I get asked this question on a daily basis.
It can be done in any state, it just finding the engineer that knows what they are doing. All states follow the same ADR rules, so state to state makes no difference. If you just roll up to the Motor reg. department and ask they will say NO, that because they are going by the documents from the guidelines to modifying a Vehicle. These are a Guideline not the rule book. If you engineer can prove with evidence that you car out performs all the required ADR's they can not so no. We have been doing this for years in Adelaide with a few different very good engineers. Its not cheap, so dont think you can get it done for $500 or $1000, they normally charge $2500 upwards, depending on what you are doing. My engineer has said to me, that using a lot of my products and my fabrication, we can get a twin turbo LS regoed. And before you say it (my states rego department is the hardest to deal with) not true. It finding the engineer is the hard thing.

As above, I have a A12 with Auto still in a Sunny, Can hear running, I need it gone or going to Sims. 0411 133 955 Adelaide Hills

There is a national guidelines for modifiying of vehicles, and thats where the problem is. It is a guideline not a rule, and in that guidline the vehicle mass is mentioned. That is where a GOOD engineer can go outside the guidelines and supply the appropriate evidance to proove the vehicle meets and outperforms the required regulations.

It can be done, most engineers will say it can't, that is because they dont know or CBF. Me enginee in Adelaide spoke to the head of the NSW department, and was given a verbal ok, if a full evidence package including testing was done. From what I have heard about the prosses in NSW, most engineers dont even Track test or do the Australian approved sample tests EG lane change, brake fade etc.

I looked into this, as I was going to do it for my SR20DET ute for a potential customer. Sold it without having to.

Good to see another coupe saved from the crusher, What class of racing are you building if for.

If you want to give as a call with your concerns, we are more that happy to help out as much as possible. The hight you have in the front is as low as i would ever run my 1200's, any lower your handling will go to #OOPS#. We have built some quick race cars and found that your times will get slower the lower you go. Also you mustn't have much suspention travel on the rear with it that low.

Saying that we can make them as low as you want, but you will loose travel, handling and the springs will be not to near captive, thus macking your car defectible.
