New Zealand: "NOSE" = North Odd South Even (thousands of feet) plus 500' - but remember that it's MAGNETIC and above 3000' (and above 1000' agl). Plus the clouds have to be 2km away unless you are 1000' above or below them.

CAA Part 91:
91.313
VFR cruising altitude and flight level
(a) A pilot-in-command of an aircraft operating within the New Zealand
FIR under VFR in level cruising flight at more than 3000 feet AMSL or
1000 feet AGL (whichever is the higher) must, unless otherwise authorised
by an ATC unit, maintain the following altitudes or flight levels:
(1) when operating at or below 13 000 feet AMSL and—
(i) on a magnetic track of 270° clockwise to 089°, any odd
thousand foot altitude AMSL plus 500 feet; or
(ii) on a magnetic track of 090° clockwise to 269°, any even
thousand foot altitude AMSL plus 500 feet:
(2) when operating at or above flight level 150, up to and including
flight level 275 and—
(i) on a magnetic track of 270° clockwise to 089°, any odd
flight level plus 500 feet beginning at and including flight
level 155; or
(ii) on a magnetic track of 090° clockwise to 269°, any even
flight level plus 500 feet beginning at and including flight
level 165.
(b) A pilot-in-command of an aircraft operating within the New Zealand
FIR under VFR must not maintain level cruising flight—
(1) at any level between 13 000 feet AMSL and flight level 150
unless otherwise authorised by an ATC unit for flights in
controlled airspace; and
(2) at any flight level below flight level 160 when an area QNH
zone setting is 980 hPa or less.
