Got application to modify vehicle from department of infrastructure (dept of transport or licensing centre) and fill in form. Download the vsb (vehicle standards bulletin) so you know what to comply with.
Get engineer that Bmgtz might use that knows what is needed.
Get application approved before you start.

Ok bmgtz is the one who did the engine swap,
Does that mean I was supposed to get the application approved before the 4g63 was put in or can I still do it?

Just pretend it's not in there yet.
Or pretend you don't know what it is. Is only if you get a yellow sticker that you will get caught out.
Don't drive like a dick and keep out of town on thurs and sat nights and you be fine

I really don't get this, wouldn't the 4g63 be classed as a manufacturers optional engine?
It's for the same model vehicle?
