Mate, I got told extractors on an otherwise stock RB30E wasn't P-plate legal... And fined. So I'm going to say no.

You'd get reemed as an engine conversion is definately owning a modified vehicle for more power. You'd need engineers certs too, plus you'd be over power to weight. You'd get raped because everyone has 5 people in a gemini on stockies with no springs and youll get pulled over.

yea u cant. p platers cant drive cars that have had engine transplants or modified 2 an extent... a mate at work bought a lowlux with a vp v6 in it for his son to drive on his p's. had to sell it ... look up on vicroads... prob give you info on there... this was nsw though so vic might be bit easier extractors, well sounds like you got the wrong cop matt...
