For a Falcon ute that needs re compliance would small rust holes in the bottom of the front guards and behind the rear wheels matter?

Will depend on the inspector a bit but if it just has small holes in the exterior panels, probably not

2.2 (36) in here covers the requirements

Basically if it's a known brand with a separate press in pin, then they are usually ok

Is there a minimum requirement for clearance between the inside of a wheel rim and the brake calipers? Tried the stock wheels on the VL tonight and there's only a mm or two between them. Slightly concerned the Royale wheels may be a different design internally to the Calais wheels which clear 290mm brakes

Mine are really close, same sort of clearance 1-2mm. IIRC I tickled the corner edge of the caliper with a grinder so they wouldn't rub.

There isn't a minimum amount of clearance, just can't ever touch.

Surprising sometimes how much flex/ movement / growth there is under hard use on some vehicles. I did a cortina once that had enough disc- caliper clearance when cold but after a few hard stops the brake disc grew enough to rub the inside of the caliper

If it's standard then should be pretty straight forward 

You could try doing the brake test and see how that goes before you take it for cert- 3x 100 to 0 stops, 4.4 sec max,- in a total of 2 minutes. 

I wouldn't think it needs driveshaft loops either if it's just a larger engine that isn't turbo or supercharged

I was under that impression too but Steve Rhodes said it's a good idea to put them on as the new engine is straining the driveshaft more.

The brakes will be good for it no doubt.  

2jz passed no stress.
