I tried searching because I 've read it on here before but i can't be using the right search words??? Can someone please give me the power-to-weight formula for engine conversions. And an example if that's not too much to ask Thanks |

The national code is not used in QLD. Page 31 - http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/b3ea8c53...sreductions.pdf What are you saying? That these rules don't apply? I had been hoping to put a 2.7L hilux motor into a 750kg sedan. Is there ways around it? How do hot rodders get their cars mod plated for big V8's? |

Page 31 of that link is the QLD law. iamhappy46 has posted the national laws that QLD don't currently use. |

Hot Rodders 'used' to get away with it by classing the vehicle as an Individually Constructed Vehicle(ICV) but the loop hole has since closed |

NCOP is -apparently- coming out in June/July - then again they've been saying that for years though. |

*Edit TARE is 800kg on rego cert. So if using schedule B 'safety upgrade' it's a maximum 2.4L NA or 2.0L turbo |

The vehicle weight is not what it weighs on a set of scales with a full tank of fuel... it is the weight listed on the bottom of your RTA paperwork. ie my N14 Pulsar is 1100Kg which makes the VQ35 conversion legal |

from the actual information from the manufacturer, not a random google search Are you stating that official manufacturer weights cannot be found with google? I beg to differ. As kindly pointed out by iamhappy46, the weight to go by is on my rego cert, Thanks |
