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.

[bigdaddyvtec]

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

are you telling me I should hold off on my ebay auction?

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.

[bigdaddyvtec]

man, around here they look for that kind of shit.

[Stealthmode]

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

[AbaZ]

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

[bigdaddyvtec]

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   

[superdaveosbourne]

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.

[highroller54]

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 

[Whitey]

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)

[jeffsciv23]

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!

[BangBusMaster]

Don't sell it. Or else I'll buy it and drive it of a cliff.

[Hotrodlincoln]

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....

[superdaveosbourne]

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.

[98redcavz24]

vin swap= the BEST idea 

[Joseph Davis]

'00 ECU swap= the BEST idea 

[highroller54]

MOVE TO CANADA= the BEST idea 

[salesmonkey]

vin swap= the BEST idea 

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. 

[Henry]

Maybe try this place
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

[AbaZ]

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.

[hatchboy]

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.
