Special Interest Vehicle Rego
15 May 2010
Just a reminder if your car has SIVR in line with department of transport guidelines you MUST be
a member of an incorporated car club.
Mackay Holden Club contact Greg Hughes Ph: 0411552422
Taken from QLD Transport web site.
Vehicles registered under the scheme have certain limitations placed on their use. This is reflected in
the reduced fees and compulsory third party insurance premium. Registered operators must confine
their vehicle's use to:-
* participating in rallies organised by incorporated car clubs
* participating in processions for which a Special Events Permit has been issued under the
Transport Operations (Road Use Management -Accreditation and Other Provisions)
Regulation 2005
* exhibiting the vehicle in displays, fetes or similar functions conducted for religious, charitable
or educational purposes
* ceremonial purposes (weddings, formals) involving immediate family members provided this is
not done for fee or reward. Immediate family means parents, grandparents, sons, daughters,
grandchildren but not extended family relationships such as nephews and nieces
* preparing for, proceeding to, and returning from the above activities
* travel in order to have the vehicle repaired. There is no distance restriction in these circumstances.
However, such travel must be reasonable and openly justified by the vehicle operator.
* Road testing within a 15 kilometre radius from the place where the vehicle is garaged. The
purpose of the travel must be to road test the vehicle following repair or restoration and not for
any other purpose. This does not include use as a means of transport.
* Buses are permitted to carry non-fare paying passengers for journeys (joy-rides) from an event
(e.g. fete) and return provided the length of the journey does not exceed 5 kilometres. Payment
of any kind cannot be received for these journeys.
* Heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass (GVM) are permitted to carry a load
provided the loaded GVM or gross combination mass (GCM) does not exceed 50% of the
maximum permitted mass for the vehicle configuration. This mass is based on the lesser of:
1. Individual Axle ratings 3. Manufacturer's GVM or GCM
2. Tyre Manufacturer's limits 4. Regulation Mass Limits
The load carried must be in relation to or part of the reason for the vehicle's use under the scheme.

Aussie 4 speed gearbox ID info.
16 July 2010
Firstly, the use of the terms M20 & M21 & so on, is very confusing. The 1 code number can refer to more than 1 type of box, so it's better not to rely on them. For instance an M20 is also an Opel 4-speed, an M21 is a Saginaw, the M22 is another Saginaw & M22 is also what GM in the US call their Hi-Torque Muncie 'Rock-Crusher' box. The box in the XU-1 is called an M20 even though its ratios are closer to what we normally call an M21.
There are 5 different ratio sets available in the Aussie 4-speed. They are:-
3.05/2.19/1.51/1.00 (Cluster Part No. 2813496) This is the most common version (normally called the M20) & is available with both 6 & V8 front shaft lengths.
2.54/1.83/1.38/1.00 (Cluster Part No. 2813497) This is probably the 2nd most common box & is standard fitment behind 308/5.0 V8s (normally called the M21) & is usually only seen with a V8 length front shaft, although there was a 6-cylinder version homologated as a alternate choice of ratios for the LJ XU-1.
3.74/2.68/1.68/1.00 (Cluster Part No. 2820694) This is the 'wide ratio' box (normally called the M22) that is usually only seen in 6-cylinder HQ-WB One-Tonners. It was only ever factory built with a 6-cylinder length front shaft, but since the clutch gear is the same as an M15 3-speed box, you could use an M15 V8 front shaft & make a V8 M22 if you really needed one.
2.54/1.83/1.25/1.00 (Cluster Part No. 2823899) This is the box that is often wrongly referred to as the 6-cylinder M21, when it was actually called the XU-1 M20 (by GM-H). It was standard issue in XU-1s (with a 6-cylinder front shaft, obviously) but the same ratio set was also homologated as an alternate unit for racing for the L34 (with a V8 length front shaft).
2.54/1.65/1.25/1.00 (Cluster Part No. 9939484) This is probably the rarest box of all, as it was only seen as an homologated alternate unit for the LJ XU-1 & the LH L34, with their respective 6-cylinder & V8 length front shafts.
There is no difference in strength between any of these boxes, they all use the same bearings & casing etc. A V8 M21 is no stronger than a 6-cylinder M20. The M22 is not stronger just because it's a One Tonner Box. Also the ID grooves on the front shaft is not reliable.
