I really don't see how it wouldn't fit.

the guy at the shop said he did a windshield swap on a skyline, and he had to get the window from japan because there was a slightly different curve from it being RHD. (something to do with glare for the driver or something)

anyone got any ideas?

I really dont think it would be different. Plus there are people that do the RHD swap on there cars here and there arent any glare problems.

the only reason why i would see that you would need a windshield from japan or specifically out of a silvia is if it had HUD.... if it doesnt, then no, you can use a regular usdm windshield. im not going by fact.... im going by common sense, so %99.999999999 sure.
