I just currently bought a 2000 ITR shell. The problem I have is the car only has one vin number on the car and it is a sticker on the passenger side. There is no vin on the dash because there isnt no dashboard. There is no vin on the firewall either because it is a rhd converted shell. Where else can I find a vin on the car? I have the title in hand but the problem is how am i suppose to register the car with no vin beside the sticker with the vin number on the passenger side? Is there another vin somewhere that I dont know of. If anyone can lead me to any info would be very helpful. How would I prove that I own that car? Will chp issue me the missing vin on the dash and firewall?

 

I know someone here can help me... this car is not stolen but a theif recovery car that was bought from an auction.

 

You say you have a title with the VIN, what's the problem? LOL!

 

california law requires three vin for the car and all the vin on the car is different, beside one sticker on the door jam that is a sticker. So when dmv does a visual inspection wont they wonder if the car was stolen or not?

 

go to the chp and they will rivit vins for you. ps better have it bar/carb legal when you do it

 

Damn California laws are strict...

 

what is "bar/carb legal "?

 

CARB - California Air Resources Board
BAR - Bureau of Automotive Repair

Bar - means car has to be fully stock just like it came off the assembly line with no code errors or anything.

carb - just californias boa constrictor to make sure everything is environmental safe

aka driving down the road chp pulls your over says pop your hood. see cold air intake but no carb serial gives you a ref ticket. have to put stock airbox and arm back on go to bar and get inspected. refuse a bar ticket is 550 bucks.

once you get bar'd nad passed the inspection take the paperwork to CHP and they will rivet on the vins for a LEGAL looking vin replacement aka will save you alot of time int he future if you get pulled over

 

****, you guys have it tight over there. I could pretty much blag having no vin numbers over here with the old bill. they never check vins, just reg plate and if it matches your name and address. not even a mot which law requires to be road worthy care about vins really

 

I just called up chp and they told me that they cant give me a new vin plate on my dash. Maybe the officer was a dick. They just transfer me to the salvage department and no one picked up.

 

Sounds like you need to talk to the salvage department and not give up until they pick up. Do you have a picture of this "sticker" on the passenger side door jamb?

 

yes it is the vin sticker from the dealer on the door jam. how do i put up pictures on here.

 

go down and talk in person. they are ******* ******** over the phone i have gave my fair share of headaches

 

When you say dealer, are you meaning the FACTORY put the sticker on the PASSENGER side? I was never aware that the factory did that. Are there any stickers on the motor or transmission? Or did I miss that explanation?

 

so do you think i can actually get this resolve? it is just a little confusing depending on who i talk to. Some people said that chp can issue me new vin plates and other chp officers says they cant. The funny thing is they are nice to me about it until they ask me what car I have and I tell them it is a Integra type R then the mood changes.

 

you know when you buy a car brand new you have vin stickers on each door panels? I assume they are the one that came from the dealer. I dont have the stock engine because it was stolen. Does this make sense?

 

On my ITR, there is only 1 sticker, it is placed on the DRIVERS side door jamb from the FACTORY.

 

mine is in the passenger side. i dont have one on the driver side.

 

i just dont want to feel like I spent all this money on a type r that i cant drive. I should of looked at the vins before i bought it.

 

....damn...if you can get it to work...you might as well go buy a real jdm itr and peel that vin sticker off your usdm teg......lol....good luck!!

 

hopefully it works, i should of gotten a jdm itr it is cheaper it get one here...

 

now here is the part that is kicking my a**. CHP told me I wont be able to register my car unless I can bring in the title of the salvage jdm car that the firewall came from. This seem like it is pretty impossible to get since the car was basically from Japan. Des anyone know how I would obtain one?

 

Your **** outta luck SNOWFLAKE!!!
