Bakayaro…
I have your car’s original chassis number (the one that was stripped off) on record.
Instead of reporting it or giving out any details to anyone, I’d like to discuss some details with you.
Contact me via pm if you wish.
friggin bullies.
i dont know enough about the import process to retort… but even if i were to import a car and have it seized temporarily because other people are doing it illegally i can tell you that getting upset at the people doing it illegally doesnt help any…
i’d go after the customs agents, and not in a bad way
im with lucky on this one
guys who pull shit like this are hurting people who do it the right way. now these people dont get there cars, but they pay extra to have these cars in storage.
and going after people like this would be betetr then going after agents.
we all knwo right now the government/agents wont do shit for a single person.
but slowing down a guy who imports an illegal car is completely do-able.
ok, maybe i’m off base on this then… i guess its because importing gry-market cars actually impresses me for whatever reason. but that is coming from a guy who hasnt been inconvenienced because of it.
seriously think about it…
im just a guy who came across a car.
did i personally import it… no
did i sneak it into the country… no…
i just saw a car and said… hey its already here… maybe i can register the car legally.
and when i say legally… it went through a legal safety test… a legal emission test and a legal structural test… and with that… the mto decided it was fit to be on the road… and on the road i shall put it.
and what is it with people calling me kid?? im 2 years shy of 30… how old are you?
forgot to answer mike…
im not sure what you mean by chassis number…
im not sure how the vin’s work in japan… but i do believe all the chassis numbers / characters are the same… and then theres the serial number or production number…
like i said… i dont know how it works over there… but my car and other clips that ive seen have the same chassis number… maybe thats the model vin … im not an expert on it… so im just guessing here.
ladies and gents, this thread is going to be moved to the member’s only section because it is essentially a discussion about illegal behaviour in one way or another including the soliciting of illegal cars.
this is an admin decision at the behest of anonymous forum lurkers / members who are government employees whose jobs are relevant to the current topic… they too do not think this is appropriate for a public forum.
it is locked now, but will remain here for a few minutes so that you guys can see what is going to happen, then it gets moved.
it’s really quite simple how the “vins” work in japan, one has the chasis code, s14-####### usual a total of 9 numbers, then there is a number below it that usualy has 7.
This is a problem for registering a car in canada, and the MTO should catch on it it RIGHT AWAY. All cars in canada have 17 digit vins, the reason for this is they contain paint codes, engine codes and raiting information for insurance comapnies.
This is 1 reason why people with “jdm” cars pay so much more for insurance as even if it’s the “same car” the insurance co cant just type it into there computer and spit out a number for you.
Now as i’ve said before, and as i’ve thought, you bought the car from jdm engineland, they illegally imported the car, forged the paperwork etc etc etc and sold it to you saying it was road legal.
Now doing what you did has nothign to do witht he car being leagal, it has to do with the car being “safe” The simple fact that the car is not elligable for import says this. If you think i’m wrong, phone customs and ask them. It’s right there in the HTA which is FEDERAL, it’s not hard to understand it, it’s really quite easy to actually and has been quoted 3 or 4 times in this thread alone.
But you ARE in posession of an illegal import, you need to know this and UNDERSTAND that the fines of which are close to 10000$ once again, dont belive me? phone and ask customs.
Bing, legal action is being pursued to release the cars that are being held under the new “modified means new manufacture date” bull. If you woudl like the gentleman’s email address who is responseible for this new policy pm me and you can ask for yourself what is legal and isnt.
