Laecaon Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 How does a 98 180sx exist in America? I didnt think any 180sx made it here, nor the S13 body past 93. Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Its right hand drive though. Imported?? Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 my question is how is it registered? its not past the 25 year mark Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think was what I was getting at. Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 If registration is a problem you can just buy a shell 240sx and swap all the vin numbers. Quote Link to comment

Its right hand drive though. Imported?? Yeah its imported from japan. right hand drive... The last year s13's were sold in japan was 98 my question is how is it registered? its not past the 25 year mark I think was what I was getting at. I have both dmv and smog friends. I wont get into details :) If registration is a problem you can just buy a shell 240sx and swap all the vin numbers. Um last time I herd, that was a felony. You can do hard time for that if caught. I dont think thats worth it... Quote Link to comment

jdmdime Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you guys think its a good trade? I keep going back and fourth... I know I might get a biased answer asking here on ratsun hah Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Not me, You are trading time money and custom work for a fairly common car. I see you have another dime, what is going on with that one? Is your plan a SR and FJ dime? Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 A 510 is 100% cooler than what's basically just a 240 with the novelty of RHD. The only remotely okay thing about that car would be the SR, but you could have the best of both worlds in a 510 with an SR. I say keep the 510, man. Hands down. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah I would keep the 510, way cooler and unique. The 180 is JDM but looks kinda beat. Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 For me, it would be keep the Dime. Some of the 240's are kinda cool(I know you said 180) but you see too many of them. and as Hainz said there is just something about getting thumbs up from guys young and old while driving around a cool Dime. But it is your car, so do what makes you happy. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I say keep your 510 and make it RHD so you have the best of both worlds. :D Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 keep the 510 seriously the 240sx is cool but the dime is a shitload cooler not to mention it has an fj a much more rare beast then an sr and the dime has personality Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you guys think its a good trade? I keep going back and fourth... I know I might get a biased answer asking here on ratsun hah I would keep the dime it will be bad ass Quote Link to comment
