$23g saved up, eh.....well keep on savin little boy. And by the way, Conversion Cost at the bottom is not for RHD to LHD conversion, its to legalize it to use in the US.

Yo, if you wait for two more years (if you live in Canada), you can get on legally into the country, right hand drive and all. You see the CMVSS code for this divine country of ours states that if a car is 15 years old or older, there are no restrictions as to specs or importation, and the only thing you have to do is get an importer to bring it across. Of course you have to pay the duty and taxes, but there is no requirement to convert to LHD or bring the car up to Canadian road standards. This is because the car will be registered as a track only or a collector car. If you register as a colllector, you can only log 100 km/year, so I suggest you register as a track car. 2005 or later is the time to save for cuz the 1989-1990 Skyline R32 Gtr and GTS models will be able to come across. 2007-2008 for the R33 and 2015 for the R34. So do like me,save you schekels and wait a year! I'll see you at the track in my Black R32Gtr Vpsec 2!

dont try driving it on the road - or telling to many people about it

if you put tags on it - one day you will wake up and the car will be gone

Don't get me wrong, I don't have mine yet. I'm waiting for 2005 and getting her all in one shot, no mods or build time required. I just specify what port of entry I want and I pay the fees up front. Then when she arrives I get her inspected and the tags are put on( or in) and I drive her home. As to the car theft arena, you all can kiss my ***, and stay the **** away from her! You couldn't get close anyway, she'll be tucked away somewhere nice and safe! Cost for all this is going to be about 26g CDN dollars as I'm getting her from England, not Japan. That includes the fees for import and licencing.

if you had 23K and only paid 5800 for shell, you should have bough a RB26DET not that RB20DET. Let see some pictures of that R33
