If I was to swap VIN's... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Jmsklmn · 08-31-2009, 08:07 PM

Well here is my dilemma. buddy of mine picked up an real imported Silvia s13 a while back. The problem was, he didn't have any paperwork or anything for the car. He began to part it out he sold the (motor, front end, and a couple other misc things.) Whats left is a fairly clean shell with perfect interior he will sell me for ridiculously cheap >$1000. Seeing as the vehicle will be next to impossible to register, If I do get it my last choice would be to vin swap it. I can find a rust bucket for $500ish and swap the dash vins and some others. The one issue would be the firewall vin, how would one go about swapping that one?

Any info would help, Thanks!

Yup... That's pretty much the ONLY way you're gonna swap firewall VIN's. Unless you have some alien advanced way of doing it.

Good evening, officer.
Here, let me help you by explaining how to break the law on my dime.

No, no I won't.
