Here in Florida no one even cares. Me and about 15 other cars, mostly 240's were at this discrete parking lot behind this place drifting and stuff. Out of nowhere a cop pulls in and takes all of our ID's and searches our cars... We all have gutted interior and aftermarket parts, most have swaps. There were a few SR's and an rb20. He didnt do anything as far as our cars being altered. Its actually cool because he let us all go.

That really blows that you have to delete everything, you cant just get a bottom mount and some black piping/black intercooler and stealthy goods for after you take it off and get everything cleared up then reinstall?

I heart Alabama. Its really hot and humid, but I can rent out the Barber Motorsports Park.

Man I would just "pay" someone to "ref it."

Love the car though!

Sorry to thread jack but how much does this cost? I will come up there and drive with you for real... /thread jack.

well i already got my car stock, it only took me about 10 hours of labor starting yesterday afternoon and finishing today around 2:00PM

so there you have it ka-t -> n/a in about a day's work =]

I think i'm gonna stay stock for awhile, at least until I get it smogged in December then we'll see what to do from there. It sure is nice being able to drive somewhere without worrying about cops though. I'll try and get pics of my stock sexiness

[Razi]

I don't think there is anyone else who has went back and forth from stock to KA-T on the same motor as you.

[Sonikfuri]

Hey, I agree with people that were saying to try to get it thrown out. From a legal perspective the cops can (and will) bust you for something that isn't right to a T. And since your car is a Nissan 240sx, and NOT a Nissan Silvia...yea.

Call up a lawyer and ask. Him getting that wrong is just as bad as saying your car was a Honda Civic

[-RJ-]

I love living in VA. We don't even have the sniffer in my jurisdiction area. I'm running no EGR or anything. It is illegal to modify stuff here, but the cops don't care and have no clue what they are looking at.

I got 4 tickets for my exhaust =( but yeah having no emissions is great

[brizanden]

josh if ur not goin back till the winter let me borrow the jw ecu lmao

[Jadesr20det]

Are the ANY benefits to living in CA???

[slidestyle69]

dang dude, i never really think how fortunate i am to beable to hop in the car and pass a cop and not have to worry about what you guys have to worry about.

I feel for you but good luck with the ticket maybe it wont be too bad

[mrgrape]

when u put ur ka-t back in can u take pics of what ur doing? rofl

[spooled240]

josh if ur not goin back till the winter let me borrow the jw ecu lmao

you'll need the injectors and the mafs also...about 1500 bucks i've spent right there it throws a code and that's why i had to take it out..it does give it a noticeable bit of power though

Are the ANY benefits to living in CA???

idk the weather? that's all i can think of

dang dude, i never really think how fortunate i am to beable to hop in the car and pass a cop and not have to worry about what you guys have to worry about.

ya i can't imagine living in a state like that lol

when u put ur ka-t back in can u take pics of what ur doing? rofl

you mean like a "re-build" thread? lol

[DubsSuck]

come to pa we got awsome roads (just watch out for the horse and buggys) and anything under 1997 is visual only for immitions, so you can be as loud as you want, just as long as it looks leagal.

[spooled240]

is it legal to swap a sr20 in a buggy since there are no emmission regulations?

[Jadesr20det]

We have nice weather in Florida (minus hurricanes) no emissions garbage to deal with, 93 octane gas, and less pollution.....I wouldnt live in CA if you paid me

[s14derrick]

damn man that blows

paint your exhaust black . i bought mine already coated with vht flat black . gave it a few coats more and it looks as good as new. also its pretty stealthy you cant even see it till your a few feet away

[sr20power]

Yeah cali sucks when it comes to cops and cars, but I love it here!

I got pulled over and asked to pop my hood, In the end got a Ref Ticket. I went to court to fight the ticket and the cop didn't show up. ticket was dropped and fees refunded. My car is now a trailer queen.

Just don't want any more drama.

[spooled240]

yeah but i kinda think the cop woulda pulled me over anyway since my car looks like a race car...and i'm part asian so he probably thought this was tokyo drift or some s*** lol

I'm considering getting an apexi axleback exhaust just for looks since my stock muffler looks like a piece. My buddy said he'll sell is universal apex'i N1 muffler for 80 bucks I don't car about being flashy anymore cuz i'm bone stock with all the emmissions hooked up

[spooled240]

i went to a meet last night with my stock ka24de and my interfooler lolstock but still clean gay stock muffler, it's gotta goall the turbo stuff that came off

Your car still looks bad as foook!

Is your rear bumper stock? Just with the valances? or is it a jdm kouki bumper or something lol. I've always wondered this lol

[turbo2nr]

sux man but at least it didnt make you give up.. good time to go over all your turbo stuff and change/upgrade what needs to be.

btw corona ftw!

[spooled240]

^well i'm kinda over being turbo, i'm just sick of worrying about being caught by the 5-0 BUT, i may be back later

thanks man, yeah the rear bumper is the JDM rear bumper with the JDM rear valances.

[s14derrick]

so your done with turbo ??

whats going to happen to your turbo setup?

[JoseBronx]

wow cali sucks

j/k

[maj Andres]

I like that plate thingy that you used to relocate your battery. Mind giving me a link to where you got it?

Oh, and is that the stock positive battery terminal cover? Where can i get one?

[SleepyHB]

So in cali you get ticket just for not having a stock exhaust?

[spooled240]

my dad got that for me, so idk where to find that...look for "terminal blocks" though, you should find something very similar.

and yeah that red plastic thing is stock, try the dealership if you need one.

So in cali you get ticket just for not having a stock exhaust?

idk bout a ticket but they can pull you over and pop your hood for just having "modified exhaust"...it's such BS cuz a different style exhaust tip has no affect on emmissions but you get treated like you are a hardcore street racer.

[xX RB Xx]

hows that N/A KA power?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Did you keep the injectors/tune?

And yeah, how do you like the power difference?

[iLLusive240^]

that sucks dude but sweet "silvia" :P
