Bleach Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've seen it in Renton before. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 So it has Washington plates. How do they get these cars titled and registered? They cannot clear customs because of the DOT crash-test requirements. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 240SX + RHD conversion + tail lights... EZ Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 ^^What he said. There's pleanty of people buying up front clips for the engine only, so you could build yourself a totally stock RHD 240 for pretty damn cheap. They all look the same! It's seriously rare to see one that's interesting any more Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 kiznook, are you saying you've seen a bunch of these? I've only ever seen the one. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 northwestnissans.com not exactly like this one, but s13's and s14's in various forms of JDM. I'm sure there will be a dozen or more at GG Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 If the one in Monroe was black, that was Zach's (from Bellingham) and was getting a cage put in at my shop. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 online Ive seen lots of "fake" Skylines. They are the S15 240SX with a Skyline bodykit and RHD conversion. The roofline isn't exastly the same as the Skyline but its pretty convincing. 180SX is a little more 'rare' but its totally like the US 240SX except they came stock with a CA18DET in Japan.

Burabuda Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 there's late model jdm cars running around (illegally) even in cali, where we have smog checks there are only a few cars that the officials look out for, and that's skylines the rest, hondas, 240sx, whatever, drive under the radar Quote Link to comment
