Previously in this form it was stated 13B ... has the rules changed?

David maybe someone has said it was a 13b but it would have been a mistake, in NSW a 13b is rated as a 2.6 litre capacity so its a no no.

I think you must be living in fairyland as all I have read from you is 'how do I sneak my unregisterable car past the rego Nazi's "

As I have writen before, even if you succeed you will get caught out when you smash it [I'll bet real cash money on it]
That's when your problems start as you will be charged with the relevant traffic offense, then with driving an unregistered & uninsured car. [These are automatically revoked once it is discovered that the vehicle is illegally constructed.]
If another vehicle is damaged then the other persons insurance company will come after you PERSONALLY in order to recover their loss & any other incidental costs that they can dream up.

Save yourself the grief, go see an engineer & follow his guggestions completely & give up this thought of trying to get past the regs by deception.

Here's a heads up. If by some means I discover that you [or anyone else] is pulling a swiftie like this, I will be on the blower to the RTA Nazi's to let them know.
There are more than a few of our members here that I know would be doing the same thing too.
I have no intention of allowing any of my family or any of my friends to be sharing the road with an un-engineered & potentially unsafe car if at all possible.

put a running a12 in it, get it regod and then take it home and drop the 13b in untill it blows :P

Bang on the Money!!!!!

i agree also with u dodgeman, i dont practice what i preach, but i am in the process to talking to engineers to get it rego for insurance purposes :)

or if ne1 in qld is keen they can buy my mod plated 13b bridgeport 1200 ute ;)

cops often dont know much when they are lookin under your bonnet unless they are an enthusiast themselves, but it doesnt take an enthusiast to know a loud stinky motor like a rotor and defect it.

As much as it's tightening up here, I thank my lucky stars that we don't have such killjoy laws here in NZ!
A bloke I know has pulled the 13B PP out of his 1200 sedan, and is building a 500hp 13BT for it. And it's predominantly a street car too.
