WARNING Qld guys modifying your Z NCOP coming 1/11/2012 not good!!

Hi Guys,

 

Don't know if its general knowledge but the National Code of Practice is coming in on the 1st November 2012 after  this date you are pretty much screwed if you want to do engine conversions and full roll cage

 

BUT PLEASE IF YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF MODIFYING YOUR Z GO SEE/FIND A ENGINEER and find out what the go is

 

Engine conversions

for example 240Z can only be fitted with no larger than a 2.8 litre turbo motor or 4.2 liter NA, so if your in the middle of engine transplant bigger than what I've stated you had better hurry up and go find yourself a engineer and find out cut of dates etc. As I've heard that if you start prior to the 1st November 2012 you will have 6 months to complete your engine conversion and have it all signed off etc.

 

Full Roll Cages

Will no longer be allowed after the 1st November 2012 but a 1/2 roll cage is ok as they will no longer allow any structure in front of the B pillar so if you want a full roll cage you had better get one of these installed as well.

 

I thing other that this there is not to much else to be worried about.

 

And again I say....

BUT PLEASE IF YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF MODIFYING YOUR Z GO SEE/FIND A ENGINEER and find out what the go is

 

Cheers

Ian

... for example 240Z can only be fitted with no larger than a 2.8 litre turbo motor or 4.2 liter NA,..

 

I would suggest that is a very narrow interpretation. There are numerous LS1 conversions (5669cc) which have been approved under NCOP.

I sense the Holden 253 will be making a comeback. Fuck yeah!

Thats why I said go see/find a engineer and find out what the go is

Wa already has rules very similar to this already... No big v8 zeds here ever

Hang on a bit.

 

Is there not a Western Australian Dunsborough based blue Zed with a Chev V8 that I saw running at the Albany Wind Farm stage a few years back?
