perhaps a good place to start would be with a list of cars and the accompanying alignment specifications and clear list of reasons as to why they are not suitable.
We could build this into a formal submission from NZ Datsun Club & have the committee forward this onto the LVVTA in a formal capacity.
As an "organization" the LVVTA might take it seriously and pehraps we can get some specs changed for various datsun models making it more manageable for people with lowered and modified suspension systems.
At the end of the day it seems ridiculous that some cars have quite a high limit ( eg z31 at 1.9 neg + 0.5 ) is apparently ok when some datsun owners wont be allowed anywhere near negative.
that is a huge inconsistency, I personally believe Huge toe in / toe out is more of an issue to consider. I could correct my camber back to zero and lower my car quite a lot and have huge toe in which give me an evil handling pig that ruins tires in 5000kms.

Agreed with all of the above.
Im also heading off to Cert soon and have concerns as i have fitted camber plates to the front of my car purely in order to tuck my front wheels in the guard as the offset is a bit out. It also looks badass too. I will head into Wayne soon and talk to him about it. In regards to ride height im sitting around 110 off the ground .And i dont think my tires are stretched. 185/60/13 on a 13x7

I believe it is in the camber information sheet that anything with a motorsport authority or competition road legal vehicle dosn't have to meet the LVVTA specs on oem + 0.5 for camber

Hope the tyre manufacture says it's okay to fit that tyre to a rim that wide 'cause it doesn't comply according to the fact sheet.
