I have searched and havnt found anything. The person im buying this from has a salvaged japanese title. I spoke with the dmv and they have told me that you cant register a salvaged imported car. Is there anyway around this. I really need to register this car. Pls help if you have any info on this

Maybe try applying for a rebuild or assembler's title.

im thinking about buying a wrecked usdm 93 hatch and changing everything like the title and vins to the jdm. Will this work?

Didn't the DMV say you can not register it? Only other ways would be illegal.

I would be very wary of that. Those are the types of things that chop shops do, and since you will have to have your vehicle inspected by a law enforcement officer of some sort who deals with cars (usually state troopers), you don't want to look like your car has been chopped. And with car theft rates pretty high for imports, I'm sure they are looking extra hard at those cars for anyone trying to pull a fast one.

I've thought about this a lot.

has to be some way to do this
i see rhd's registered somehow

There is a way. You have to know people. Specifically a police officer who will help you apply for one of those titles.

good luck and i hope you get that bad boy registered.. its nice to see rhd cars on the road and if you can't register your's then that would truly be a waste.. oh wait.. unless you just strip it and move all the parts into another car.. hmmmm...
