yeah someone, at one point was selling everythig you need to do the swap... but yeah, you would need a good amount of stuff though, like your going to have to relocate your sterring colum an pedels an all that good stuff, dosnt dseem woth it to me.

I think they'd notice when u pull in for inspections and your on the wrong side of the car... I mean the people there are usually not so educated as to tell the difference between a stock engine and a swapped one, but i think they'll notice the driver on the wrong side... -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld

its not illegal to have a rhd car, look at the postal delivery trucks. but why you would want to go through all the effort to do a conversion, or even consider it for that matter is beyond me.

I think the swap is easly done for prob around 1k. Its not Illegal to have a RHD drive car and there is no special registering. Gotta get a VIN number from the DMV and its just like any other car. Only thing your gonna have to worry about is Insurence. My Team has 3 RHD cars and the insurence is way to much. GTR R34 Skylines , and a Teggy. The Insurence is well over 1k a month for the sky's and the Teggy is about 500$ or so.

do not buy anything from me. |

Well i know you can import a GT-4 in to the US so why would you not beable to change out the interior doesnt make much sence to me if you can do one but not the other.
