Hi folks, Just out of curiosity does anybody know what type of work i will have to do to maintain the legality of an 02 jimny softop converting from a 1.3 to a 1.6 vitara engine in nsw? i'm starting this project right now, and have just realized it could be quite costly. I have been told in some cases it is a quick plate change. however recently i have found somthing that states i may not be good as 1.6 is just above the 1.56 that you get if you apply the 20% rule. What are my options for re-registering the vehicle in Nsw if I have such an engine? Is it possible that i can just get a back dated engine mod plate? Should i try to find a "lazy" mechanic for the reg test? Do I need to worry about anything? Feel free to pm me if you don't want your opinions on the matter to incriminate you. Thanks Dean |

how legit do you want it to be . seriously if the modification is done well (and you cant get just a mechanic to sign it off you need a certified modification plate "engineer") then its not that hard. or you could just grind off the 1.6 engine number and buy a $50 stamp set from trade tools and stamp your g13 number on there , remember to dispose your g13 block at the bottom of a deep river never to be found. I doubt any certified mod plate guy would even flinch an eye while installing the blue plate for a 1.3 to 1.6. i recently got a car mod plated (in qld) that went from about 70hp atw to 240hp atw.. |
