no they did pass with flying colors before 1st july. this is changing and enforcing tighter restirctions on engine changes.

its changing the goal posts which is allowable.

there are less old car lovers like us and more skyline/commodore/falcons blah blah blah new car modders out there. this stops a lot of their conversions too.

i see the point of new cars and emmissions, but putting a newer engine into a pre 1980 car should be no dramas. in most cases can only be an improvement.
