well all i have to say from reading this thread is move out of that state... seriously, its the only state i know of (and ive lived in nearly all) that would go to the extreme of making you pull a cam out to clear a defect... absolutely ridiculous!

Any state would require you to pull out an aftermarket camshaft to meet emission levels. It is really that simple. If it doesnt comply with ADR/EPA then it is a defect and therefore not legal.

SIG 054 na iv checked and lived in other states and there is no rule not allowing Bigger Cams in cars.. it does nothing to the safety of the vehicle..

South Australia is the defect capital of Australia.. and its proven, the cops are not out there to make the roads safer as they say they are there only out there to make money and defects are a massive part of that. Thats why you cant contest a defect, Garanteed money..

and if it was for safety why defect a mate on the weekend with a VY Clubby R8 and yet a rust laden datsun is able to get off.

cams are defectable in most states reason is they wont meet emissions therefore your polluting the enviroment more than that model is supposed to. I think if you could get a cam to meet emissions it might be be legal in some states
