| 232952 | 2004-04-29 09:41:00 | Hi there, i been looking around on Trademe and there is this Nissan Skyline that was stolen and recovered, but the Chassis number was removed and the guy states that it cannot be put back on the road legally. Skyline (www.trademe.co.nz) I am wondering it is possible to get it back on the road legally. And why exactly it cant be put back on the road at its given state. |

| 232955 | 2004-04-29 10:20:00 | Chassis numbers are required for registration. No number no rego. There is probably some mechanism for providing a chassis number for such situations as per home/custom built cars, cars built up from various wrecks, etc. Best to ask the LTSA or check their site for a FAQ section. Don't touch it with a barge pole unless you can get clear ownership (title) and can legally register it. Has it been de-registered? If it's not right, you could get picked up for receiving or car conversion while quietly toddling around the streets on a pleasant Friday or Saturday evening minding your own business. (being a Skyline and especially if you peak through the steering wheel and wear a baseball cap while driving, you're guaranteed to be stopped ;) ) Let it remain someone elses problem, not yours.

| 232958 | 2004-04-29 21:59:00 | The ad makes it fairly clear that it is priced as parts, not a going concern. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 232959 | 2004-04-29 22:56:00 | If there is "just a hole" where the chassis number was, then that alone likely breaches the structural integrity of the vehicle, assuming the number was cut out of the surrounding bulkhead . Just try cutting holes in the structure of any vehicle and see how quickly it becomes uneconomic to certify or gain a warrant for . I know of a vehicle where the owner decided to fit larger speakers to the back "parcel shelf" and enlarged the holes in the metal panel . Problem is, almost every portion of a vehicle now is structural, including that back parcel shelf . The vehicle was written off, as the cost in having it repaired and then retested and recertified by an engineer as being structurally sound was far more than the vehicle was worth . |

| 232960 | 2004-04-30 06:25:00 | Actually, when did you last see a car with a chassis ? :) Of UK made ones my old 1953 A40 Somerset was the last Austin to have a chassis. |
