pleaidestar Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well i don't know if your trying to be funny but....Vehicle Identification Number= vin#..located on top of the das close to the window on whichever side the steering wheel is. Or there is an information plaque on one of the front strut towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have question or two, First question is can anyone tell me the the difference in e-tune model to other models?? I have searched everywhere with no soild info Hello, E-Tune = Economy Tune -E-Tune models comes in different Revisions A-C and Revision D. If you look inside your engine bay try to find a plate, it should say BH5C etc. That would refer to Rev C type/model. In between the years the revisions changed and along with that some body parts (Especially the Hood/bonnet), suspension and maybe the ECU and turbos? Rev A-C 2000-2001, Rev D is 2001-2003 or 2004? I hope this helped. If any members have more to add please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helped. If any members have more to add please do so. This is the breakdown of Japanese types/model breaks/"revisions": 1998 = A type 1999 = B type 2000 until June 2001 = C type June 2001-2002 = D type There was also a 2003 Blitzen which was also D type BE or BH, but the rest of the 2003 models were A-type BP/BL chassis. D type was a major refresh for the model line which consisted of, among other things, a Front end facelift and many significant engine and transmission changes. Most of the suspension was unchanged between the types other than the options available and some bracing. There were some minor changes between the other types as well, but the C to D transition was by far the most significant. As for this E-tune, is there a Bilstein logo below the GT on the liftgate? If so, then you have a GT-B E-tune.. B is for Bilstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I know for sure that I have a Type D, didn't know subaru changed so much on it tho, as for Bilstein part not to sure if badge was taken off or what! ! I have fully adjustable Tein coilovers so I'm not to bothered if I dont have Bilstein suspension. Great info again tho thanks !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterDerp Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Anyone have a stock parts list for this Car, It is hard to get the correct parts in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattgtbetune Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks best info I have got so far, the economy bit is funny tho because she is very thirsty I've added a picture Lovely car Connor. I'm the owner of the same model, it's sinced been single turbo'd and had extensive work done I know these cars very well now and can tell you that the colour that we have is the rare copper mica. Prodrive took a very limited number of the etune 2's off the line pre paint and painted them in this colour. I'm in the UK and know that only a handful made it here. Looking at yours, you also have the optional extra lip on the front which are very sort after now and its hard to tell but it looks like the hipposleek rear spoiler. Thought i'd shed some more light on your car if you still had questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I am the owner of the same model GT-B e-tune but somehow I don't have a vin number. It's not visible on the plate under the hood.

I was told its jdm model[ATTACH]237779[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk VIN number should be in front window passenger side. If it's JDM won't have rear fog light, will most likely have folding mirrors, Japanese sticker at the top of the windscreen and Japanese writing on the sun visors. A few obvious signs of a JDM model I believe. I'm guessing it would show on some documentation, if it's present, that it's been imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yes it has Japanese writing all over. Even on my fuse box in the hood. But no vin number on the window either. Thanks guys Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkrenicki Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It has the VIN stamped to the firewall, kind of on the drivers side up behind the engine or intercooler. It also should be on a plate on the passenger side strut tower under the hood. I have seen two 3rd gen Japanese cars in person, and neither one had a VIN plate on the dash. You mentioned that the plate does not have a VIN... Keep in mind that Japanese VINs are different from other countries. It would be something like BH5-010000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
