Is it true that an experimental aircraft can not be instrument certified by
the FAA?

since the australian rules are a transplant of the american an aussie
answer may be valid.

experimental amateur built aircraft are by default signed off for day
vfr.
IFR requirements are another set of regulations.
If the aircraft meets the requirements of those regulations then the
signoff can be amended to incorporate the necessary endorsements for
IFR.

havent seen ifr in person but I have mediated for an experimental
Thorp T18 being endorsed for night vfr in this country. was easy.
