S14 legal importation?

[Lilman0128]

I have a pearl white 240sx s14, if I import a pearl white Nissan Silvia s14, can I just put on my 240sx plates and swap vin plates can I pretty much get away with it?

[beems240sx]

Yes absolutely. Nissan designed it that way

[tdaffern]

So you are asking for advise on illegal activities on a public forum? :duh:

[Bmxer300zx]

Have fun hacking up your firewall numbers. Hopefully you do a really good job and no cop ever see's anything fishy or your pipe dream will be sent to a crusher.
If you have the money to import one why not do it the right way? Or just do a rhd and sr20 swap on yours?
This is almost as good is "how to import a skyrine"

[Lilman0128]

I'm just saying, it seems possible to me, not saying I'm gonna do it.

[S12 Drifter]

commen sense would dictate it's possible and get away with it.

if i have a crashed white z32 and i import say a jdm z32 because it's jdm and vin swap them then it can be a legal car just that you had the steering modified for the passenger side.

i thought about importing a R32 gtr from canada and vin swapping it with a S14 i would buy.

seriously what cop is going to put your car on a lift and check if it's stolen? the paper work for registration is a PAIN in the ass and takes a long time what if i wanna drive my skyline now and flash it off to people?

[racepar1]

You can get away with all kinds of illegal shit, that doesn't make it right...

:squint:

[WV_SR20]

Hey guys help me commit a felony, how could this possibly go wrong for anyone involved.

[racepar1]

Actually, this is more serious than a felony. If OP actually got caught doing this it is a FEDERAL crime. No county jail for him...

[illvialuver]

I am not going to do it, I was just wondering if it was possible?
Why don't we make a thread asking if we can import truck loads of narcotics or if it is possible to stick a watermelon up your ass and ingest it?

Because that would be stupid, and you wouldn't do it anyway, that's why.

[brndck]

lol its more than ONE federal crime.
1. vin tampering
2. emissions tampering (trying to pass one thing off for another)
3. dmv fraud if you register one car as something else.

yeah you could possibly get away with it, but having a RHD car already is a big red flag for many cops, they're not exactly common stateside.

[drscooper]

OP you're a fucking idiot. close this up

[jr_ss]

Stupid thread is stupid...

People really are dumb.

[Lilman0128]

Isn't it the same thing when someone from Washington has a skyline, but when the vin is checked out it says it's an altima? Like I said it would be easier to get away with it since they're exactly the same car, just different interior parts.

[Miguelone]

Yeah cus R32 = S14... wat

[!Zar!]

What the fuck would you gain by going from a usdm s14 to a jdm s14?

It's the same shit.

[tdaffern]

JDM tight yo

[s14SRguy]

fuck that, import one, leave the vin, leave the japanese plates and when the cops roll up just DIP you can outrun em.
trust.


let us know how it goes

[da_crew10]

No you cannot just swap a vin onto a jdm version and get away with it LEGALLY. Just because you do it doesnt make it right. Also as stated above its a felony amd has more than one consequence if caught.
YES sometimes a cop will go over every inch of your car and all possible vin number locations. I got puller over in my old z32 after painting black from red and ON THE WAY to the dmv to change the regi color I was pulled over. My dash vin#, firewall, doorjam and window #'s where all checked before I was allowed to drive.
.
This is a stupid thread you don't have enough money to do this if you have to ask. You can't even bring a canadian imported skyline across the border without a ton of b.s unless you talk the owner into driving across for you and flying him back. N2m the repercussion he can take if theres a problem.

Nothing would be legal about that cars registration but you already knew that, trollolololin it up.

On that off chance that you do believe this most cops are smart enough to realize something is up the second they see a RHD car and to top it off a turbo under the hood and the shitty ass job you did putting the VIN numbers in.

WHAT?!?! You have no idea what you're talking about. Certain states are lenient when it comes to gray market cars and let folks register some cars. You can get these cars STATE legal since most states dont care, doesnt mean they'll let you swap vins from one car to another. Most of the time, they will assign a NEW VIN to the car (WA does this) or some states like FL will take the JDM vin for what it is.

[97nismo]

Is this orangevirus?

[imotion s14]

lol at the moral police.

Lawful =/= moral, what he is doing certainly isn't legal. It's highly illegal because the Feds have nothing better to do then to impose restrictions on what you can do. But saying that it's not "right" implies there are issues of morality. Why is it "wrong" when it's a victim-less "crime"? Who is wronged if he were to swap VIN plates?

Answer: no one.

[EnemyS15]

What the Fuck is wrong with people ???? I hope op gets pinked for being stupid.

Yeah, it is. AND it's just as ILLEGAL. If you get caught your car will be confiscated and CRUSHED and you'll go to JAIL.

Just because you can probably get away with something doesn't make it right. You can probably get away with murder too if you do it right (OJ)...

hahahaha he will be forever remembered.. xD
fuck that, import one, leave the vin, leave the japanese plates and when the cops roll up just DIP you can outrun em.

if youre a retard
What the fuck would you gain by going from a usdm s14 to a jdm s14?

It's the same shit.
yes! why not just go through the legal way anywho! at least that way your only issue is it being a japanese car.. not vin swapping and misleading the dmv which is THE GOVERNMENT!

[fatduece]

Since were already on the topic of RHD. I just gotta ask (because I cant seem to find an answer) Is it LEGAL to convert a LHD vehicle to RHD? Seems like a no, since you'd be using a RHD dash that has a Japanese vin. Tanks in advance.

[DJ-of-E]

I have a pearl white 240sx s14, if I import a pearl white Nissan Silvia s14, can I just put on my 240sx plates and swap vin plates can I pretty much get away with it?

This one's a smart one :duh:

You think he figured an SR20DET swap is already illegal, he thinks a car swap with vin plate swap is legal? :cops:

Every RHD S chassis (not including S15, was not looking that close) I have seen has not even had a dash VIN. But you can still get the car blue tagged or something like that.

[Miguelone]

Jap market cars don't have those vins in the bottom of the windscreen, just the vin on the top of the firewall. If you left that panel there and just swapped the lower piece shouldn't be an issue?

[ocn]

Everyone says that there's no such thing as a dumb ass question... well today my friends you have ask, A DUMB ASS QUESTION, the fact you asked means you probably shouldn't do it. that risk is up to you just like when people sell Cocaine and heroin etc .. im not gonna ask someone if they think i can get away with an illegal activity.

[s14SRguy]

You'r a retard



If your serious:duh:

[240boi115]

If your serious:duh:

wasnt calling you out at all.. and im still pondering at how the quote says "you'r" but my post says "youre":wtf:

[240boi115]

I will get some later at work now..
what?:tweak::confused::wtf:

[onehundredoctane]

And mods haven't closed this thread. . . ??????????

They'll delete threads for street racing/ street drifting, but not for someone suggesting that they might swap vins on a car. . . which is ILLEGAL!

[FRpilot]

Yes absolutely. Nissan designed it that way

HAHA that response with your signature right below it... perfect!

what about different crash safety and other regulations between a usdm z32 and a jdm z32?

besides, everyone knows that s13 coupes look more similar to r32... using an s14 is just plain stupid!

[mightymike130]

Not a bright idea. You will end up with 3 accounts of Felony. Dont fuck up your life over some piece of shit RHD car that you probably wont even be able to shift properly.

[EnemyS15]

Go for it! Then I hope someone in your area sees you in your illegal car, decides to be a dick and report you/your car. It'll be karma doing her thing. You land some fed charges and your expensive car gets crushed! Life lesson learned ....

your a dumbass you don't got through crash safety because the car was released to America, if you import as a Nissan pao or Nissan figaro those have to go through crash safety test because it was never released in America.

the Z32 jdm and usdm are the same car safety wise why would there be any difference in safety features? :duh:

it's not like the japanese Z32 is any safer then the usdm model.. other then steering location but that does not hinder safety.

[S12 Drifter]

Yeah, it is. AND it's just as ILLEGAL. If you get caught your car will be confiscated and CRUSHED and you'll go to JAIL.

I remembered reading the vehicle import rules a while back, but I don't remember being that easy just because there's a USDM version available. Something about front/side/rear safety.

[EsChassisLove]

It still blows my mind that a car can get you sent to a federal prison.

A car.

A CAR

A CAR!

DING DING DING WINNNAAAR! OV Junior strikes agaain. USDM safety prerequisites are more stringent than the JDM ones. You need to change alot of shit on JDM Z32 to make it pass the USDM safety standards. Different metal bumpers, stronger doors, then you have to change the windshield for the big items for the conversion.

[240Cali]

why would you even waste your time to doing so??? Get an sr and if you're that eager to be so0o0o0o JDM swap it to rhd and be done with it. tho still not illegal, you might get away if you have leggit rhd papers from a super leggit shop and I can tell ya u def wont be doing federal time..

[Oakville]

Well no, fraud and tampering with safety equipment.

You guys got it tough when it comes to imports though. as much as I hate our system, I'd hate to have to deal with yours.

[Oakville]

Surprisingly, I am kinda glad I don't have to deal with the importation processes that exist in Australia. Speaking as a noob and only referencing what I saw in the ever-classic MCM vids, at least here in canada there are a lot of things we can 'get away with' compared to down there. No visible air filters, no BOVs..? I just wanna know if thats actually legit!

[Raycampos]

Import it
Strip it completely down and swap everything to your USDM s14 .
As long as you don't tamper with the vin on the firewall and the door will you'll be OK.
Legally your car needs 2 readilly accessible vins.
Since your gonna use rhd dash your going to lose that vin.
Do not try to rivet the vin on the JDM dash that will be a felony.
Federal felony.
I have one just like it. Insured and been pulled over by curious cops .they can never find anything wrong.
Been like that for more than 5 years

[Miguelone]

Visible air filters are fine, as are BOV's(stock or plumbed back) In NSW where MCM is shot pod filters have to be enclosed but here in Vic they only have to be securely mounted. You're only allowed one intake mod though so Pod filter or FMIC but not both :/

[silviasandbeer]

Do it, you wont get caught
