San Diego Meet

[neuticle]

Hey. Not sure where else to post this, but I'm a new guy in town.

Right now driving around my daily driver which is completely stock, still with a Utah license and Utah plates... if i brought my Nissan down from Utah so I had something fun to drive, would I get harassed by cops even with Utah tags/dl?

built SR, GT28R, full race mani w/ external waste gate, JIC FLT-A2's, z32 brakes, 16x8.5 k1's, lots more, all built myself. I didn't drive it on the street much back home, but it's fully registered. Interior is completely stripped out, I was mostly using it as my track car at Miller Motorsports Park... but now that I'm living here, with great weather all the time I really want to bring it down.

Thoughts? Anywhere to really use a car around here? Track/Autox? I'm not so much into drifting... Sorry for the new guy questions.

If you're high-shifting, revving at lights, or weaving through freeway traffic on a regular basis you'll probably get hassled. If you play it cool and pick your spots to enjoy the car you should be okay. I have Montana plates on my S14 and haven't been pulled over or followed yet, and cops are all over my area. It's more how you drive than the plates you display.

But with that said, you will get a fatty ticket if you admit to residing in California and keeping your vehicle regged out-of-state. You're supposed to transfer everything over (including your driver's license) after 10 days I think. If you still have a Utah driver's license, you could play tourist but if you get a ticket and they pull you over again later on, I think they'd catch on pretty fast.

Hope that helps
