Motiv engineering south australia

[deadset16]

Hi all.
Im looking to get my 2011 engineered for 32s and no lift. So i will only need to engineer the bigger tyres. Ive been looking around and come across motiv engineering in blackwood in the hills and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with them. Or if anybody else from south australia has had any good experience with any other engineers they could recomend.

Is this purely for insurance purposes?

Get a tyre placard sticker from toyota for a SR5 hilux as they came out with 31" from factory making your 32" legal

[deadset16]

Yeah it is purely for insurance coverage.

I was researching the rules and in south and they only allow an increase of 15mm which makes 32s illegal on sr5s aswell.

I'm not much help but I'm very keen to find out how you go but I will need tyres and lift engineered.

I looked into it before and not sure just with tyres but mine required the rental of a runway to do swerve testing so it was very expensive.

Yeah i have also enquired about engineering a lift and tyres and i got quoted 2500 because of the need for a runway or racetrack. I will do that in the future but for now i just want ti engineer the tyres because i dont have the money to throw away 2500

The current law in SA is for not requiring engineering
1.3x factory width for tyre width
50mm max wider track
50mm max tyre dia
Max 75mm total lift
Max 2" body/suspenshion lift

All of theise measurments are off your year made not first reg. And that you car meats the safety standards of the model you go off
Ie you have an sr and want to use sr5 wheel dia. As a base line, you mast have same brake setup diff size and width

Unless your going over 4" total or 2" body lift you shouldn't need a swerve test
4-6" requires a swerve test at 110kph
6" up icv or 1001 hoops and a tonn of cash

Suspenshion lift

Can't find the tyre size bit on sa site as its under the light commercial vehicles section

[deadset16]

Im not sure about that john but ill get a second opinion because the engineer i talked to said as soon as you raise the roof of your car by more than 50mm with any combination of suspension body lift or tyres you require a roll test

[john253a]

It's in the section MC and the laws was put through under ncop/vass dec15
So not all might know the section off top head,
I am at currently going through it all to have mine passed but some states are passing more then others

Best bet is to speak to more then 1 engineer

On a side note your factory stock hilux my not pass under vass standards, because now you no longer engineer a part ie seats change, now the whole car must pass and be to a set stanard of the day,

[GazaShaggy]

Unfortunately the OP is correct in SA we can only increase tyre diameter by 15mm I believe we are the only state that hasn't gone to the 50mm there was discussion and a bill put forwarded a little while ago but didn't get passed

I saw that but that is for passanger car not light commercial, off road, transport section
The section for mc registered vehicles was taken off line 2-3 ago

The 15mm rule applies in every state but doesn't apply to mc class vehicles

You can also engineer in another state then transfer the reg over
Witch is what my engineer has susgested to me to aid in a cheaper price overall
