They can be converted into LHD!

Doesn't look to bad Any idea on the price??

Looks like it had a small engine fire, and was taken off road. Ouch.

The only thing preventing Skylines from tearing up all over all 50 states here (even in a RHD config) is the DOT crast test specs and the EPA pollution control stuff. There is an offical conversion standard for both thanks to www.Motorex.net.
They are legal as long as they've been converted. LHD conversions are available but they were never LHD from the factory. They are still legal in a RHD form as long as the proper conversions to the crash structure and pollution control equipment have been made. Currently the Skyline is the only vehicle that can be converted to DOT spec form and still be a RHD car. All other legal JDM conversions include a conversion to LHD.

The only things making them expensive are the OBD-II Ecus (96+ model year) the crash structure, and the various fees and importations costs that can get pretty rediculous. There's other options becoming available and I'll be sure to post when I get the full 100% BS-free version on what the law is.

Here in Estonia the only way i could register my Skyline is to get a job at the post office and start a job as a mail man That's why mine is in sweden! I looked at the prices for the Skyline on motorex... almost twice the price i payed... and mine was modded...

Actually, I believe them to be LHD available for Europe.

THEY ARE NOT! Skylines were ONLY built in RHD! Only euro models of the skyline are the uk spec cars 100 R33s and 100 R34s if im not mistaking (anyway in very small numbers) and they were RHD too! People have just converted them

[mofojojoho]

I'd buy a Viper with floor damage.. hey it's a viper. Those are really awesome cars.. no need for body modifications.
