im talking like a 60 dollar fee whenever you get an emissions test done
from here http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/p...$FILE/1119.pdfQuote:
Approved testers will be able to charge a fee, set by
EPA under the Act, for each test and inspection they
conduct. This fee is set to provide for the cost to their
business of supplying this service. It is not returned to
EPA or government.
The proposed fee is six fee units for the initial test and
inspection, and three fee units for second and
subsequent re-tests or re-inspections when taken to
the same tester should the vehicle fail the initial
inspection or test. The differential fee applies because
the tester will not have to conduct a complete check of
the vehicle, only check the defective items. The three
fee unit cost is consistent with the fee currently
charged by EPA approved noise testers for a noise
test.
A fee unit is currently valued at $10.75. Six fee units
are $71.00 including GST. Three fee units are $35.50
including GST. The Victorian Government reviews the
value of fee units annually.
The initial test and inspection is expected to take no
more than one hour based on EPA’s current operating
experience. Taking into consideration labour and
operational costs, a one-hour test equates to
approximately $70 on a cost recovery basis. This fee
level is considered to be the minimum level for cost
recovery. It is expected that businesses will leverage
this activity to provide extra services to their clients.
A comparable regulatory activity is that of a licensed
vehicle tester providing a roadworthy certificate. The
fee for this service is unregulated, but a survey has
indicated that for a standard passenger car in good
condition the fee is approximately $75 upwards.
thats vic but its similar in NSW

No, the replacement engine must be of the same age or newer, and must meet all the emission standards applicable to the vehicle's and engine's date of manufacture.
well at least now we know where that original concept came from, damn you victorians :P
