Anyone know about the loophole that has now been closed for post 97 Jap import cars ?

 

All i know is Supra TT and GTR Skylines (amongst others) will not pass the mot or SVA any longer - is this correct ?

 

If so what about other cars - specifically TT or N/A ZX's etc?

 

I mean, if i want to import a car (say a 200sx) thats post 97 - will i get away with it, or not? Im hearing lots of rumours about taking the cars back to standard for the SVA etc

Its all to do with having a vehicle report i.e. crash tests etc At the moment there are a number of cars of which there is no report available such as the GTR34 If you wanted to import a Supra then shouldn`t be a problem apart from the emissions which would have to meet new car levels. There was some sort of loophole to do with kitting the cars out as disabled and thats what has been closed.

Probably alot more to it but i think thats the basics.
