Having heard many rego checks, over the radio they usually don't say what the engine is.
Generally they will do a check on ABC123... comes back as a not reported (not stolen) 94 Holden Commodore blue in colour, registered to Mr Smith, expiry 1 Sep 2008.... or something like that.
If the copper asks, then yes they can pull up all sorts of details about the car... including any intel on it ;-)

its all done through a in car computer these days though so it would have every detail about the car on the screen inside the car.

Not in NSW. Whilst most highway patrol vehicles now have in-car computers, GD's do not.

ask if greenfoam can do a detune chip, maybe that will help with getting approval to drive it.
