The Ultra Tune mechanic rang the RTA Defect section and was told flat out that "anything aftermarket on the car is defect-able and is illegal', that means 'anything'.

This is true. 100% true.
As stated before, cars are engineered and tested to the Nth degree, and ANY modification you do could potentially unbalanced something.
As stated before, get any modification you have done engineered and checked, because in the event of an accident, the insurance company has the right to refuse you insurance if you car is A) Different to what you told them, and B) Deemed 'illegal' in the eyes of the Law.
You can also lose all rights your license gives you because you can be found driving an unroadworthy/unsafe/'illegal' car.
So for YOUR OWN sake, get it checked.
99% of cops will turn a blind eye to 90% of modifications, (rims, tyres, bodykits, stereos, the list goes on), but remember that they do hav ethe right to sticker you for it.

This is 100% bullshit. No not really, just another generalisation. All aftermarket modifications aren't necessarily illegal! And its ridiculous to say so. Once again people making statements when they don't really know what they are talking about - not meant to single anyone out here.
For example, you say you can get defected for aftermarket rims? So if I go and grab a set of normal size Alloys for my commodore with exactly the same dimension, Swap the original tyres over - this is illegal ? I Know its not !
Get specific guys, the law is pretty black and white in Most areas, and needs to be discussed in such a manor - not "my friend and ultratune said this". You need to be sure of the facts when stating something so broad.
All Aftermarket modifications - this would include stereos, seat covers, hub caps...the list goes on - so many of which are not illegal.
