crackers! they go well with chocolate too :rotfl:. VRT is a complete rip off. But it is a lot less assle than ESVA testing. We can't import anything newer than 2000 while you can get '03 if you want

Yeah, & pay ?10k on top of the price of the car for VRT, VAT @21% & Duty @ 10% (if from Japan) nevermind shipping & "port handling fees"! :furious::rant::furious::rant:

& what's stopping you importing anything past 2000?

no model report, costs 4-5K for individual report but then u can rent it out ?300 a time. not worth the cost tho. Model report needed for ESVA test along with car returned to standard
:down:

Man that sucks! What kind of messed-up system is that?! So if you did a report for a 2003 car, would it apply backwards to the 01 & 02 cars?

 

[japmadlad]

not necessarily but it mite. Its very confusing. Nearly just better to pay extra (VRT) for less hassle. ( mayb not :rotfl: )

It should, as S15's are the same after the 2000 change.

Sorry for the noob question but what were the changes that came in after 2000 apart from using the older GT28 turbo instead of the GT28R?

There weren't many. Minor stuff.
