Default engineering your car

A mate in lismore has a supercharged bomodore ute. It is fairly trick, vortech blower, 18's and on the ground. He got pulled up a while ago and they went over his car giving him a heap of fines, taking his car off the road and telling him that he would have to take it to victoria to get it engineered. Costing around $1800. I've heard that you can only get the emissions test's done down there but really was'nt sure.
For those of us that do have heavily modified cars in the far north nsw area, can we get it checked up here, what sort of money, or is it time to paint that intercooler black and lay low.
Your input will be appreciated. cheers

Find an engineer that will accept the test that the RTA does for free. Should cost you $400 all up for the engineers cert if the car passes the test.

Dont come down to Vic, its harder here. I had booked an RTA test at penrith RTA and into an engineer in NSW to get my car legal. I live in Vic. Its much easier in NSW.

I find it odd that if its registered in NSW theyd be telling him to go to another state?
