From the application form

A family type vehicle does not include

sports cars (eg a two door coupe) or the sports oriented

variant of a specific model range.

Sounds like a gtst wouldn't be approved given that there are non turbo models in the range, and WRX and Mazda 6 MPS are both not approved.

lol i would rather suck a dick than drive a VL

I thought these two activities went hand in hand and weren't mutually exclusive?

Also, buy my ceffy kent. RB20 turbo 4 door sedan.

R32 GTS-T 4 door is better then that N/A R33 GTS you want.

yeah i reckon i should go for a R32 gtst taxi..

dumped + tuff fitment = :(

dont really like ceffies.. their ugly as f**k

Did you read the next line?

I'd be surprised if they class a GTS-t 4-door as a "family" model as opposed to a "sports performance" model in all honesty.

Given the amount of media surrounding imports compounding the situation you'll find that you can apply for the exemption (you HAVE to fill the form out), and it will then be rejected.

Happy to see it go the other way of course but i cannot realistically see that occuring.

i think you hit nail on the head. A R32 GTST japan import would be classified as a sports car, where as a VL commodore is not known for it's handling and cornering ability, and comes under no special classification at all, it's a commondore sedan that just happins to have a long stroke RB under the bonnet :(

i hate to use this common forrum acronym but VL FTW

It's what happens when a bunch of chavs try to make a japan style drift hack. Its cool if you're a japanese kid ona $500 budget, but that car's in the UK isn't it? Leave the Euro wheels on the Euro.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
