John
I went through the same thing as you a couple months ago, making all of the same mistakes. You can reference my post in the registration section. You will have to add wiper and heat shields at the very least. Getting the car properly set up to pass 1991 emission will be near to impossible. I strongly suggest Winslow over Morristown (Asbury huge mistake). |

I made a call last night, it appears Morristown had 11+ feet of water in the building (across and down the street as well) from Irene. Timeline for reopening (or if they even will reopen) is unknown at this time. Bill S. |
Yeah, awesome right! So, I guess it's winslow, but I first would have to figure out how to do all this work.

Might want to call them: Salvage 609-567-0190 Hi-Rise 609-567-0646 Office 609-567-8873 550 Spring Garden Rd Ancora NJ 08037 On a side note, when I just tried the Morristown enhanced inspection location, the main office number (973-631-6584) all I get is static on the line. You would think that they would have it forwarded to another location by now. Bill S. |
its not only hard getting your car into the system in NJ.....its a pain in the arse transferring a car from NJ to PA.
i had to call my state rep to get my title transferred. all cars coming from NJ are on a permanent flag in PA. physical inspection of vin and title is required. if no official vin tag is present.....your SOL In some circles NJ residents refer to residents of PA as wood-tics, well that may be so......but in PA the ongoing statement is "if the east coast was to receive an enema, it would be inserted into NJ" the bureaucracy runs deep in NJ, no matter where you live, be thankful your not transferring a gun. as far as the car it may be cheaper to rent an apartment in PA title it there and enjoy the car.......i love government....we need more of it......it enhances our lives so much. |
Oh yeah, Mr Mustang, did you ever find out which body & chassis I had with my FFR #, I just spoke with a "Tech" over there & he had no idea. Also I have ceramic coated pipes, would i still need the shields?

I just went through this whole process, please listen to me. Before you do any work on your car talk to the individual that is going to inspect the car (whether Morristown or Winslow) , NOT someone at the Trenton DMV. Ask specifical what he will be looking for. The easy fixes that Mr. Mustang mentioned are not the issue, emmissions are. Unless that 1991 block has all the slog controls devices physically on the car it will not pass the safety inpection period! That doesn't just mean catalytic converters. PCV value, EGR, cats, ...etc. And if they are there you still have to pass emmissions for a 1991 car.
I sent you a PM if you want to discuss further. |
just ordered cats & wipers from FFR, 700 bucks!
so, my frame # is FFR1004508R0 Mr. Mustang do you know which chassis set I have MK2 or 3 |

John, you might be throughing good money after bad. The real problem is the engine not the wipers.

Thanks bill,
What is a steering shaft rag joint, & where is it? |

As for the above mention of the engine, as long as the inspection station (not Asbury) sees that catalytic converters inline, they should pass it for the emissions of that year of the block. Heck, even without the converters installed I've gotten FI cars to pass the emissions tests of NJ. Bill S. |
I also heard from many mechanics that it actually may pass emissions At the inspection station. The guy joe in asbury kept saying "i like to see those things". So aparrently its not a law just what he likes to see. He said that about many items on my car.

He ownes that car s a private individual but works for an ebay dealership that sells cars they got from insurance companies. I had originally brought it into DMV in eatontown & just said I need a title. There was no year in the spot where it says year PLUS the make & model just read Sp. Const.
Either way I have requested my paperwork back since it does no good just to let it sit there since I will need to do these repairs no matter what. In the mean time, when I get the title back, perhaps I should just start from scratch & try it over at eatontown again? what do you think? |
Bill, you are correct If John had simply gone to the DMV with his 2005 PA registration they would have given him a 2005 NJ registration no questions asked. The problem is when he goes to get the car's emmissions tested. Not only will his car have to comply with 2005 emmission standards all 2005 vehicles have an onboard computer that the state or local inspection site uses. There are still garages that do the tailpipe sniffer test but they cannot just choose which car they use the sniffer test or the onboard computer test. To use the sniffer test on a 2005 car you must have a special registration to do so.
Bill I understand you have done this many time either way, but how long has it been? Maybe you have a special relationship with your NJ DMV that most people don't have. I am speaking from very recent experience. I took your specific advice about a year ago and for me it was the wrong solution. I only want to make sure no one makes the same mistakes as I did. I am one of the few people to recenty go through the revamped NJ registratin policy for specialty vehicles. |
