lift and 35's become standard fitment?



Ive read through the the data on QLD Transport about ICV's and i cant see anywhere that it says i cant do this?



Only thing itll do is possibly make my insurance more expensive, but im used to that, HSV when i was 18 cost over $2500 a year to insure.



Any info from anyone would be great, Do we have any engineers on this forum?



Cheers, Dean.

you've already asked this question in general, don't spam the whole forum with the same question, just keep it to one thread.

Gee sorry,

I put it in nissan first, then thought that its not really specific to nissan as it would be the same with say a cruiser. So made one in general.

I didnt realise we were still in primary school pointing fingers! I would hardly call 2 threads spamming the whole forum. U one of these people that arent happy without a good winge?

Grow up mate.

Cheers, Dean.
