It looks like there could be a move from 4000Nm requirement to 6000Nm requirement for chassis torsion tests with the new regulations that are being negotiated. So that may affect some kits. The new regulations are just trying to standardise the ICV requirements Australia wide. I'm sure that is what Dave has heard whispers on. I know one of the engineers that are consultants on the project. Any kit that has been registered in QLD has had to meet the 6000Nm requirement for a very long time. But like everything, nothing is set in concrete and these changes could still be some time off or never get implemented.

As far as I know, no engineer has been officially notified of any of the other changes. They get very early warning of any major changes. In my opinion until that notification happens we have nothing to fight. Also don't underestimate the engineers, they will go into bat for us, they have done so before, it is their livelihood that is on the line after all.
