Rob Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If its permanant, how you going to get it through its MOT each year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 thats what i questioned, i wondering if they have deleted the second cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If its permanant, how you going to get it through its MOT each year? My TT BPU passes with no cats in. Comes in well under the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd personally have an exhaust control valve over a bung setup. You can't easily get in and out to swap it over. Either way, thats a SUPER cheap price mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 does seem a very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mine legally passes, which was a surprise to me, something to do with a regulation that was introduced if your car is a 95 or older and isn't in the system (import) then it can have the no cat test apparently. Don't quote me on it though it's what my MOT guy told and it went through the emissions system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 back to the cats,,, being a jap import i thought the emissions are default so shouldnt matter anyway Correct. See here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?287945-MOT-passed-and-no-Cats-needed! It was simple enough for me mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 JDM or UK Twin-Turbo Supra's have to meet cat emission levels, unlike some jap cars where a no-cat test can be performed the supra doesn't fall under this because the GTE engine was sold in this country this is why pre-may 95 NA's can get away with going by no-cat test emission levels.

Nic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 back to the cats,,, being a jap import i thought the emissions are default so shouldnt matter anyway It depends when it was first registered whether it needs a CAT test or non-CAT test. http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9263/picture1nq.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 As per my post and mine was a 1996 J-Spec. All sorted today. Got the MOT done at Plume and due to it being an import it called the initial emissions test but passed the secondary main CAT test without any CATs in! Great news for future reference for all imported Supra's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was answering the OP whose sig suggests he has an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 im currently NA-T nic, which shouldnt make any difference. i say na-t, i have a pile of goodies waiting to go to na-t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Imports only need a non CAT test as there are no UK spec RZ, GZ or SZ models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 im currently NA-T nic, which shouldnt make any difference. It's still a 2JZ-GE according to the engine code, it's that which'll determine what test it should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 seems to be conflicting info on this,, the other year it failed on emissions, because it was being tested as a uk spec GTE, i pointed out this was not right to the workshop foreman, and then it was re tested as a default car(not on database) and passed.

David P Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) We must've had this Old Wives Tale repost enough times now! The definitive answer is; All and each any and every T.T. has a "GTE" engine, which's in the database and will need at least one Cat for a straight Ticket. N/A's have a "GE" engine that's not on the list so only needs to pass the no-Cat test.
