Good luck with opening up this can of worms guys,
Not sure in other States but in NSW all mods have to be certified by a licensed certifier no longer an engineer.
And the reason they charge so much is probably 2 do with this
"As a certifier, you need to hold $20 million public liability insurance and $5 million professional indemnity insurance"
And the fact there is no set charge, its just negotiated between certifiers and their customers.

Plus they will need to hold the insurance for a minimum of 5 years after they cease certifications and the kicker is not the amount (every tradey etc has at least that amount) but the risk of the vocation. In the case of Automotive related businesses the risk that you will get involved in law suits is astronomically high to say a Fridge Tech or a PC repairer

I did but every time I post it up the fact it ends up starting an 'animated discussion' so I gave up...
But I applaud the intent of the thread and perhaps a 'cut and paste' of all links as they filter in could be either collated and added to the first post of the thread or put up as a sticky?

Wouldn't think the 20mil public liability insurance would be the deal breaker. I have it on my other business and its only $2500 p/a for it. I think it just more of a case of its a specialised thing so we charge a specialised price. Lol
Edit : What ET said.
I could cut and paste the links into state by state in the OP. I think will help scanning through threads???

From my limited understanding from the jibberish in some of these links. The ruling on 35's isn't governed on vehicle vendor. Its more so just on the size of the tyre. I found no words, so far, mentioning Nissan Patrol.

With so much 4wds out that are probably illegal this is a good thing. Well done Mudski for starting.
I thing I can't understand is why every state needs to be different. Makes not sense.
Me I don't have any attentions to be going overly modified, but I would like to be able to run at least a 35" out on the tracks. Safely and Legally.

You'll find the premium for the same $ value of cover probably varies wildly depending on the nature of the business (sama sama as Car Comprehensive Insurance)
IE a low risk business will pay waaay less than, say, a business that repos' Harleys...

I wonder how many vehicles have aftermarket turbo's that need certification
From NSW VSI6
Examples requiring certification:
• Fitting a turbocharger/supercharger to any vehicle of a make and model not offered with a turbocharger/supercharger by the manufacturer.
• Modifications to a vehicle with a power output of 100 kilowatts, which results in a power output of greater than 120 kilowatts.

I'm covered! Nissan did offer a turbo TD42 patrol, and mine puts out 119kW!
