Planning on buying a M'Rexed R33

[meowth]

I am going to buy an R33 GT-R Vspec from a guy in cali who says it is fed legal. he is going to email me the bond release and hopefully i can get it. my biggest concer is the RHD and how hard it is to adapt and if it is safe on roads, almost daily. i really want the car, but don't want to wreck it. INFORMATION PLEASE!!!!

If thats your biggest concern, you shouldnt be anywhere near a Skyline

Well i have the money for it, and have never been in a RHD car before, and was just checking out if it was hard to get used to. Just a question...what should my biggest concern be? It is a Fed legal car. I have seen the bond release and everything

Driving a RHD car doesn't take long to get used to. Just remember these things.

1. Your turn signal lever is on the right side, wipers are on the left side of the steering wheel. How goofy it looks to turn on your wipers when you want to turn...I know, I have done it when I go back to the states.

2. You are now shifting with your left hand. The shift pattern is exactly the same as it is in US cars. First is far left and up. Also, the gas, brake and clutch are in the same place.

3. Driving a RHD car can be a PITA when turning left as you don't have the vantage point of seeing around on-coming traffic. Be careful. Drive throughs, ATMs and toll booths can be a major problem if you are by yourself.

4. Get used to the GT-R before driving like stole it. If it's stock, it still has near 300HP. Combine that with being on the opposite side of the car and it could kill you.

Another nice little feature on JDM cars, you don't have to have the clutch pushed in to start it. As long as you are in neutral and the hand brake is up, just put the key in and start it. You do have to have it depressed (you dirty rotten clutch, I hate you...get it...depressed?) if you are in gear though.
