    Thanks mate. Not sure if this will help in any way though as it is VIN specific according to that pdf. Although it may be the same across the board for GQ's. Did you just ring them up and ask for this?

    I enquired by email to their customer service department. They ask for rego number, vin and contact name and phone. They were back to me in 48hrs verbally, then i rang and requested the confirmation in writing, no problem, had it in 24 hrs - excellent customer service. regards applicability, yes probably VIN specific, but the info is readily avail.

    Well the nightmare ride is over. GVM increased to 3300kg today after a series of brake tests from 80-0 and 60 - 0 km/hr to assess brake fade. Came thru with flying colours, in part i am sure due to the brake hose upgrade from Safebrake.

    Learnings from this process.
    1) do not bother with ANY engineering certification from WA if you want it engineered in Victoria - save your money. The WA docs were 100% worthless and a waste of money.
    2) research your selected VASS engineer and go and speak with them in advance to find out what they expect and what you are prepared to comply with. One VASS engineer I was directed too was entirely 'over the top' and treated the certification process as a money spinner - launching into a whole heap of tangential issue not related to an engine or GVM upgrade - for example, what has an indicator in a bullbar got to do with the process - nothing.

    All up this whole charade, which in my eyes did not value add a single cent, nor have me change anything, cost in excess of $2300. remember, Vicroads just want the document for their records and don't charge for any upgrade advice.
