Is that really his?
What a fucken travesty if it is. I'd rock that pile in a minute.
-
im pretty sure it is, if i remember pics from the dyno meet this year his hood clear coat was faded. :(
wish i had an integra to trade
-
Hope it goes to a good home
-
Fuck those things are a dime a dozen up here.

he doesnt even say glass top in the title ???
i thought jeffs was glass top
-
It says glasstop in the description

Learn to read, then maybe you can buy ammo

Bring the clean ass b-swapped crx to the south please. I cant find them without body kits, primer, and apc steering wheels.
-

no shit? what about licensed ones?
-
I'd have one of those things licensed in MN within 20 minutes and 30 bucks, legit. It's too bad I don't have the funds right now to sit one of those next to the Shuttle.
-
So what exactly is the licensing procedure?
-
I want.
-
take title to dmv
hand over $75
????????
profit
actually here in WI you can title anything just as long as you bring in the title and pay the registration, i dont even know what an inspection is.
-
thats his forsure... its on ebay too if you wanna place some bids...
-
I hate rhd's :(
I think jeff should have kept the red one.
-
I thought it was licensed when he bought it ??? Mabey when it was time to get tabs again the DOL wouldnt let him? Sucks if that was the case.
-
Take vins from other car and register as that car. done

what about firewall stamped vins
-
yup its mine, honestly the only reason I'm selling it is because I can't fucking register it. (disreguard the post description on ebay) ;) I would totally keep it if I could get it licensed but how?. I even told the owner of our dealership I'd work a full month if he would give me a dealer plate. I looked into several different ways and everyway comes up the same. I need to get a letter of conformity from the factory stating its 50 state legal/dot/epa certified.. well we all know thats not going to happen. So I went into state patrol and starting talking to them about "Kit" cars, and told them I built this fucker from scratch, and they said sorry it doesnt work like that. I guess they had 3 people with Skylines who did that then said it was ok.. then 60 days later they caught on and yanked the plates. They said that the only Skylines in the USA that are registered were grandfathered in by a mistake, and it was like 175 cars total across the US, all the others are illegal. So yea, I love the car but shit I have like 7 cars at the house, its a little retarded. Especially since I cant even drive it. It's a shame too, it drives so damn nice. I know I'm gonna take a major loss on it, but thats life I guess. It will be the first car in my entire life I have never made money on.
Not sure what to get, maybe like a odyssey lol :?: The wife just got a CRV
-
so you have a title?
take it to a state that doesnt care, in WI you can file for a lost title if you lose it. there is no inspections no nothing. one of the states around you has to be like that.

yea I have a title its in Ching Chong Meow language, doubt that will get me far. The first thing it has to do is go through Customs.

part it out, I think you would make more. They sure are worth alot more down there then here :?:

Jeff a heads up importing of JDM cars=major no no now. 2 places here in California got their containers crushed by the EPA for having complete cars coming over
So in reality you should be able to get more than what you paid since no one is going to dare bring over complete jdm cars anymore
You cant techincally bring over jdm swaps either. They dont want transmissions on motors,no manifolds,no sensors on motors brought over. Kinda odd stuff but the EPA is involved now so the days of JDM cars are long gone.
You have Gold in your driveway

send it over to canada we can register those here (maybe you have family in canada, get them to register it on ther name and drive it in states with cndn plates?)

are you telling me I should hold off on my ebay auction?
-
You should be asking atleast what you paid for it since you cant get them anymore.
The epa raided from my count 4 importers in California 2 got in deep shit for having complete cars in their containers. The epa showed them by crushing a complete container for scrap metal.
I share a container with 2 other shops and we have stopped bringing over motors until we find out really what the epa wants and doesnt but complete cars was a a HUge NO NO if they find it the whole container will be crushed and you will be fined. No one is risking containers full of 2k+ swaps to bring over some 15+ year old Hondas.
-
sounds good, i put a reserve at 7500, if it doesnt sell I throw it in the wine celler.
-
here in canadia
those shit is like white on rice, i cant go anywhere without seeing jdm right hand drive shit
-
yup like U.I said, lots of those JDM RHD buckets running around B.C and canada for that matter without issue.
Try and find someone that can register the car up here and plate it as a BC car and drive it. You're not far from the border anyway.
unless you dont want to put that much effort into it, and in that case, sell it.
but sell it for what you paid, some JDM fan boy will pay what you have into it and prolly more.

I have a friend that MAY be able to help you out.. IM a forgettfull motherfucker, but if reminded would be more than happy to try and get ahold of him for you... Hes got an in somehow.... What year is that thing??? I know a kid locally that had one up here as well Glass top and all and it was registered.. Dont know how... So I dont want to pretend like I do but I MAY be able to steer you toward someone whom can help you out.

Take vins from other car and register as that car. done
what about firewall stamped vins
The shuttle has a gook firewall vin. I have the us dash vin stuck on the dash, and the vin sticker inside the door. Cops aren't that smart.
-
man, around here they look for that kind of shit.
-
And you swapped the firewall. Not illegal around here.

Spiker, was it a black crx with a glasstop too? If so, that car is now mine and has been registered for 9 years. No idea how though

you know that 15 year rule will soon be toast, right? importconcern shut its doors, tyee imports has the same stock for how long now, feast i havent seen much. all the faggots with skylines and 300zxs poluted the country
-
its a 1990, if anyone has any info or knows anyone who can help me register it I will definatly keep it. Spiker, let me know!
thanks
-
I think it being that new will complicate it... But I put a call ou tto him this morning.... Ill see what he has tp say as I KNOW they have a bunch of JDM RHD shit thats registered legally here.
Like I said Lil Danny had one and it was good to go. Glass top and all O0
-
If you do end up registering it in BC, you might like to know that ICBC (Insurance Company of British Colombia) will only cover the car for 30 consecutive days out of country. You'd have to drive back up across the border every 29 days or risk being dropped for coverage.
-
if insuring it here in canada and then bringing it back to the usa works, I can inspect it and make that happen for you here, I'm 2.5 hours from spokane on the boarder.

I dont want to register it in another country..
I was thinking last night I could buy a usdm crx and convert it back to LHD and I would have legit vin's.

I am going to do this to a ctr as soon as I can get my hands on one for my daughter :noel:
-
Why don't you just buy a USDM body/title and re-stamp the VIN's on the car? Granted it not the 100% legal way but then you could keep the car and even if you got pulled over you can say you transferred everything from the LHD car to a RHD. You have the papers that the motor and stuff is yours and not stolen so if you get pulled over I seriously doubt a cop is going to hassle you weather or not the shell was actually the original titled shell.
A buddy of mine actually did this to his car (and he is an actual cop)
-
yeah i think whiteys idea sounds liek it would work. just buy a titled 1990 crx andswap dash plates and say everythign else you converted if they ask.
-

ya buddy of mine is a tech at crappy tire, and he keeps telling about all the updated legislation that is coming out with regards to all the RHD shit. but like ya said, all the Skyline and shitty/beat up rusted japanese imports fucked it for everyone.
-
It sounds risky but have well known dependable person in a less strict state title it. Then you would essentially be just buying it from them since the car doesn't show up as ever being yours in the first place. Just send them the paper work, they would take it to their DMV, get a title and send the title back to you to transfer into your name. I think this is something you'd regret greatly down the road as one of those "the one you let get away". It's just a idea... Hell my car dropped it's salvage IL title when I titled it here in WI. Gotta love this state!
-
Don't sell it. Or else I'll buy it and drive it of a cliff.
-
I could probably title it here in wyoming. Some of the smaller countys here are looser than a nickle hooker. just giving you another option....
-
Is it possible to get it re-VINned with a North American VIN? I know a lot of the guys up here in Canadia re-VIN their RHD cars because the VIN is too short (11 digits vs. 17 digits). If you can get it re-VINned you might be able to register it since the VIN would be the right length and they may not ask any questions.
This might work if they don't ask to see the car itself.

Well I dont know anyone who would do that, and I would have to register it in my name, our state requires "out of state car inspections" so I would have to bring it to state patrol to get checked out, I'm sure they would figure it out. I can't drive around a car that is not in my name and from a different state. My old man got busted in Vegas for leaving his car registered in WA state.

would make more sense to get a different vin/title from a usdm crx and title/register it that way, then out of state.

So a vin swap? probably the worst idea. Its a federal offense, prison time, 250,000 fine. Then lets say I run into somebody and killed them. They investigate the car and figure out the vin plate was swapped. My insurance company wouldnt cover shit and I would be completely fucked for my entire life. Not worth it for some jdm goodness.
-
vin swap= the BEST idea :noel:
-
'00 ECU swap= the BEST idea :noel:
-
MOVE TO CANADA= the BEST idea :noel:
-
vin swap= the BEST idea :noel:
for what you doing yes vin swap unless you find a legit way.
if your goign to be stressing out everytime you take the car out becasue you think your going to get arrested and fined i say its not worth it and sell that car unless someone can hook you up with a legit title.
-
Maybe try this place
http://www.its-titles.com/ (http://www.its-titles.com/)
Jeff, I'm not saying doing a VIN swap cause I don't want to see you behind bars or scared to drive your car around. I wouldn't do it myself. I'm saying, essentially have someone from a more lenient state for titling of cars. I mean what would be the difference if you bought a registered imported RHD car from a member from another state and brought that title to your local DMV and had the title swapped to you. I mean even if you had to bring the car in. It would have the VIN and no shady VIN swapping or anything like that. It would have a legit title to your car. I know Florida has is pretty lenient, I've seen quite a few real RHD in WI. I don't think it would take that much leg work. Just more so asking around be it here or *cough..honda-tech..cough* cause the amount of RHD title cars on there. You just have to ask around and if you find out WI would work. I'd would help you out on running there and doing that. Then you send(sell) you the title back. All that I would ask would just cover the titling fees. Nothing more then just to be able to get YOUR car on the road legally.

Henry, I will give you all the info if you want to see if you can get it registered. If I can somehow get a legit title for this thing, I'll spot you 100 bucks plus all the title fees. You have PM.
I'll contact that place tommorow.
oh and ebay took my listing off because It doesnt have a title and these cars are illegal to sell. So I have to relist it stating off road use etc etc.
-
I have a friend that lived in tumwater that had a boosted rhd ctr and a rhd itr sapposidly legitly registered for a few years. I will see if i can dig up his aim or email or something and try and get some info.
Although he is very shady so it might of been kinda of illegal how he did it, il try and find out.
-
ya this nog i work with that's a dushe somehow got his r32 fagot skyline registered, paid like 2k though. and another guy with a r33 locally. idk how but i can try to see if they will give up any info, their legit and the registrations both said Nissan skyline, wish more people imported badass cars like your crx not a fucking skyline :-X although now that might not be so easy
-
Thanks guys for the help. Please PM me with any info on how to get it registered!
thanks

Funny I was thinking about this my self. I know of guys build a car from scratch and stamping the frame with there addys.
Then using their addys as vin #'s.
I remember reading somewhere you can have a title issued to from Maine for a couple hundred dollars. I wonder if that would work.
-
One way my old shop used to do it was to sell the cars as "parts cars only" Then they would "sell" the customer the parts to put it back together. They been doing it like that for 5+years, no problems to date.

On the '78-'79 Z, the car was sitting in an old lady's garage for 11yrs. other than that Dan will not know how it got here.
As for the the blue EG6 he had bought it out of NY for $9k and was already import to, titled, and licensed in NY.

Is the JDM VIN in a USDM VIN format?
-
Is the JDM VIN in a USDM VIN format?
nope, its retarded short.
mine is ef8-1005225
usdm vins are i think 8 letters/numbers longer
-
I'll have to ask some more questions, but that was the #1 problem with Goforth's R34 title. The DMV computer (in NC, likely everywhere else) expects post '81 vehicles to have a proper VIN.
