Boxhead,

I dont think anyone can really answer what ADR's you need to comply with in NSW anymore. He really needs to speak to an engineer. If he is in Sydney and needs an engineer, PM me and il give you the details for the one i am using after speaking to 5 different engineers that said no.

I have a meeting with my engineer booked for next week, but based on a short phone call, i will need chassis torsion and beaming, seat belt anchor testing, brake testing, noise testing and emmissions testing. It doesnt seem that the actual requirements have changed, just that the RTA are now asking the engineer to show evidence of how they verified the car complied. eg test results, calculations, finite elements etc. I think that this is what has put off a lot of engineers as it takes time to produce the evidence and they cant charge the amount they need to, to make a quid. I have been told to budget 5-10k. Previously others have told me they paid 2.5-3k.
