[ace135cc]

mmm s15, im going to convince my mom to get it, i showed it to her and she likes how it looks

[quiksilvia]

let me know how that goes....

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

you won't be able to get that car legalized at all. it is almost most likely illegally imported (if it's from the same company in WA i think it is). And, they will also screw you on paperwork. good luck rofl.

[yeswepromise]

that s15 is very clean though.

[nlzmo400r]

yea i saw the s25 earlier, very sexy, and considering it cost less than the car im driving, im kicking myeslf in the ***, of cousre u cant legalize it, but no one will hvae to know

no one will have to know? wtf yeah right. The minute you drive that thing on the streets everyone will know. And once you get pulled over the cop will notice the car is illegal, the vins aren't legal, and you won't have any paperwork to prove the car was legally imported. Then your precious 20 grand is then either shipped back to Japan or crushed in front of your eyes. Hooray!

[89240sx]

yap .. not to mention you'll get pulled over as soon as the cop sees the wheel on the opposite side of the car out of pure suspicion (sp?)

[89240sx]

oh and not to mention you wont have a liscence plate

[ace135cc]

who cares if it's legal other than the authorites!i'll show them :icesangel

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

you do realize getting caught in that car with no legal papers will get you up to 5 years in jail and $250,000 in fines?

[SmithSR]

Swift_ is your car allowed to run at local trackday events?

[revhard05]

s15 silvia droooool : p --- 0

[quiksilvia]

but the cops would have to catch you first to put u in jail...

[IowaSilvia_S13]

f_ck the po po's. hehehe...this legalization of jap. cars is retarded. they are the same damn vehicles that we have here, just wheel is on the right side. i don't see the big deal.. it is beginning to piss me off. has anyone done a complete jap conversion on a 240sx yet? with the wheel on the right side? what do the cops say then. do u get pulled over quite often. I got pulled over with absolutely no paper work in my silvia on mothers day and the state trooper was more interested in the car than the reason why he pulled me over (64in 55). He just wrote me a warning for no registration and said, wow, thats a car i've never seen before. but for real, so i buy a 240sx and take every damn part on my silvia and put it on the 240sx. or take the all the stickers and vin#'s off the the 240 and post them exactly where they are on the 240 to the silvia. they say something about everything being jap spec in the engine bay? i hacked the front clip off the silvia and welded it to the back half of the 240. wtf. cops here don't know. i could see if i was in cali.

[quiksilvia]

cali is the worst for any car fun, but we're the epicenter for all car fun, so im not sure how that worked out...

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

Swift_ is your car allowed to run at local trackday events?

Yep, mine is fully off-road/race legal only.

but the cops would have to catch you first to put u in jail...

I agree with this statement, but you either have to be paranoid about driving the car (not fun), or put another 20k into the car so you can totally smoke any cop that attempts to chase you (fun, but just as illegal as driving the car in the first place).

IowaS13, I really can't wait for you to get ****ed over by the cops soon. Yeah, great you've been lucky once...I just totally cannot comprehend why you are dumping cash into a car with no paperwork (cept maybe a bill of sale?) AND flaunting it to everyone!

they are the same damn vehicles that we have here, just wheel is on the right side. i don't see the big deal..

So, then why didn't you just buy a 240 and convert it? Because that would be fully LEGAL and you could drive it everyday with no hassle. Cuz, like you said it's the "same damn" car.

[IowaSilvia_S13]

Um. I have paper work. Title, de-registration, and bill of sale.

Flaunting it to everyone? don't make sense swift. Do u have a jdm 180? All u can do is take it to race events? Why would you say that u can't wait for a cop to f_ck me over. Aren't we both in the same boat?

My reason for not buying a 240 and doing a complete conv. is very simple. For me to find a decent 240 around here with no rust is near impossible. Getting a front clip here and all the front end body parts is tuff as hell plus expensive. Then you need the interior parts, dash etc. Then the lsd, and numerous other things such as the emblems. This could add up to over 10g's plus all of the hassle and work putting into it. Sorry but I personally don't own a garage with a lift and i also work 50+ hours a week. So makes more sense to buy the real thing for way less. And at that time I had no idea that it would be so hard to register it. So now i have this wonderful car here that you think is dumb for me to put money into.. why did you buy your car. maybe i should have kept my civic si and be like the rest of the ricers. My question to you is why can't is buy a chitty 240 and take all the vin's and stickers etc. off of it and post them on my silvia. Cars aren't inspected here and if i get pulled over, i'll give them registration for a 240 and say i did a japanese conversion. I'll take the 240 and sell it for parts. Are you mad i would be breaking the law and getting away with it. What makes it so illegal to drive this vehicle in the states. my mailman has a subby rhd. my landlord has a 79 chevy pickup with a bb 400 no cat and straitpipes. 1. he would never pass visual inspection 2. it is way too loud 3. it don't have the original motor in it. the ppl at my courthouse were absolutely no help to me what-so-ever in letting me know how to legalize it, so i must improvise and work around the legal system here. Don't f_ckin tell me you've never done anything illegal before or worked around a bump in your life. Cuz we've all done it. If you want to be the squirrel then so be it. I'll be damned if I can't drive my car that I bought with my hard earned cash.

[SmithSR]

IowaSilvia, that's a poor argument to use. There are a set of rules which we must abide by. You should have made it your business to find out every detail about importing the car before you bought it. Maybe you think it's unfair that you bought and shipped a car that cannot be legally driven here. What do you do when you see a "reduced speed ahead" sign? Cry foul? and say to hell with this law? don't all laws apply? or just the ones you wish to abide by? Nobody is perfect, myself included, so there goes your "don't you ever speed?" retort. The idea is to live within the rules that have been put in place by those that we elect to do so. If you didn't vote, well then you have no argument.

Also, and I'm not trying to offend you here...but to say that it would be "too expensive" to buy another car and swap all parts is telling us that you jumped the gun, bought the car, and didn't realize that there is no legal way to operate it on the roads, and are now reduced to swapping VINs, or just driving it and saying to hell with it.

This was never a cheap hobby...who convinced you otherwise??

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

No there is a big difference. I bought my car knowing it most likely could NOT be legalized. I was not suprised when it could not be. Oh well life goes on. So I am choosing to not drive it on the streets and risk it getting taken away from me. I totally understand the logic you are using and you make very valid points. I just don't want to be paranoid about driving a rare (in the US) and illegal car around on a regular basis on the streets, like you are doing. You are very one-sided and contradictive in your thought processes however. You say finding a rust-free 240 is near impossible where you live, yet you ship a Silvia from Cali...why couldn't you ship a 240 from Cali or somewhere else? Also you say getting parts is hard, but you just ordered $2500 worth of engine parts (heavy items from a shipping standpoint) from NY?! You had no idea the Silvia would be hard to register because you probably did little to no research about importing cars and the rules in the first place. I bet you were so caught up in the moment of "omfg I own a JDM CAR!" Why can't you just swap vins? Because it is very illegal! Yes I have done illegal things in my life, but not frauding the government (which is what you are doing when you claim your car is just RHD "converted"). Yes you are lucky in the fact you don't have car inspections, but everytime you get pulled over you are risking losing your car. There are 2 choices for a cop when he asks why you are on the right side. Either to believe your "conversion" story is true, or check the car. The firewall VIN will not match the US plates...are you going to weld in the top half of a US firewall so all the vin's match? You won't be damned for driving your illegal car, you'll be in jail. I have taken the necessary and legal steps to prevent this, which also means I don't have to be paranoid about losing my car. It just basically boils down to our personal morals and values. It is apparently clear yours and mine are different. Have a nice day.

[AZhitman]

:rolleyes

It'd make sense if he was talking about a superexotic car that was really fast, and everyone noticed. But it's just another wedge-shaped economy car.

BTW, if you think the placement of the steering wheel is the only difference between the cars, you're worse off than we thought.

I'd be interested to see what happens (hope it doesn't BTW) if you were in an accident... Tampering with a VIN is not only hard to do, but it's a federal offense. False registration, falsification of info to obtain insurance... Big risks.

At the very least, you can't get the car insured, so if you wreck it, there goes all your $$$. For what? A 12-year old economy car...

BTW - The truck and the Subaru you mentioned are both 100% legal. Engine swaps are OK, and rhd is legal as well. I drove an imported (legally) RHD 240Z back in college.

[toki]

How much would it cost to legalize such a car now Hitman? Or did you not do the legaliztion yourself / dont know anymore.

[4felix20]

i like those seats in the s15...

[nissanrcer240]

you won't be able to get that car legalized at all. it is almost most likely illegally imported (if it's from the same company in WA i think it is). And, they will also screw you on paperwork. good luck rofl.

so theres no way to import that car from japan and make it legal to drive here, thats what you saying?

[toki]

illegally imported car, ie. customs is in the dark = siezed and sent back to the poor japanese guy they stole it from.

You can import them legally and legalize them just fine, just not 2 years or newer. So a 2000 would be fine. http://www.motorex.com have fun.

[AZhitman]

No need to modify or "legalize". Cars before a certain year are exempt.

[toki]

Ahhh yes. I just remembered. I just got a new reason to start thinking about a Z project again. RHD. Old. No emmisions required.....could get verrryyy interesting.

[LaureltheQueen]

I'm sensing some hostility...

[AZhitman]

Ahhh yes. I just remembered. I just got a new reason to start thinking about a Z project again. RHD. Old. No emmisions required.....could get verrryyy interesting.

NOW you're thinking!

Hi Laurel! Love ya!!! :wavey
