Who says there aren't facilities in QLD capable of performing this test. It is after all just a test sequence performed on a dyno with the required gas analysis equipment.

As Kyleb confirms, there is certainly no test facility for an IM240 test in QLD.
My understanding is that the onus is on the applicant to prove ADR 37/01 compliance using documentary evidence (generally that the engine is post 1990 in QLD) or failing that provide an IM240 test.

Anyway now it's up to QLD transport to Prove it doesn't and they only have the ability to do a 4 gas analysis road side and it will pass that with flying colours regardless what tune I dial into it.

Sure a 4 gas will pass no worries, but Qld Transport won't accept this as a substitute for an IM240 as far as I know.

A 1965 engine is hardly a 1965 engine when it no longer has carbs and now has electronic ignition EFI and huge CATS.
Unless I'm mistaken all modern engines are a basic derivative of engines that are donkeys old LS chevs windors clevelands all made pre 70's and are the basic engine platform right through to the early mid 2000.
The year the engine was originally manufactured has little regard for its configured and tuned state when compared to a say 1971 falcon engine versus a 2005 TS falcon with last of the 5.8 Windsor based on the same block and reciprocating assembly.

I wholeheartedly agree....however, unfortunately logic doesn't seem to be considered when complying engines.
So again sir, how did you prove emissions compliance?
