Compliance Workshops in Melbourne for Crown UZS 131 / Celsior

Hi guys,
I am from Melbourne and would like to know if there is a list of compliance workshops for Melbourne. I am planning to buy a Celsior C-F model or a Crown UZS 131 Royal Saloon G - in a few weeks.
Since the compliance rules differ among the states (like I heard), I would rather play it safe and get it done in Melbourne, then go for RWC and Rego.
If someone has a list of such compliance workshops (where I can get good quality work at a reasonable price) or a website link with such a list, please post them here.
Thanks !!

my mechanic has just recently done toyota celsior and toyota crown with a 1UZ-FE V8 motor.
i'm very sure about the crown but if it's the celsior then it might have to be the sooty car (sorry i'm not sure how it's spelt but it means it's the first of its kind to be imported and complianced by the garage hence has to meet all strict rules and inspection by the vic)
if you're serious PM me and i'll pass you the contacts. my mechanic does compliancing for heaps of skylines and a few toyotas, MR2 GZE is one of them and the V8 crown is another.

Dotars wont tell you squat, they will just say to ring Vic Roads or whatever the RTA is called there.
Email the RTA or whatever and they will give oyu a list of engineers close to you, well thats what QLD Transport did for me.
All they did on my Celsior was change the seatbelts, rivet on the plates and charge me a grand.

in victoria..
compliance for a crown included
seatbelts
emissions (new cat converter to aus standards, muffler and resonater if it's worn or car makes higher than usual sound)
emissions test + report
exhaust sound test + report
fuel nozzle entry size (funnel changed) for unleaded only
child restraints must be installed with every jap import car
also for the RWC include checks for
seat belt tensioners, bushes, arms, linkages, shocks, windscreen, rust etc etc
among many other things. there's a list a few pages long that lists things need to change and check so yea.. not so simple here.

for what year crown, and is this current with the new SEVS/RAWS system?
most japanese new cars have intrusion bars now (at least from 10 years ago).... maybe it's just old cars that don't?
