Not bad. Big pain though that you have to import it first and stuff like that. It says you will need to convert it to US specs. What would that consist of?

replaceing ALL the glass to D.O.T safety glass ,EMISSIONS, 5 mph bumpers, etc that's just the stuff that I know of.

If you want a skyline.. there is a company in cali that sells them. All you gotta do it pay the $30,000 - $100,000 price tag and drive home

Not hard at all to turn to us specs, first of all this dude is located in Misawa Air Force Base I been there is in Northern Japan, He will bring this vehicle over here with in days. Changing to US specs is no problem Once the car gets here inspectors inspect the cargo and they take the vehicle to a place that does that for you and yes is going to cost but is not over $3000.00 for us specs. My friend just brought two from Japan. This dude is smart hes trying to sell prior for him coming to the US he probably got if for a cheap price and makins some profit. This car can sell for $35k easily thats a nice car as well. I wish I can go back and get me one, my other friend already purchased one, except his wife already lives in Japan.

They're meant for speed not style bro. And at the rate that thing will me moving you won't even see it. But I hate RHD... And a conversion for that costs $13,000+.

its crazy to think that an R34 imported and converted costs the same as a nsx but yet you dont see any skylines... if i had 90k to spend id take the skyline over the nsx anyday... the nsx is way overpriced. the older model was too plain looking to be in the exotic car category, and price range... if i only had the money imagine the looks you would get driving around in an R34?

I dont think there is a law in US that sas you have to have your car LHD. The black skyline is ugly. I like the never ones like the blue one.

If you had an opportunuty to drive some...you may change your perspective...Sunnys, Silvias, Skylines...they are all awesome and you should see how the young drivers in Japan decorate their rides.

Its not that their bad... I know they're not. Its just that I've grown up in a country that is almost 100% LHD. To switch to RHD would not only be extremely confusing, but to switch to back to LHD for another/next car would completely throw me off.
