I would so do the swap the vins with a 240sx vin. and rock the car. i dont think their is a police officer around here that would know the diffrence. as long as u show a valid registration, insurance and matching plates you will be good. ---

And then the first day you get into a serious accident you’re fucked beyond fucked when the INS company find out. They’re not stupid… ---

Not a chance to take unless you like fine$. is it illegal? YES… is anyone going to give a shit? NO… I know plenty of people who have registered cars/bikes that they bought extremely cheap without titles and then bought a wrecked vehicle with the same specs and used the titles to reg and drive the original vehicle… never heard of any of them having a problem and they didnt even swap vins! Shit I’ve always thought about buying a 1995 Eclipse to use the title to reg so I wouldnt have to inspect mine. ---

Yeah. I know what your saying. I just thought you meant if it was reg’d as a 95 it wouldn’t need any inspection. ---

Lol unless you happen to go to the DMV and get a jerk who happens to call me to see if its kosher then legally I have to give them what our procedure says. Unless you yell from the background “Eric I’m from shift cut me a break” lol but as most of you know the DMV is full of loopholes. ---

Unlike most other vehicles, Customs and Border Patrol, the FBI, and a few other federal organizations are actively seeking these cars out to confiscate, destroy, and then arrest you. ---

MotorEx did fuck up a bit when they “tested” the Skylines that were imported. As in they only crash tested some R33s, no R34 or R32 models. Plus they’re some of the more desirable of the banned from import cars. ---
