never seen one in person before...it's beautiful, but this guy had an uglyazz rice wing. rediculous. it was left hand drive and sounded sweet too. i got alittle ahead of it because of traffic and i think i stopped at a green light to let it pass by and make it's turn, the people behind me must of thought i was a dumbass. they didn't honk though. :pface

All of a sudden paul see's that the bridge they where going over was going up. so whats an all american bad *** supposed to do? Hit that 600 shot of nos, thats what.

Why would someone want to pay that kind of money to get a Skyline and then convert it to left hand drive?

if they can afford to get a skyline, Im sure a LHD conversion isnt too pricey. RHD would be cool, but it would get old after the novelty wears off. I would drive a LHD Skyline in a minute

You have a good point, that would make the car even more rare also.

I've seen more than a couple Accords with the whole Skyline treatment. On a few of them the body work was so clean it could be mistaken, especially from a distance while driving. I just don't see somebody switching their Godzilla to left hand drive.

There is a guy in Cincinnati that has a skyline that he got about 2 months ago. He says that it is easier to drive than a left hand drive car.

Damn there is a company or sho, their name slips my mind, but they were working on a dash to support LHD. Seriously....RHD was going to be my first mod when I got my s13. But I thought about it and it would just get plain old. I have sen pics of a couple LHD Skylines. Godzilla is STILL godzilla even if it is LHD

actually with some custom work and all oem stuff, ive seen it convreted, the only things that need to be moved i believe is the power steering and thats about it, of course its more complicated than i make it sound, but u get the point, but no one as far as like nissan made a LHD kit for it or anything, but think of the easierness (yea its a word?) of a lhd, small things like toll bridges, drive throughs, banking, all this could become a hassle if u had a rhd, however, messing with the hot girl next to you at the redlight would be MUCH easier, just slip the phone number across

yeah i think i'd defenitely dig RHD. if i did have a car come over on a boat, i'd most surely leave it RHD. no quams here.

nIzmo400r - you just hit the nail on the head.

come to think of it...in an R34, i'd have every ***** i could ever want. mmmmmmmm

oh, and rudee023...nice lookin sil80. i dig it.

i've seen accords who try to make their car look like a skyline, i saw one a few weeks ago in riverside. i've also seen the real deal. Here's how you could tell the difference, the real skyline is bigger in size than those who try to make a front wheel drive into a skyline look alike.

i forgot what car dash they use to make a skyline LHD, but for sure, when you do that, not only does the value lesson on the skyline, it also won't perform 100% like original spec.

I would definately switch my car to LHD if I got a Skyline. That would be one of the first things Id do if I got one. Which I never will, so oh well. It would just be a pain in the arse to go thru the mcdonnalds drive thru in reverse. ;)

i saw one in person in front of my old high school this one day during my senior year. it was a blue color..it looked really nice. and then yesterday i saw two trucks carrying a whole bunch of subaru sti's...i was more excited over the subaru's than i was over the skyline.

Yeah I hear that. I am not skyline happy anymore. I like my s13. Besides I can have Skyline power in my 240, so why bother???

I remeber when I was moving from Cali to ND, I was at a rest stop and parked next to an NSX. I was drooling everywhere. I took out my handy disposable camera and started posing next to it with my wife taking pictures. It was black and sexy as hell. Cant find the camera to this day though:(
