Registering japanese car

[Vteckidd]

I've owned 3 rhd cars. 2 Silvia Ks and 1 180sx. I've been pulled over 3 times in only one of the cars and cops always said some comment about it being from "England" wrote me a ticket and let me go

they never seemed interested in seeing if the vin actually matched or was in different spots etc. The ONLY 2 places that matter are the firewAll and the dash. If those vins are there local authorities don't car and can't tell you if it's right or wrong.

You'd have to REALLY piss a cop off and then he'd have to impound it and call Feds to investigate

It's highly unlikely an LEO will ever check a VIN as long as the registration is up to date. If the dash matches the registration then it's golden but if for some reason it doesn't, like with a dash swap, they'll read the door jamb and you better hope that matches the registration lol!

Low rent body shops rarely tape off the fender VIN for resprays and I've never seen a LEO pop a hood to look at the firewall. Hell, I always had my VIN covered with a black card so it looked like there wasn't even a VIN spot. Only twice was I asked about it and they didn't even have me remove the card when I said it was to prevent anyone from cutting a key with the VIN. Play it cool and typically it's not a problem...it's all about how you present yourself and how you speak to them anyways.
