here was my idea to legalize one in the us. buy a 1989-1990 something 240 or anythign nissan for a few hundred bucks…even if its the shell. use that vin, and “register” the crap car, and slap that on the skyline. if anyone asks (cops, insurance) etc etc., its all custom body work, but still has the 240 chassis. A cop/insurance agency is not gonna know. just never get in an accident 😛 ---

(i posted how to on the barf) i have thought about the vin swap with a 240, but i dont think that is the best way to go about it. there are pleanty of other laws you can take advantage of and make it legit. > [@newman](#): > > is there a vin on the chassis anywhere else? the vin is stamped all over the car ---

^^ its not that much, its more like 30, and that is for R34’s. and yea, its way more than emissions, infact it would probably pass sniffer test – japan safety reg’s are way different than ours, need a lot of renforcement crap put in it to weigh it down like a cock slut to make it us DOT legit :tup: :tup: ---
