GVM downgrade


I have just purchased a nissan civilian 1998 bus. Currently the GVM is 4900kg. Does anyone know of any certifiers in Sydney that can downgrade the GVM to 4500kg. This will allow me to register as a light vehicle.

Hope someone has a recomendation as the one i contacted in Leichardt was unable to do the certification because he lacks the relevant documentation.

Your State transport authority will have a list of approved engineers that can do this.
Get the vehicle weighed first. If the current weight does not allow for a "reasonable" load, it will not be allowed to reduce the GVM to under 4.5T.
Cheers,
Peter
