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.

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

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

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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
