New car laws
Has anyone heard anything about them ? mate just went to get his chopped harley passed. Nope his engineer also told him no more mag wheels no tubbed guards, he said they are outlawed so he cannot finish his FJv8.And the engineer is chucking it in when the new laws come in.

where is this rubbish coming from? We try and improve our own safety and conform to any regs that come out of F****Canberra! And this is how we are treated!

It's a twin Turbo 383 stroked Holden V8, so pretty much everything, from the aftermarket (larger) wheels, open fuel system in the boot, (i dunno either, it's a surge tank and pumps?) to the obvious engine changes

"It seems this country is becoming more communist than Russia!"
Partly correct: actually "socialist Australia"; a commercial dictatorship with ever increasing loss of personal freedoms and loss of personal choice.
Modified car laws are one thing, but just try and operate a small Australian owned business and own a commercial property. With new laws almost immpossible now.

Check the laws applicable to whichever state your car will be registered in as they do differ depending on where you are.
The last two years of working on my project have taught me one thing about mods. Ask the engineer. Nothing else matters other than his opinion as he will sign the car off. Nothing on the internet matters, especially forum comments.

Guys as long as you don't drive like a hoon most cops will give you a thumbs up as you drive past. Get an engineers tick if you have clear visable mods that require it, and most of the laws from the early 1900's are still in place but aren't enforced as they are not relevant so in a nutshell don't stress.
