As far as engine swaps go and the increase in capacity allowed, he said :
Vehicles weighing less than 1100kg are allowed engines in CC's =
original vehicle weight in kgs
x 2.5 (turbo/sc)
or
x 3.0 for NA motors.
So our N12 is legal in QLD with an SR20DET

He said a brake test would have to be carried out and it would pass if the systems were in good condition. I would upgrade the braking anyhow so this is a no-brainer.
Interesting, might be useful for someone here.
I still need to see and measure a CA and SR side by side and I think the CA has a cast iron block and the SR has an alloy block ? So the weight might be comparable.
I know Jon in Bris did the SR20DET swap years ago,

Don't know where it is now, it obviously physically fitted, the rest of the systems to make it driveable would be needed regardless of CA or SR.
