All are converted from RHD to LHD. The first was Henri's 1989 R32 GT-R in Finland, and unlike the ones in middle-east, this one is done properly. http://www.helan.to/henri/frame-v.html

BLU CIVIC, is right. That car has been converted. There is no way in hell I would drive that car either. I have heard of people over there having the steering leting go, because the workmanship of their conversions SUX. Hence sami's remark about it being done properly.

So, really no need to explain

Notice the guy has said the car does 9's and 201mph!!! Aint that a little fast?
The siguel racing RX7 has just done a flat 7 sec 1/4 and his mph was only 199!!!!!

well technically they're has been a skyline gtr that was left hand drive from the factory i know you'll say it's bogus but it's true, in the 2001 tokyo motor show nissan displayed it's factory built left hand drive skyline gtr r35 concept- now you're gonna tell me it doesn't classify because it's a concept right well it is from nissan and it has already been built since two year's ago so yes it is possible, i don't know if they're selling a concept yet though

but i'm sure someone will be driving one here in the states,U.S.

Welcome back Evo.

I think the man was refering to the older Skylines

I see you have changed your car data under your name.

Good for you.

well you know owning a tamiya castrol r34 gtr has brought me back into the gtr craze and so has my subaru 2.5rs with mod's and a nx 75 shot efi stage one upgrade, phooey i'm about to sell it anyway's only been able to run low 13's, never seem to reach those low 9's I was alway's fantisizing about.

i think it's best to leave it to the pros, anyone want a xs engineering blow off valve?

And the point of having a skyline if its LHD. Not a lot. Being RHD makes up for some of its mysterious roots, about 2/10ths I would say

8/10ths for technology and looks

Evomaniac · #15 03-17-2003, 06:21 PM

hey isn't that concept two year's old already go figure?

hey that skyline that's owned by a arabian is awesome but to much bs, come on you actually believe that you can achieve 1000 hp with shiny chromy engine bit's I don't think so but he does have a nice turbo and rim's and pretty much everything else is nice, that LHD conversion he did on it is awesome I love it, I just hope I get a sky soon you know.

as you can see this "skylineguy" is definetly a rich boy, to check out more pic's go to http://www.toprpm.8m.com/Welcome.htm and that's pretty much it.
