Thanks hazw8st for helping me w/ my CA registration

[strsi]

Those of you from CA will understand me. Smoging my EM1 every 2 years for registration sucks. Everytime I have to go through & pull of parts that aren't carb approved, zero out the cam gears, dump the hondata, blah blah.... And thats not even that much compared to what some of u other guys w/ more serious builds have to do to pass smog. The only options are to do all this & then hope u pass smog. Or bribe some shady smog guy to take care of ur smog. That very illegal though, u dont know you ur really dealing with. Will the guy actually take care of ur smog or will he just take ur money & never hear from him again. I never have to worry about that again thanks to Jay (hazw8st). My car is still a CA street legal registered car, but i does not require smog checks every 2 years to register it anymore. Thanks to Jay's handy work, it will never require a smog check again for registration. Best thing is he's not shady at all, he's a great guy to deal with. He's not some smog tech doing shady work on the side. As he expalined, he works for law firm & deals with all sorts of DMV registration issues, legally. He can take care of smog issues like he did for me, he can register JDM cars, and pretty much any other DMV issue u might have. As he explained to me, he is an import enthusiest who helps out fellow tuners. If ur car is built seriously & wont pass smog because of it, then hit him up & he'll take good care of u. However, if ur car is a stock beat up POS that runs like sh*t and because of this wont pass smog, then he will not be interested in helping. I paid him a reasonable fee, and he took care of all the legal paper work for me. I thank him for his time & work to help me out. If ur interested, hit him up.

You mean you never met the original poster?

[Luserkid]

So is this a worthless sarcastic thread or is it real. Cause thats pretty messed up to mess with Cali people like that. I think its a little on the BS side but if theres truth to it i would love to get in on it as well as probably everyone else here.

[cxSHOE]

jay garrett is legit. and its completely legal. cost is in the thousands (depending one what needs to be done). but in the end it actually is worth it.

"The only way is to have the vehicle titled in a state that doesn't enforce engine modification or engine swaps, here in California we title the car in California and in Nevada, that way the vehicle has 2 valid registrations. The vehicle bears Nevada plates, but when the vehicle is stopped by law enforcement, valid California registration and insurance is surrendered. The only glitch is you cannot have both plates on the vehicle at the same time. The way we title it in 2 states is by requesting a duplicate title in the home state, in this case California.
Any vehicle can legally pass smog, even in California.


The best way to smog your ride is the legal way! We legally pass the vehicles using CNG/LPG/propane gas. The vehicles are slightly modified and passed on propane, and then, upon the owners discretion, changed back to regular pump gasoline, there are no permanent modifications are done to the vehicle, the turnaround is about 4-6 hours.
We will gladly explain the conversion process to anyone who would like to convert their own vehicles, please feel free to email us at: jargon_@hotmail.com with any questions. Any engine can be legally smogged and registered. Turboed, supercharged, high compression JDM motors, SR20's, KA's, RB26's, or any engine in any car. "

Ah ic. But in order for you to register it in another state (like Nevada or Az) wouldnt you have to have an address in that state? Thats how i thought that works.

i dont want to put words in jays mouth (and im not even sure if he does it this way. so my appologies jay if im mis-spoken), car is titled to "someone" in that specific state, then when the title comes to "that" person. it is then transferred back to original owner. so its just a simple title transfer as a gift, so theres no tax fees then transferred back as a gift with no tax fees. there are no taxes on gifts as far as it relates to automobiles.

but like i said im not exactly sure how jay does it, but i know its done legally. and everyone will call bullshit, until the moneys put down and he does the paper work. then the title to the rhd or engine swap is in your hand...

[Luserkid]

Yea i was thinking of doing that when my friend lived in Az for school but didnt jump on it. But i understand what your talking about. Only thing i dont get is the 2 registrations part. But i did PM Jay just need to wait til he gets back to me.

yes, this thread is real. thats just jay joking.

to be totally honest i didn't even think it was possible. but now i'm taken care of & its totally legit.

there are several ways he does it. cxSHOE touched on one way, although i dont know if the specifics are exactly the way jay does it. such as i dont think he has u transfer ur cars title to someone out of state, but im not totally sure. u'll have to contact him for more info. this way gets u out of smogs & smog refs.

the way he did it for me has to do with alternative fuels. my car never has to be smoged, but i could still get sent to a smog ref. this way though, i run only a CA plate, no out of state plate. his price varies based on what u have & what u need, but i will say that it didn't cost me anywhere near thousands of dollars.

it sounds to good to be true but its not. hit hazw8st up if u are interested or have any questions about it, he's very helpful. please dont PM me with questions, i dont work for Jay nor do i know ever in & out of what he does, so i cant really answer the questions asked. Jays very straight up, ask him.

Yes, this thread is real, if you have any questions please post them, or email me directly at: jargon_@hotmail.com

Any vehicle can be legally smogged and registered in California regardless of engine or forced induction.

[Luserkid]

What about cars without engines in them at the moment? Thats where i am right now. Ill email you though so its more private, although i did PM you.

The vehicle must have an engine for the smog exemption to be 50 state legal.




Gentlemen, this thread specifically states California in the title, this thread is a California only smog thread, many states do not require emissions testing, California does. In California, any vehicle can legally pass smog, if the proper emissions controls and fuel conversion kits are jointly used in order to meet and exceed California emissions mandates. Yes, any aftermarket turbo kit can pass California smog. Please read the thread title before posting comments and suggestions that are irrelevant to the thread topic.

What if you have a jdm motor that will pass smog but wont pass visual? anything that can be done about that? I know that JDM motors can be converted to USDM specs and BAR'D but i have a 00ek and its almost impossible to find year 00 stuff? if its a jdm motor can the ref tell what year the motor is from? assuming that i get USDM ecu's and smog stuff for the correct year could i smog an older motor in my car. example, 98 and up GSR or type r motors that are obd2. thanks.

Lets get some answers going people!

[Syndacate]

So it's basically using the DMV's system to try 'n expletive the DMV.

It's a loophole for all intents and purposes...

[lthao61]

hey hazw8st, didnt you also post in a topic about getting grey market cars legalized in the USA?

i cant seem to put the title thing together though. to register your car you would have to list a place of residence in the state you reside. well if the car has two titles isnt that fraud? or is the one of the title in someone else's name?

im a lil confused.

to get your car ref'd the motor you have in the car has to be the same year or newer.

[lthao61]

there are some places in cali where you dont have to smog your car.

but you would have to have residence there.

It depends how he does it for u (depending on what u want). For me all i wanted was smog exemption (not carb exemption). Meaning that i never have to smog my car, but i can still be cited by a cop for having non-carb approved parts, but that not much of an issue for me as i can kind of avoid that.

But that way requires only one plate. The CA specifically. U keep ur same plate, same registration address, same owner, same everything.

Now to make ur car smog & carb exempt requires ur car to be titled in CA plus another state like arizona or nevada.

Again just contact jay for help or to get it done.

Now to make ur car smog & carb exempt requires ur car to be titled in CA plus another state like arizona or nevada. normally this is not possible, but jay has a way that makes it legally possible. u run the out of state plate on ur car, this means ur car is not under the juristiction of CA vehicle code. So u can do what ever u want to it. But u cant get in trouble for living in CA & having out of state plates becaue ur car is actually registered in CA too. I did not go this way so i dont know all aspects of it, but that should give u a good idea.

More info on this. My friend in Nv was forced to give up the Ca registation and get Nv just for a speeding ticket. So how would this work here in ca?

Here are the issues when registering a vehicle out-of-state. When a California vehicle is registered out-of-state, the CA registration is cancelled, the plates must be surrendered, the vehicle must pass a VIN verification, the car must undergo emissions testing (if applicable) and the vehicle must have an out-of-state mailing address.

With CARB exemption, the vehicles owner registers the car out-of-state using their present California address, you keep your CA plates and valid registration, indefinite out-of-state smog exemption status, and voila... CARB exemption because the vehicle would display out-of-state plates, and not CA plates, law enforcement officers cite CA vehicles for CARB incompliance, not out-of-state tourist vehicles that don't have to abide by CARB mandates.

If a cop pulls you over, you give him out-of-state registration, your present proof of insurance, and your present CA drivers license. Keep the CA plates and registration stashed in a safe place. The only citation the cop can give you is not having valid proof of CA registration, and whatever moving violation he established his (PC) probable cause inorder to legally to pull you over.

Go to some of the local carshows and look around at the street legal big turbo cars, they all have out-of-state plates. The best out-of-state plates to get are OR, NV and UT. Please keep your CA plates paid and up-to-date. Insurance is unaffected because follows the VIN #, and not the plate number......
