In NSW you can get any motor engineered into any car but it all comes down to the class of registration and class of vehicle.

To fit in the 'modified production vehicle' class the engine has to be under the before mentioned size by Kegs.
( this is the easiest class to engineer with the least criteria to meet)

Any bigger and the car will have to be classed as 'Individually constructed' and the vehicle will have to meet the Australian Design Rules of 2004.

It is posible to work with an engineer and to build the car to meet the Modified production class and still have a larger engine
But the cost and requirements would overcome the final outcome

You can get all your information at www.rta.nsw.gov.au
there you can get a list of engineering signatories to contact to see what is required for this conversion and if they will pass it.

talked to an engineer on saturday( a friend of a friends)
asked him if he would engineer these engines for me:
sr20det
vg30de
ca18det
vn 3.8 v6
would engineer them all but told me to come back to talk more about suspension and chassis mods etc. when i have the car and the $$$ to build it
also said i am looking at $15-20k for it

Whats the engineers name and wheres he from?

Cheers Steve

im 17 from sydney
did 62 in a 50 zone on last day of double demerits down a hill.
the cop wasnt even behind me he was 2 cars back and was speeding wit me and the car behind me, i turned off and he let the other car go and fined me( i think just coz im on my p's) how about that the cop didnt even have line of sight and i got booked for doin 12 over i lose my license...
pretty f*cked if u ask me, im the only one in peak hour not speeding too and i get harrassed everyday for it. tough life
ohh well if all goes well with this ute iwant i can always outrun the cops ;) hahahahaha
Question: with the ca18det do i need to widen the gearbox tunned, any major problems with the g/box and tunnel?

You might be able to outrun the cops, but you can't outrun their two way radio.

true but my scanner will tell me wat they do and dont know.. if they say it on air that is

do not put a VN v6 in! sorry but that would be just WRONG!

In Sydney only in a few areas do the police use radios full time now, Most areas use the onboard computer system for alerts and checks, So your scanner's not really much use nowdays.
But hey still give it a go champ
