Mod plate?? Why would it need a mod plate? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392301-manual-conversion/#findComment-6311238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBR33 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Mod plate?? Why would it need a mod plate? Becuse its the law and if a cop can read the blue plate your getting a fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392301-manual-conversion/#findComment-6312412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcrash Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ummmm I think your engineer just wanted more money, gearbox swaps are not a modification. But I've only done like 10 gearbox swaps in the last 10 years so maybe cops just love me.

ARE31 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Certainly does need a mod plate. As it has been modified from auto to manual. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392301-manual-conversion/#findComment-6312694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smity42 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Actually I checked this a while ago with QLD transport... as long as you use ALL standard parts from a manual version of the same model car, you don't need a mod plate.

LBR33 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The engineer i spoke to said i need one and so have all the highway patrol cops i speak to, I would rather spend the $50 and get a mod plate then get a $200 fine.

lilcrash Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 its your choice/money to spend but how often does a cop look at what gearbox you have in your car. hell ive had a jza80 supra gearbox in my 1972 celica and i never even got a comment at the size of it the 3 times i was defected/put over the pits for random things. cops have no idea what they are looking at, i have even had 2 cops try to tell me my car needed a cat. sorry for the rant i just dont understand the logic behind most nissan owners..
