EK9 imported and regod.. dodgy, but apparently works???

so last week i met this guy who imported an ek9. apparently, what he did was bring the ek9 down, cut out the chassis no., ID tags/VIN, and replace and weld in ek4 ones.

he had an ek4 which was recently written off, but still registered (hadnt notified vicroads that it was written off). so after changing over the VIN, he told me all he did was put the ek4 licence plates on the ek9, and notify vicroads that his engine number and car colour had been changed. the car is not complied or anything.

is this possible? sounds like bullshit to me?

that is known as rebirthing, and is illegal.
there is a large fine for people who do this, and possibly jail.

Sounds awesome ~ but highly illegal

Did he notify them that he got a spray job and new seats while in the process of the engine swap lol?

oh wow, so thats what a rebirth is!!!!.. so its some serious shit? but realistically what is the chance of being caught? got me thinking if its really is that easy? he only payed 11k for it and it is immaculate!! is it worth the risk?

lol ozhonda... unsuspectingly teaching kids to rebirth since 2003

lol 11k for a rebirth what a rip and so illegal....

The guy you met has got some serious balls doing a rebirth. All i will say is good luck to the bloke and fingers cross he doesn't get caught. it is not that easy as he puts it - there is a lot - i mean a lot involve and he's not telling you everything.

Stay clear man, it is not worth it and I am sure most people on OZ will agree with me.

okay so quite simply, hes an idiot? loll probably just better off building an ek4..

dont even bother with it aye bad things will happen to the car or him can garantee that

Theres more rebirths going around than you think and many don't realise they have one lol

if no one ever dobs him in , honestly dont think he would ever get picked up on it, unless he gets sent to epa and they notice the firewall weld marks and even then high;y unlikely
if hes done a good job

If it's a good enough cut and shut job covered by immaculate wields and Respray of the area no one could tell! Plus the vin of his ek4 was never recorded as stolen or written off!!

tell him his a sick **** for ripping the system... a thumbs up to him....

no seriously buy that car

If he was ever called up for it (say someone dobbed him in) and the inspector can't prove the vin swap (must be a near perfect cut and shut) RTA can't do shit. If they cant prove the vin swap its not like they can prove a car is an ek9 by going off the chassis layout.

Neither the ek9 vin or the ek4 vin was recorded as a write off

But he will need engineer cert for the recaros as ek4 never came with recaros. And need a good excuse for no longer having a sunroof.

In the end if you were gonna do something like this (not that I would recommend it) ask your self
Where you gonna get spare EK vin from?
How you gonna source an EK9
Know a fcuking good weilder and spray painter who can cover up the cut and shut?
You got the balls to go get the blue slip done?
Got the balls to register it?

smart was is to register the EK4 first then change the vin number lol, im sure theres alot of cars like this going around.

im curious to see this car , if facelift ek9 miring hard

Oh and he'll never be able to advertise to car as an ek9 when he tried to sell it Coz vin now clearly says ek4...

haha ive got an awsome welder! im actually considering now! yes it is a facelift.. u guys rekon it would work with a gli or cxi? got me thinking hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your gonna do it stop talking about it on a public forum buddy that is all..

That's plenty of snitches out there, if you flaunt it some jelly bastards gonna try dob you in just for their own satisfaction Coz they couldn't get one.. Do it but don't tell no one.. Less people who know less chance of loose ends

not anytime soon mate.. its good to know what options are out there. no one will remember this thread by the time i go through with something like that haha

Dude EK9 are legal under Vic laws from what ive been told, and seen personally! so are u even bothering about the rebirth!

Where as NSW, its impossible to get any ek9 rego

Unless the vehicle was a personal import ek9 from japan, than chances are of any ek9 sold in vic, is infact a rebirth model. Find a import agent, and go from there if u really want a ek9

Either stick to a personal import ek9, which still retail what around 18 - 15k, or be a dodgey kent and go for it lol....

People seriously say "jelly" and "mirin" now? Really? ****.

Thats bandwagons for ya..

Hahaha why not it's catchy

theres one vendor in the trader section that does this. i saw them doing it lol.
btw, its easy to find out if it's been welded or not as most welders in au dont backpurge(tig).
if welder uses tig, backpurge, grind and sand then yea cant see the difference.

Silly to post this online, especially on a public forum.

You'll be suprised how many nissans are rebirths considering they're always getting trashed and smashed; dodgy as hell.

Risk is yours, but I don't see how you can't import them - I know 2 people who own one in Victoria.

Honest question, why would they need to rebirth nissans? as most nissans are legally imported. trash one, just import another one rather than sacrificing a donor car?

Coz if you crash your skyline and all you got left is a vin number, it's easier and cheaper to buy a non registrable/track use skyline coz you don't need to go through compliance process... Cut and shut the vin and update details with RTA..

Lol if you get tricked into buy an ek9 which clearly has ek4 vin plates then I feel sorry for you...

yeh coz i know some people who doesnt check on revs and just buy the car because they just want one lolz

when you get the slip for transfer of rego, it will clearly say blahblah 95 ek4.... or whatever if you dont read this then i feel sorry for you...

OP is melb / Vic. all this talk of RTA stuff..VicRoads says you can get an EK9 legit (or other imports) if you buy through a workshop who imports it if its not a personal import. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/...gistration.htm your mate is a brave dodgey knt lol

Maybe it's not his mate.... conspiracy...

i believe it is a real highly unlikly chance of him getting caught, as you said it was never registered that the ek4 was a write off, vicroads have no clue, if the vin plate was whelded on very professionally and re-sprayed properly i believe it can get away,
engine swap, which is really popular for hondas and modifications.
if you have a connection with a panel beater, tell them give you a reciept faking that you did your paint job there, and a mechanic that you did engine conversion or something.
i believe it wont be a big drama if the vin plate looks legit.
ek4 rego on an ek9,

edit: IMO.

why is it illegal to register a EK9 legitly?

Well from what I read, in NSW, unless it's a yellow plated personal import, then no it cannot be registered in NSW without going to excessive amounts of trouble loop hole or something..

loll nah hes not my mate. hes actually an auto elec. i dropped by for a quote in the eastside for my mums car and saw an ek9 in the back :O

nice bloke, but yee dodgy as! good on him though for having the balls to try it. thats one guy who genuinly loves ek9s haha

you should of said "sir your under arrest for fabricating the license of an illegal vehicle"

sounds like an idiot. if you were doing this why the hell would you tell some random who dropped in for a quote

I'd say he knew him from the past hence why he went back for a quote lol?

Good on him for keeping it genuine ;) genuine ek9 - many of us are no where near the genuine only stage unfortunately

Highly illegal but so easy to do.. Just don't brag to anyone about it keep it to yourself

yeh, hell illegal but cheap and easy way of doing it.
but i would take the typeR badges off and make it a sleeper :P

oh theres an eg here in perth for sale for 10k with turbo b18c in it pulling 280hp
worth it? or too expensive? i would imagine it cost more then 10k to get the engine and turbo in there but overall would it be awesome?

why would u take the badges off??? LOL, kinda takes away the whole experience of owning a EK9, and i highly doubt police or any would know the difference between a ek1 and ek9, to them its just another civic really

at the end of the day, if u get caught doing this, do the crime do the time, and if u dont, than u wont, simple as that, like everything else we do in life :)

IMO, find a legit imported ek9 here in melb, awhile back seeker motor sports had there EK9 for sale, legit ek9 that was imported here with plates and compliance if i recall, do the right thing man, and buy a real ek9 thats been imported and not rebirth, instead of tryna rebirth a ek9 ;)

true- cops may never know, but you never know cops

Just go for it man... whats the worst that could happen?





































4weeks later...

srs though, prob dont buy it now that youve started a thread about it and everyone knows its a rebirth + theres evidence right here. who knows someone might go dibby dob

I'm surprised this thread isn't closed yet? Cops are prob reading it as you all give input...

^ my point exactly! :D

Wtf? No one ever said anything about that car being for sale or anyone planning to buy it, people need to learn to fcuken read!

plus, without vin number etc how can you dob in?

http://media.superpimper.com/graphic...mments-121.jpg

No one had to talk about the rebirth-Ed car for sale or building one for that matter but have you guys never heard of I.P tracking to get Information about a person so they can track you down and watch your every move?

Just keep in mind for everyone who posted on this thread that If someone wants to know anything about you from your eye colour to penis size (mm or inches) the (Federal agents) can do it with little research ./

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3567/wtf2.gif

lol re birthing happens more than you guys think. sooo many car workshops r involved in dodgy shit like this and drugs etc. how do u think they survive all these years? and rebirthing isnt just 4 rego'ing imports its also done with stolen cars too

yet your ignorant to state, 'why isnt this thread closed'

whats closing the thread going to do? OP isn't even the one doing the rebirthing, neither has anyone stated that they are currently doing it.

so ur saying, the cop is going to track OP IP, and follow him to the panel beaters, to hopefully find the crime? but the OP can be going off to any of the thousands of panel beaters around his area and the cops going to try n go bust in every single one in hopes to find a rebirthed car?

dude honestly,

i bet ur one of those guys, who go to a meet, the cops come, and u all do runners, yet ur only 1 inch lowered and have a cannon (AWW NOOO GUNNA GET DEFECTED)

lack of logic. just chillout, i hate when threads are closed for the sake of it. just leave it open for discussion

Mwaku keep talking it up bro :D U jelly

lol na bro just mirin



u mad ? ;)

i roflmao'd.

MC Racing..just sayin..

Lol me always mad foo :D

wth?

this goes from some guy saying he saw somethin that was pretty interesting to an online argument.

just remember arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics even if you win your still r****ded

srry to offend anyone who is handicapped.

your wifes a spy for the P.I.A (penis intelligence agency)

Every 2nd skyline is rebirth in NSW, no joke. Try going for a weekend joyriding in some that are for sale and have a look for yourself.

These kinda dodgy shit happens all the time, its the only way to make good money out of 2nd hand/stolen/written off dmg car.

Look at it this way, Your 20, earning 700$/week, got no savings probs got other problems too. you crash your civic, ek4 for example. Got no dosh to fix it properly, what other path is left? Your gonna do dirties, weld up chassis, rebirth, get parts from other interchangeable civics for under 1grand and homejob it and sell the car for as much as u can get right?

Just my 2cents, and also you dont have to go looking far to find a shop that's willing to help ya. Its all about how much you put into it.

Solid advice right thurrr

700 a week fkn ballin'

I'd manwhore for 700 a week! Any women interested?

700 dorrah ? so mut muney

now listen

1. 700 bucks and u can't save? how did u end up getting a car in the first place
2. no savings? how do you buy the spare chassis?
3. isn't this why insurance is for?

the average australian income is 69k. this is approx 1k a week cleared. 700 a week is below average

but i agree, if you're living at home with little to nil expenses, 700 a week is fkn plenty

i didnt even bother reading above.. just saw 700 a week = baller rofl

He was talking about a 20 year old. The average income for a 20 year old is well below 700 a week.

Its not hard to for a 18 year old with a part time job to walk into a bank and get a loan? Then never pay the money back. That not a crime, but you will regret it for the next 7.5 years MAX! Who cares right? get a massive loan and a credit card at the same go. It will be all deleted from your file (i work for veda)

If you think $700/week is alot of money, maybe you need to grow up a little and stop leaving in the box your parents have created for you. 700/week you will be struggling to put food on your table yet alone pour fuel in your car. And insurance? who gets full insurance for a 10year+ car? LOL! probs buy a new civic every year lololol.
Whoeva said buying a new chassis, you cant replace chassis in your backyard mate, go do some research before you type? But you can weld cracks quiet easily and normally would only cost 90$ wit the machine from hire shop. If you know any1 that has replaced chassis in his backyard then his a real hero.
And if your 20 earning 65k why would you wanna buy a piece of shit 2nd car and civic out of all things. Here's a piece of advise go buy a house or investment with good returns.

I guess the lack exp in life is what allows p platers to get ripped off. If you are stuck in a situation like this feel free to PM me. Its only when you become a feen when you preform at your best its in every humans nature.

Again this is highly illegal and alot of work is involved do not do this till its your last option. If you would like to stay safe from these 'con-men' do your homework before you buy the car or be prepared to turn a blind eye if the car is wat u really want. And always remember to look and sound genuine and no1 will ever know.
