she's lined up for a roadworthy on friday. i managed to find someone who'd overlook my locker and certain minor things, but does anyone know if i NEED a mod plate before i can get rego for a sprinter with a 4age?

I'm pretty sure you don't need a mod plate for a 4AGE into an AE86 because the engine capacity hasn't changed, the engine block is still the same (just has a different head and whatnot) and the engine was actually released in the AE86 chassis.

I've seen people do the swap and then just take the car into QLD Transport and report that the engine number has changed because they swapped engines due to the old one exploding and shit lol. :lol:

A guy I know did this and it all seems legit, QLD Transport gave him a slip of paper to say that the engine swap was verified and is OK.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me

[Blood Child]

if you're wrong i'll let you know on friday lol

:lol: I got mine road worthied last week fine with the 4AGE in it, that was after the previous owner supplied me with the slip of paper from QLD Transport saying the engine

conversion was verified. Afterall it still is a part of the '4A' engine series.

well, i failed my rwc today. i'm just glad it was for things i didn't know were wrong. distributor seal leaking oil onto my heat tape on extractors make a nice bit of smoke, rear axle seals, rack end boots, and some control arm or something.

$500ish and most of a week should get me a rwc (i just left it with my mechanic after it was failed) and he's also getting the engine mod plated just to be sure.

oh that sucks :blink: I guess getting it mod plated is the best thing to do anyway. good luck with it all, hope it gets on the road soon!

mod plates are looking at being about$110 for mine.

finally i've bit the bullet and forked out for some personalised plates (before they jack up the price again).
i have a theory regarding number plate backgrounds being directly related to po-po attention. if the plates get here in time, i should have ample opportunity to test my theory, as i'll be on the sunny coast all next week.

[obey wan boenny]

please share this theory?

LOL,

I remeber when I guy I know owned this car. He's the one who painted it black. Fried the clutch in a paddock getting it muddy as fuck.
