So for those who know me knew for the longest time I was trying to get a r34. Well stuff is changing for me. I am finally going to get one, but need to sell this to be able to get the r34. This car is 50 state legal. I have title in hand. Titled as Nissan Silvia with the jdm 10 digit vin. Will get a copy of title up later on. I will be selling the s15 as a rolling shell for 12k or for 15k I will have position 1 finish the chasis stitch weld and full cage with gussets(7k value alone but I already paid for it). The cage will be identical to Intec Racing s13.5 The following pics are what the car currenty looks like. If you bought a body kit and a s15 front clip you would be set. The car still has full chasis harness.

The Interior of the car is missing everything but the following:
Dash, door panels, seat belts, headliner, back half interior panels.

The Exterior of the car is missing the following:
Hood, fender, front bumper, side skirts ( it does have brand new headlights)

This is what the car looks like now..

Just for a shell? Damn!
Not trying to be negative or anything but that seems pricey for just a shell.

Ahh whatever, what do I know ehhh gl on sale

[chad_everson]

Its a lil bit pricey, but for about 8k more you can have a daily driven legal s15 or very close to a amazing track car..

Chad

[Edgar]

Yea, but the price for just a chassis is ridiculous IMO.
You can buy a sweet track car for that price and still have some left over.

[StaticX27]

Yea, but you can't have a street legal S15 for that price, especially if you're in California like some of us. I'd say his asking price is pretty reasonable, especially considering how many FD's I've seen go for 10k, just for a shell.

[xpl2007]

Yeah i would like to know how its street legal? Vin swap= Federal crime..
lol
Unless you get lucky like i have i dont see how...

[chad_everson]

It does not have a vin swap. like I said in the origonal post I have oregon title in hand. Its registered as a silvia with the JDM 10 digit vin.

Chad

[NissanOwnsU]

i love the price, if you were in md we would be talking...

[chad_everson]

Yea, but the price for just a chassis is ridiculous IMO.
You can buy a sweet track car for that price and still have some left over.


And its not just for a chassis. If you went to a shop that builds the quality of cage that is going into this car and ask them to do that along with a full chasis stitch weld you would be looking at close to 8k right there.. Custom chromoly cage like this and stitch weld are very expensive.

Chad

[Z33dori]

what happend to the motor

[RUTH'LESSDET]

I guess your not doing that ls7 motor swap again??? What a waste of a perfectly fine s15....lol...glws

[chad_everson]

I sold the motor

Ruthlessdet Yes I am doing the ls7 swap still just into a different chasis.. Unless I cannot sell this.. If i get the r34 before I sell this than I will just be keeping the s15 and finishing the build..

Chad

[S13Zilvia_fan]

You say you sold the motor, but what happened to all the electronics (ECU, harness' etc) and all the accessories that werent with the motor, like the stuff thats left behind when you remove the engine

[THEMkris]

just buy the shell and buy the s15 swap thats also on here and you have an s15 for about 17000!

[heyitzalan]

very expensive shell lol

[Jaketenpointo]

Very sick shell. GLWS

[chad_everson]

I still have all of that and it come with the car

[chad_everson]

very expensive shell lol


yes but it also comes with a custom chromoly cage and full chassis stich weld. Price that out.. Comes to about 8k right there..

Chad

[SimpleS14]

So all the wiring for accessories, etc. is gone?

In its current state...I can't see how it would be difficult to legalize it for off-road use. Definitely looks like something I'd use for the track and not the street.

Good luck with the sale and future project(s)

[fromxtor]

While I think this is a bit pricey for a shell, you guys really need to read.

Cliff Notes:
For the price your getting:
S15 rolling chassis
Headlights
full roll cage
wiring harness
dash
door panels
rear interior trim
headliner
seat belts

[S13Zilvia_fan]

and lets not forget its legalized

[chad_everson]

Thanks also you dont have to worry about legalizing it at all. It is already done. This is a Legal S15

Chad

[chad_everson]

and lets not forget its legalized

I guess you were writing your message while I was writing mine.
But yes it is registered and legal already..


Thanks

[fromxtor]

That would be neither here nor there for me, as an S15 for me would be a dedicated tack car anyway.

[chad_everson]

well than this would be something that would fit you perfectly than..


Chad

[!Zar!]

I've seen running s15's in great shape sell for the price you're asking.

But whatever floats your boat.

[chad_everson]

have those been legal s15s? And if so than you should have grabbed them up. I have sold running legal s15's for mid 30's... The cheapest I have seen s15s sell for was about 18k and those where Non-Legal ones..

Chad

[flawless]

just buy the shell and buy the s15 swap thats also on here and you have an s15 for about 17000!

Did a search and could not find a S15 swap on this site, can you lead me in the right direction please...

[projectdrifter]

its a decent price considering ur getting a fully welded up chassis and a built to spec cage. i have seen legal s15 go for 30k. so it may seem a little steep but it is a legit car that when re assembled would be a street legal s15 which is a dream of allot of s chassis owners. glws man. wish i had the loot.

[RUTH'LESSDET]

I sold the motor

Ruthlessdet Yes I am doing the ls7 swap still just into a different chasis.. Unless I cannot sell this.. If i get the r34 before I sell this than I will just be keeping the s15 and finishing the build..

Ok I C gl.........................msg length

[Edgar]

I wasn't being a dick, was expressing my opinion, goodluck on the sale and free bump.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Why do you state 12 or 15k?

[flawless]

never mind I found it...thanks

[slideways2004]

Why do you state 12 or 15k?

yeah, wondering the same thing.

[coldfire07]

Why do you state 12 or 15k?

It's in the first fucking post for god's sake.

[pr0ject TRUENO]

Why do you state 12 or 15k?

perhaps if his sentence structure was a bit better we could all understand. i thought that too until i read it carefully. :love:

for future reference:
I will be selling the s15 as a rolling shell for 12k OR

for 15k I will have position 1 finish the chasis stitch weld and full cage with gussets(7k value alone but I already paid for it).

[Paul2x]

Bump for a good guy and a good deal.

The guys are right, 35K at least for a legit legal S15....not some of that other crap floating around

Just for the record, last legit 15 brought into town sold for 43K.


GL Chad

:rawk:

[xpl2007]

Good deal if its registered..
Just hate to see it molested...lol
B U M P!

I wasnt thinking you were being a dick. I know everyone is just expressing their opinions on it. If it is a good opinion or bad one its their right and it doesnt bother me.

i'd hate having a full cage in a DD.. if it was a track car strictly would be different story, but even in that sense, you wouldnt have to be concerned with it being street legal. GLWS nice chassis

[chad_everson]

you can buy it without the cage. It was in the middle of being built. There is no stitch weld or cage even started yet. IF you wanted just the chasis without the cage/weld it would be 12k with that stuff would sell it for 15k

Chad

[chad_everson]

the car is REGISTERED AND LEGAL.. i keep geting asked that.. I hate title in hand. The cage and stitch weld has not been started yet. But can be for the higher price...

Chad

[RR777]

more details on the legalization would help. just saying its legal and registered doesnt really cut it. unless theres some new loophole or something its a little hard to believe. theres a lot of stuff like this out there that looks legal on paper when in all reality its not legitimate. (not accusing you of anything, by any means)

unless people are finally able to register imports as kit cars or something of the like...i pretty much gave up on this since from my findings its just not possible to do(yet they are out there), and no sellers i have worked with have been able to back the titles up with anything. and years back with motorex, even with those sky high prices, a lot of those cars were NOT legit!! (yet as far as i know they are all still out there) ...which is why i question. i personally am not in the market for anything like this now so if the seller and possible buyers are comfortable thats all that matters.


either way with what this is you cant really question the price. if you find a cheaper s15, well go buy it and quite whining.

[chad_everson]

What other detials on the legalization would you like to see? Not being a dick, but just because your research or people that helped you doesnt mean that it is not possible.. I have daily driven this car for over 2 years now. Unfortunately have had a few tickets and actually had it impounded for drifting in an Industrial Park..

-Chad

[RR777]

im not interested in it so i dont care or need to see all the documentation myself, which if you have as well you should thats great and the buyers can feel good about it. im just wondering what was done to title it.
legalazation of course isnt the complicated part in almost any case BUT the snag is the DOT crash tests which unless done recently on the late model silvias im not sure how this is working. however dumb it may be its a pretty big deal. to my knowledge it has only ever been done on the 95-98 skylines.
as far as i know without that not only can it not be titled, at least as a normal car would, but it will not get through customs (if they know whats going on) assuming its meant to be a street car. that part you can get around im sure by giving the impression its a trck, show car whatever.
but case in point in a lot of cases parts of the process can skip through the cracks, same with titleing because well, a lot of people are clueless and its not a huge thing or neccisarily a problem in any way so its not really an issue they are even aware of in most cases. and i have yet to see any of this enforced. so however if there is a title, however that may be, i would still fell comfortable owning it.

but of course its possible. i saw a street legal s15 in person in new mexico a couple years ago. i didnt talk to the owner but i know they are out there. the thing is from a 100% honest, legal, by the book standpoint it is straight up impossible. that is unless someone has gone throught the expense and hassle to get these things throught DOT testing. which would be just fan-fuckin-tastic, but thats basically why motorex cars cost so much that is not a cheap or easy task.

but like i said if you got a title, however, im sure its 100% fine because even a couple of the motorex skylines survive out here besides the LEGAL legal r33s. this stuff isnt enforced enough so i wouldnt worry, as a buyer or owner.

im not trying to be down on this at all, its awesome more and more stuff like this is out there! these issues are just stuff people in the market for this type of thing need to be aware of as i see it.

[chad_everson]

There is also crash test data for 88 silvia's as well..

As far as cracks in the system and loopholes go and to legalize as track/show cars, you do not get registrations for them. You get permits that you have to check in with the DOL with. To do that you also have to get a government bond to do that. So when the permit is up you have to show proff of exportation or demolition of the vehicle. You have to get a DOT bond as well for what I do. Which we have.. There is a lot of miss information out there.. A lot of people read one thing on the net or news and think its how it is. I am in a hurry here at work and wanted to make a fast response. I hope it all makes sense. Thanks for looking out.

[240sxdrifterS14]

How much does it cost to get a running S15 legalized? What about an R32?
