is it possible for this build to be street legal?

[Auto Budha in training]

Hi, I stumbled upon a build series by an aussie youtube channel where they are 1gz swapping an a80 supra and turbo charging it. What I don't understand about this is that the 1gz is a 5L engine and so with NCOP your car would have to have a tare weight of about 1667 kg, much higher than what the heaviest A80 weighs (1570kg kurb). ive seen other people do this swap in Aus and was wondering if there was some workaround that allows them to do it or if they just don't drive these builds on the street?

A. Done pre-NCOP.

B. or, not driven on the street.

C. or, no f**ks given, drive it on the street anyway. There are plenty of f**kwits around.

Capacity and weight would only be checked in NSW if a blue slip was required.

Wouldn't be hard to add 100kg of weight with physically larger engine and bolt ons.

And weight is checked by a ticket from a certified weighbridge, however full you drive the car onto it.

And for that matter, I don't even know how capacity is actually checked. I think it is just written on the form by the applicant.

Mostly, to a point, mine sort of is, well, except for the bits that aren't.

In the end, it's your acceptance of risk.

You gotta risk it for the biscuit
