should i buy it?

[buku_points]

ok im selling my s13 to buy a jdm 98 s14, has full interior,re-painted 350z silver all suspension parts ect(coil-overs,tie rods tension rods ruca blah blah blah)has alot of arc parts, power fc with commander,ummm its 13k registered . is this car really worth it?

[trsilvias13]

if you get caught.... they might take it away, that if the cop is really butt-hurt about it.

but it is really up to you. jdm s14 rare find especially register.

[TipStylez]

ive seen a jdm K's s14 go for twice as much as the price your getting now.

I wouldnt risk it, jdm is just a bling factor.

[S13SilviaGirl]

it might be registered now (dont see how though) and look to the future, do you have the resources and the people in the know to keep it registered?

[drift freaq]

I would not do it. Like S13silviagirl said you have to consider all the hassles your going to go through to keep it registered. Plus why by a rhd drive car that you can get the LHD version of here already. Ya you be bling with it. Pratical? No, there is a big blind spot on our roads for RHD drive cars,due to the fact that our roads are designed for LHD drive. I would say its a waste of time and money. Its not a Skyline GTR. Its not an old school 70's Skyline. Its a fricken 98 S14.

[TipStylez]

^I was just about to say the same thing.

If your gonna import somthing with the jdm tag on it...get somthing that you dont see alot. Skylines to me are already boring and overrated, if you import a toyota chaser then you would be cool.

[Irukandji]

Not worth it. Just get a USDM s14 and swap in an SR.

[SochBAT]

Don't do it Guy.

It'll get taken away quick status.

[aNskY]

everyone talking about the legality - it probably just has a USDM vin swap.


then again - you are in cali.

[punxva]

if u want to be jdm like that, then just buy the usdm, and swap from lhd to rhd since that all ur really doing with that, like everybody else said get a jdm car :)

[VROOOM]

even if it is registered here , it still has an engine that would never pass smog.

[TipStylez]

SUCKS TO BE IN CALI. hahaha (points finger at cali heads)

[sepulchral]

go ahead and take a 13,000$ gamble, its a probable 70% chance you'll get away with it..

[buku_points]

the reason why im goin gto buy it is 1. my cousin is selling it to me.2. hes had it since 2000, registereed it in arizona and then got it registered in cali.3. had taken it to a state reff. and got it to pass a inspection check.4 wont be daily driver,mainly weekends and to track events.5. i live in a shit hole town in riverside, cops dont care about cars,mainyl drugs and gangs.6. he lived in diamond bar and got pulled over many times,never got it tooken away. there is no law against rhd cars,just illegal modifications to cars.

[buku_points]

i also have the resources to smog it and re-register it.

[S14DB]

SR20DET is legal in cali?

[WilloW]

i also have the resources to smog it and re-register it.
Not to hate, but that would only get you so far until some CHP pop your hood and ass rape you for modified smog equipments. I wouldn't get it, but then that's just me :blah: :blah: :blah: .

[SimpleS14]

Sorry for the eBay link, but your talking about this car?

I wouldn't get it, unless you want to strip it of its goodies....and sell me the rims. :D

[buku_points]

yea that is it that car, even if it was lhd and i had a sr chp would still rape me

[SimpleS14]

yea that is it that car, even if it was lhd and i had a sr chp would still rape me

That's why I'm glad I live in VA....and another reason you shouldn't get the car...unless you want to part out said car and sell said rims to me. :)

Anyone know how makes those rims?

[buku_points]

i figured i buy it cuz kouki are worth what 8 grand? a sr swap for an s14 motor is like 3 grand,coils another grand thats already 12 grand and that not including the rims and the rest of the suspension parts.

[VROOOM]

the link says its a 95 w/ kouki conversion and RHD conversion. if its just a US car that has been converted to RHD. your only worries would be getting caught wit the motor

[buku_points]

nah i changed my mind, im gonna buy a usdm kouki and do ka-t with a gt28/71r and just get the jdm front and rear bumpers, does anyone know where to get these bumpers cheap?

[S14DB]

ebay ...

[ballr858]

good choice ml

[buku_points]

why is it that all the kouki's are in san diego???????

[TipStylez]

Smart choice, screw the SR.

[redsuns3838]

altho i am pro SR and anti KAT, i think your choice to pass up a JDM S14 is the best idea. ive been really tempted to get JDm cars in the past and realized it IS just bling factor. In the end its a LOT more hassle than its worth . I know ppl with JDM cars and it does attract a lotta unwanted attention.
bumpers- your best bet is like everyone else said, get it on ebay. i remember i got mine off ebay for around 300-350 each. try looking for local ebay sellers. sometimes you can get a deal if you buy both bumpers. I tend to email the shops and just pick up items OFF ebay at a discount. since they stock more than 1 bumper usually.

[!Zar!]

Sr or not, the car still doesn't have frame rails.

Oh, and Ka-T > Sr. hah

[GlacierFreeze]

Almost another victim of the JDM hype haha.

[94cc0rd]

hey i've seen that car at local drift events... he had volk ce28's on there before right?

i remember that license plate... car looked very nice.
