the rta link to a complete list of sydney engineers, as well as a whole bunch of previous recommendations, can all be found by searching the forums

"The RTA has a list of all the engineers in Sydney (and prolly Australia for that matter) on their web site somewhere.
I went to the guy that is very first on the list, he's in Hornsby & gets a recommendation from me. Joel."
"Here is the list that Joel refers to:
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/v si15.pdf
I recommend Mr Lohning myself, but I have heard that the guy Joel went to is also good as well.
Cheers "

You gotta be carfeul who you go to. Some of them want full 5 gas analyser results which means any engine will fail most of the time. A new commonwhore with 5000kms on the clock will fail it.

if you are have emission problems,in california USA they are using air injection into the exhaust system.not sure how/why/what exactly but they seem to be able to get things passed there that way.some one might have a better insight in to this as i might be full of it also

Toyota did this on the 5M-E ! lol
My stock 81' 5M-E has an air pump for the exhaust gases.
Not exactly what you want on a performance cart tho if you can avoid it.....

no, but it would be a sensible mod for just before the compulsary emissions test, then rip it off later (and keep it lying around in case you get defected)
