its almost impossible to legalize a silvia or 180sx here because a) they haven't been crash tested (even though they're the same cars here as in Japan...well same chassis at least), and b) the SR20 has not been smog tested yet. Yay.

Can't be done. SR is illegal. DOT also no longer accepts nonconforming counterpart chassis as ok.

RHD itself is not illegal as far as I know. Just call up an importer and get the parts you'd need to swap and then install them in your present ride. Not sure why you'd want to but to each his own I suppose....Good luck.

yeah, i know RHD is definately not illegal, cause we have some old british cars and they are RHD, but they do fall under the 25 year clause.......

move to mississippi where rednecks give you inspection stickers. they dont give a shizzit, as long as it runs and all of your signals work and your horn you will pass. and about the RHD what about mail carriers they drive RHD and it isn't illegal maybe thats just here in mississippi. i think that is the only positive thing about living here
