Gents, does anyone know if the Cam belts for the Aus spec STi models are the same lengths as the AVCS models from Japan? Don't want to get a timing belt kit to suit the 00 to 07 local STi if it's not going to suit the single AVCS Jap spec STi engine I have. Rather not throw money down the drain. I'd get something like this through Partsouq if I had the Vin written down from the donor car, but alas, I wasn't thinking like this when I originally got the engine put in.
Any assistance would be awesome, I do know this is a fairly specific question.
Cheers,
Ben

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

Is there any way you could search a vin from a suitable car?
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Last time I went searching for a VIN it took me days to find one. Chassis codes don't seem to be an issue to find but VINs are a little more elusive. Really should have written it down in a safer spot. My concern is that the cam gear is a larger diameter in the AVCS motors to account for the respective mechanicals, which should in theory make the belts longer to account for it.
I guess that some would consider me being after some spoon feeding, but I really don't want to spend the rest of my weekend looking for a VIN number.

I found one but won’t drop it on here. Search for a 2006 model in Vic. With several of the pics you can work around the blurring of the number plate to do a rego check 
Cam belt part number for a 2006 STi Impreza (partsouq doesn’t show the STi description bit - definitely an STi though):
13028AA240 - currently out of stock.

Theres a 2005 STi on gumtree in WA with the VIN listed. It runs a different cam belt: 13028AA200 - currently out of stock. The 240 part number above is listed as a substitute.
This one is listed as a 2L. I cant remember if the one above in the previous post was a 2L or 2.5L.
