In sayin that If you installed a set of Nizpro 72s (stock injectors that have been drilled) and tuned it I doubt that anyone would pick up on it.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 1d Posted 22/04/13 05:02 AM Share Posted 22/04/13 05:02 AM Interested in this also. I guess it depends on the assessor and whether they pick up on things. As mentioned above they're not going to pick up on drilled injectors etc.Apparently there's a list of what' covered and what's not? Never found it myself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 9m 2d Posted 22/04/13 05:11 AM Author Share Posted 22/04/13 05:11 AM I threw all these questions at the rep as in, changing injectors, boosting etc...lol...drove them nuts...and was told the only condition is that the vehicle needs to be street legal, and that as long as the modifications don't cause the vehicle to be defective, the insurance is valid.I just need more convincing, because I know that the average clerk in the branch, might not be giving me the most accurate information. So is it definate that injectors and a tune will fail EPA standards, hence causing the car to be defective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 22/04/13 05:24 AM Share Posted 22/04/13 05:24 AM Yep.. Technically any significant increase in admissions fails EPA rules..A mate of mine went through the same problem with a Cammed VY SS.. All the usual Expensive Daewoo bolt on mods..NRMA never gave an answer other then 'Needs to be street legal'..Do ya wanna take a chance with a 20k+ car?
