i do find this rediculous.
And in a business point of view i dont think the ACCC can approve this as a law anyway. as business's will be effected, eg. wheel manufacturers, Non Nissan/factory standard replacement parts manufactureres, and similar situations... eg. gauge manufacturers, and so on.
From what i have heard about this law is.. its not giving us the right to have a cheaper alternative, and therefor making the car wholesalers more profit.. eg. spending $180 on a new air flow meter, as to spending $70 to get a generic replacement of same or greater quality.
My car is as stock as a skyline can come about, but if i was to replace a broken BOV with a non standard plumb back,and save myself the money and hassle of obtaining a genuine Nissan Brand BOV.
And as for these new laws, i have seen no advertising, and no notice as to what you can, and cannot do.
the point of laws is to know them, so they cannot be broken, except by choice, not by negligence..
