With permission I am 'promoting' my services to the members of this forum.
 
I am happy to answer some questions people have relating to the registration/engineering process we have in N.S.W but please dont hammer me with the easy questions, just some of the more difficult ones I can help you with.
 
I am a Licensed VSCCS Certifier.  This is the 'Engineering' system currently in place for registration of modified/altered vehicles in N.S.W

welcome matthew
 
know much about the qld system?

not really 2 drives to sydney is a bit of a pain lol but could be fun i guess, its good to have someone on here that knows what there talking about when it comes to something getting engineered. the local guy where i am is useless, just tells me to do it and he'll come have a look 

I had a giggle, bung him in the Tech section.. like ask an expert, like the segments they have on the radio.. when a Police officer comes on the radio so you can ask questions..

Welcome Matt, good to have you aboard...

There is a code of practise to follow called VSB14.  Then look under the 'brakes' section.
 
Basically try to take the brake system in its entirity from a vehicle with a ≥ (equal to, or greather than) mass and power output.
 
You can mix and match calipers and brakes etc, however more extensive testing will then be required.  Nothing to crazy for cars built before 1977 but still more intense that your regular pink slip test.
 
There are many different ways to do this legally however each car is going to be somewhat unique when compared to general rules and for that reason you would need to consult a Engineer/Certifier who can see the car in person and make a judgement for you.

What are SA rules like I heard they are pretty easy?
Love one of these to play with in a 1000 coupe with longer wheelbase

hey matt
 
just was on the 1200 forum reading and you said the 1200 ute is classified as a commercial vehicle, would this mean the b20 would be classified as a commercial vehicle to?
 
just would like to know what you think about a naturally aspirated 12a rotary in a b20? would there be a chance of getting it passed?

yea i actually remember reading that, my memory is bad
 
if its classified as a commercial vehicle i dont see why you couldn't put a n/a 12a in it, the engineer i was talkin to must of been going off that chart either way i'll have to ring someone i guess
