  • GVM Upgrade - 120 Series

    G'day All, I have been searching the net a lot to no prevail. It would seem that a GVM Upgrade Option existings for the 150 Series but I cant seem to find anything for the 120 Series.

    Does anyone know of anyone in Perth that can do a GVM Upgrade for a 120 Series?

    Cheers!

    Thougt you could only do a GVM upgrade when the vehicle is brand new? I could be totally wrong about this also.

      Not entirely sure. I received an email back from Malaga Suspensions tonight who said that could help us with this so will give them a call tomorrow.

        If a GVM upgrade is done before first rego, it is compliant in all states.
        If a GVM upgrade is done after first rego, it is only compliant in the state it is registered in.
        IIRC Lovells do a GVM upgrade for the 120

          Hey,

          Driveline Services should be able to help you out, they have a shop in Perth.

          http://www.driveline.com.au/product/...rts/suspension

          Driveline use Durashocks (Gen 1 Lovells) in their upgrade, which are gas charged twin tubes. I have run these and the rear shocks didn't last more than a single Fraser trip.

          However, I believe that new regulations with GVM upgrade allow you to put in equivalent valving/coil rates from different after market manufacturers, which means you'll pay to get the GVM plate, then ditch the Durashocks and put in some nice Bilsteins.

          All very costly just for a GVM upgrade I know, but this is unfortunately how things are.

          Best

            Had an engineer look at mine in VIC.
            And he said i would have to change rear diff assembly to gain 100 kg GVM.
            Mine is a Grande though so no rear springs .

                Please see this thread about my car - whilst this is SA it should be loads easier in WA as you don't have a nazi state government like we do here!

                    Bargain! Did it include a free 200 by chance?
