Legalizing the SR20DET or close to it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

sileighty83 · 12-01-2006, 11:43 AM

When I was pulled over here in cali I got my hood poped (Bull SHIT) luckily I had a KA but im planning to get an SR.

Does any one know of a way here in SoCal to some how legalize the SR or anything to make it safer to roll around with.

thanks.

yeah. move out of state.
or

don't do stupid shit that gets you pulled over, man. drive carefully, and don't give them reason. other than that, an sr is an sr and will be illegal unless it's registered for off-road use.

or you can try to hide that it's an sr...

good luck

this has been discuss so many times. Do you need an SR? IM guessing straight newb with no search skills

KA-T, if you do get ref. reverse the process and make it stock...

So are we officially now done with the Z32 brake threads and starting the legal SR threads? What's next, RHD conversions?

You wanna legalize it for all of us? Go contact the NHTSA and DOT, ask them whos dick your gonna have to suck to get these illegal engines legalized.

if you are gonna do the sr swap and want to "look" legit to the cops, keep the swap stock, and paint your valvecover some stock color if it's a redtop and don't keep the sparkplug cover cuz it says turbo on it haha.

If/When you swap it, use a lot of black semi gloss spray paint to de-bling your stuff...shiny parts draw attention. You'd be surprised how effective this is.

ive been researching this.. all it takes is 5 cars with SRs in them to pass a ref inspection and pass on meter test. so.. clean running motors with a new cat with all carb legal parts (or all the stock nissan stuff) and it could be done. as did motorex with the skylines.. its not that difficult it requires organizing and people who arnt cheap asses or half asses or flakes.. so that knocks out about 90% of zilvia.

^If it were truly that easy, it would'e been done years ago. MotoRex found a loophole for the Skylines, which has since been closed. Bottom line in this argument is...

NOT LEGAL. NOT GOING TO BE LEGAL.
