Yet you can import JDM cars into Australia, and people do swaps all the time. So there must be something going on that allows people to do such.

Yes you can do it, But it is not easy or cheap here. Given enough time, commitment and money you can get it complied and roadworthy so you can legally drive it. Depending on state it can be easier than others... I am pretty sure NSW is one of the tougher states, since we have tougher rules and such as well... But, I cannot confirm this as I haven't had the need to search import laws  --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Over in W.A all you need is the engine being newer than the chassis than it's 100% fine cops and all wont be stickering no ones car. Or am i wrong?

O.o In Queensland it is the same, but only if it is the same engine type.... And I'm not sticking in another 5S I did speak to an uncle this evening though who owns a local Land Rover fabrication shop and he said that to get an engineer to certify it should only be a couple of hundred bucks since it is a simple swap... So I think I know what I'll be doing when I get off my P's in 18 months time
