The biggest problem with the RTA in NSW is that every one of the employees interprets the laws differently - so if you go to another RTA you will more than likely have success...
either they changed the laws or you got shafted...
if you had a look at the link i posted, they're obviously the new laws... like i said, i did an engine conversion 2 years ago and had no problems.
@senna ill give it a go, i doubt the mechanic will hand over the blue slip though, if he does ill just head on over to the rta counter, kiss ass to the old lady behind that counter and pray she likes me, haha !

Obviously? How can it obviously be the new law when that article was published in April 2005 and last revised November 2007? And both you and I registered our engines after this date.
In melb when I hand back a b swapped civic to a customer, I tell them to let vicroads know the the b series is a factory option in japan. I have not had a customer come back so far telling me they need a vass engineers certificate. I recommemd giving this a try if all else fails
thanks for the help guys, ill give it a crack, if all else fails, looks like its an engineers cert after all. will keep you posted.
sorry for the misunderstanding dorikin.
I had a Eunos 30X had a 1.8L in it I put a 2.5L in it went to blue slip got engine number changed and took it to RTA no dramas I think you should just go to a Blue slip place and get the numbers changed over if you are in Sydney I have a mate that does Blue Slips that I can hook you up with his pretty easy going and wont really look at your car just your receipts and check the numbers thats it then head to the RTA and you are done
Hope this helps
the Blue Slip guy is located in Campbelltown just send me a PM and ill shoot you back his details
