[zeroneonzn]

what happends when u get poped and the cop see's a sr20det in ur car instead of the ka24 ??????????? whats the penotly ????????

[vsiev]

Car impounded...fines...and most likely they will make you do a smog right away.

[zeroneonzn]

i though was 1 month in jail, fines, + license taken away for 2-5 years

[zauber]

wow that is a bit harsh. does anyone know if they have laws like that in pennsylvania. i am pretty confident that the place i need to get yearly inspections have no clue or would care as long as it said nissan some where on it.

[vsiev]

I think the whole jail thing was if you were caught racing or promoting an illegal race.

[InFuZiOn]

Yeah, same thing with having your license revoked for 2-5 years. I've never heard of anything like getting your car impounded but yeah you might get a fine for having what in the cops' eyes is an "illegal" modification. Not positive of all this though.

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

that's pretty harsh.

Your not going to have a problem witha swapped engine or Smog if you live in the state of Oklahoma like me... hell the cops near the lake encourage people to get better engines to try and beat the OHP Camaros which can go 210 for like 15 -30 minutes

If you get pulled over and they have you pop your hood, they won't know the difference between the KA and the SR, but they will see the turbo and you'll get a trip to the smog ref. Tell them you had no idea the engine was not the factory one or illegal, say it was in the car when you bought it and didn't think twice about it.

It's a correctible violation, you probably have to pay some money in paper work, then you need to swap a KA back in which is going to cost you some $$$.

If you are caught racing (random car on the street) and cited, it's 2 points on your record, if you don't have any other points you will keep your license, if that makes 3 points for you, then you're fucked =(

If it's some organized race you're probably looking at an impound for fun.

Hmm, sounds like something is missing from this story. I'm sure they were doing something else to get 1 month in jail, along with the 5g fine.

i really doubt that swapping an engine leads to jail time or the cops would be cracking down on local shops too.

[LaYzIeNoY]

the shops are safe pretty much because they say its illegal to do the swape disclaimer blah blah blah

and that it is your fault for taking it to the road and that their services are for track use only, its alot of BS that keeps them safe

i can't say about the penalties in cali as im from florida and we don't even have emissions testing anymore, plus cops here probably couldnt tell what and SR is....

[kman10587]

I live in Bakersfield, CA and my friend drives his SRT-4 around with no exhaust tips or mufflers whatsoever. He's been pulled over twice and the cop never gave him a ticket for illegal mods. So I guess it depends what part of CA you live in whether it's really a big deal or not.

[LaYzIeNoY]

but you also need to take in account that the SRT-4 is an smerican car and it street legal

it could be location or that the cops dont look to hard because they figure he got it at a dealership like that

i mean the SR was never offered to the US
