You sure about that??

We swapped My brothers engine for a 1J and was told it didn't require an engineers certificate, Just blue slip and change engine No at RTA. Which is what was done.

Unless of course the Guy who blue slipped it meant "Pffft Na Bro, youse Don't need an engineer for dat"
as opposed to "Mate, by RTA's rules one does not require engineering for said conversion"

That was my exact predicament. I went into our local RTA tech standards customer service area. Asked if engine x will be fine to fit to car model y without engineers certification as it was an factory fitment in Japan. Point Dexter wanders off then comes back and says yes that is acceptable just return to have the engine number details changed on the rego. Stupid me being a trusting phucker and thinking that the RTA's word is gold head home and complete conversion.

Return to same building for inspection to have engine number and details changed on rego only to be told that I can go away and get an engineers certificate. After much discussion, I lose and rip a skid out of the inspection station. $700 later I have certificate and a the car passes over with ease.

Get any statements in writing, most of the RTA staff are useless public servants who don't give a toss Very Happy
