Would a Queensland Report then cover the bus Australia Wide?
Or does it have to be issued in the state the rego's the car (which is crazy if that is the case but that's government for you).

As you are in SA not NSW it is probably be too far to be of any assistance to you. But I was curious how the law works.

No, the report has to come from your state. And everyone's different.

That is silly. They should nationalise it.
Mind you I think Queensland s Rego and Safety Certificate system is nice and relaxed and would not want that to come in-line with NSW....

Hey,
Haven't been on here for a while,
I fitted red9 front n rear to my bus last year
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16557&start=45

It's easy as to do yrself,
Pros.
Bolts straight in
Rides n steers great
Fully adjustable
Stops better than my modern car
Looks good

Cons.
Can't run standard height
Max 5" rear drop
Can't run standard wheels due to brake calipers
Horn won't work
Handbrake cable ends
Price????

Easy to install, both front n rear build up in sections,
Had to grind a few mm off of the frame horn to get the rear to fit
Need to remove og brake line mounts from front inner arch
If you are running a booster , Das Resto make a better bracket-well worth it as eliminates flex, I have a red 9 front in my 75 ute with the standard booster bracket which is shit as only bolts to the top.
Handbrake cable ends are fiddly,there was a lot of swearing trying to install these little bitches.

Would I buy it again.? Yes

I'm in the nanny state, SA
Currently not engineered, it's safer now than the dodgy box and kingpins that passed the inspection
