Pressure Pro Tyre Pressure Monitor

Ever wondered what condition your tyres were in whilst driving? Well the technology has been around for some time now but a new system just into Australia has really caught our eye. The PressurePro system allows you to fully install all four tyre sensors without actually removing the tyre from the rim like most other tyre monitoring kits. The sensors simply and ingeniously replace your valve caps on each wheel.

The slimline incab unit is easy to install and runs conveniently on 12V automotive power. It’s a simple plug and play unit, is easy to operate and does exactly what it says it will. For more information visit www.rvsystems.com.au

VSB14 - 4X4 Vehicle Modifications

Vicroads and other Government road agencies around the country have been working to have a common set of rules for vehicle modifications. These rules in their present draft will mean that all 4WD vehicles with a greater than 2 inch lift will require a engineering certificate. Lift includes body, suspension and tyres. Four Wheel Drive Victoria do not support the present position and seek your feedback. Many four wheel drivers have vehicle mods and these changes to the rules which have no basis in fact or science will limit the capacity to improve the ride of their vehicle without incurring considerable cost.

Four Wheel Drive Victoria has met with Vicroads and are presently preparing their submission on the issue. The NSW & ACT FWD Association have also been active after the NSW Minister for Roads said that all people who drove a modified vehicle were hoons. Fortunately there was such an outcry that he has withdrawn the comment and agreed to deal with industry.

The Australian Aftermarket Accessory Association AAAA together with VACC and FWDV have a working group. Scientific tests have been carried out which have shown that correctly modified vehicles have better ride characteristics than standard vehicles. Something most of us already know.

Four Wheel Drive Victoria are doing a survey of members and seek your support. Please log onto the survey site and complete the survey. We urge you to support FWDV in this request for information.

VSI 50 Postponed

The controversial proposed NSW Vehicle Standards Information - 50 regarding raising and lowering of vehicles has been indefinitely postponed by the RTA.

4wd TV has been opposed to the new standards and the viewers support via correspondence to the Minister for Roads has contributed to this terrific outcome.

The Minister for Roads Michael Daley has agreed that more consultation is needed, and a working group including representatives from Four Wheel Drive NSW-ACT, Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association, the Australian 4wd Industry council and other agencies and experts will be formed to work toward a practical solution.

4wd TV will continue to monitor this issue and with your sensible support hope to be able to report on a positive outcome in the future.
