Nothing, but why go out of your way to find a RHD car if you've been driving LHD. RHD is not special, so it makes people ask - why would you?

Not exactly what you're lookin' for, but check back from time to time as their inventory does change.

This is what you're looking for. http://forums.northwestnissans...=9368
It's a great write up and it has a link to the gov't pages. I looked at them all and it's basically that you can't have a RHD vehicle imported unless it's 25+ yrs or older or is a work truck. Altough we have a guy in cincinnati that has a R34 TT Skyline that is imported this year and is of course RHD but he said he spent 70 grand ( 25 for the car and 45 for conversion ) He had to replace all of the windows and pay huge import taxes. Although he is only one of two skylines in ohio. So if ya have the money you can have it done. But do read the link i sent ya it has everything u wanna know.

its probly easier to convert your current car to RHD. Ive seen it done.

Get a 92-95 front clip, cut out the firewall in your car and the clip, and then swap. Also swap the steering system while your at it. Its a huge pain in the ***, tons of work, and lots of welding.

Its gonna be much cheaper to do it that route then import a jdm car. It costs about ~$15k-$20k to import a jdm car into this country. So your $5000 hatchback is gonna end up costing you $20k or more. Its not worth it.

I read that front clips are illegal. This is because you tamper with the vin code on the dash. I read it on that link i posted.

This is very true. The engine code is imprinted on the firewall. However most DMV inspections dont look at that. They will use the VIN on the dash and in the door. There is also the VIN on the front of the car on the bumper support next to the hood latch.

Although since i have an integra dash, i dont have a vin there. I told the California DMV lady my car was broken into and vandalized...so i had to have the dash replaced. She didnt know the difference between a civic and the integra so taht was fine. She then checked the door sticker, and the vin on the firewall.

From what she says...you need TWO vins somewhere on the car....
