http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati.../vsi/vsi06.pdf (http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi06.pdf) hey guys i found this link. it has some decent info on it. if you have any other links which detail modifying cars please post them up. or even copy's of the code of practice,take photos or scan them and post them up. i am going to try and piece together a complete guide of what is and what isnt legal. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wheel can be any size ya want 13 to 22 inch, as long as the width isnt 2 inch bigger then standard and the offset isnt 1 inch either way wheels also have to travel in the same line as standard seat belts are ok use high tensile bolts. brakes have to be bigger or better then vt brakes blow off valve and wastegate has to be plumbed back guages on bonnet are ok not sure about chrome cups blow a balloon up to the dimeter of 165 cm, opke that around the interior,if the balloon doesnt touch your guages they are ok and guages cannot be in line of view noise has to be under 90db ride height no lower then 100mm on LOWEST point of car intercooler is ok pod filter is ok but has to be mounted or tied down or screwed down lockdiff or mimidspools are not ok battery in boot is ok BUT had to be either: vented or sealed unit, e.g no screw things on the top surge tank not sure of fuel cell in boot is ok not sure about MPH speedo these are the things i went and asked about

Intercoolers are also defectable in NSW. I got a warning Friday night. As it wasn't HOLDEN optional & increases engine performance.
