AHHH CANADA BEING TAKEN OVER!!!!, Too many RHD cars Options

[Valo666]

Holy hell and a half. OK, so this week alone..ive seen 8 JDM Right hand drive cars. I was leavin a canadian tire near my house after gettin some paint and as im driving out a guys pulling in to the parking lot in a '90 Nissan Pulsar GTR. Can you say pocket rocket?? 220HP 4WD car in the size of a Geo Metro. This thing was bloody fast. Ive also seen like 3 JDM 240's, 2 JDM 2.5 RS imprezza's and I saw a JDM 5th gen GT4. It was pretty sexy, just the guy didnt know how 2 drive it, and it was auto. guess its easier to drive than standard when its JDM. Is it just me or should the government change the law so we can get 6gc gt4s in canada??

Yeah, plenty of JDM cars over in here in Vancouver as well. Saw an S13 Silvia (VERY beat up though) and a whole bunch of R32 Skylines. They had a convoy of those things at the last car show...hhahaha

1+? I dont get it... do u just mean you too?

[Valo666]

Yea, I think your seeing more of them in Van City there kardboard because alot of companies such as JSN imports run out of van city. Im lookin at gettin a 90 toyota Seca next year or a 90 toyota supra 2.5 twin turbo imported and its gonna b shipped 2 van city. Its the most direct route.

The same thing is happening here, I know we are RHD anyway but there is a huge influx of JDM cars, you used to be lucky if you saw one a week, I must see at least 20 on the daily rat run to work every day. Good for us though as they are cheap to buy, not alot more to insure and are usually in better condition with lower miles then an equivilant UK car.

The law is that any car 15 years old or more can be legally imported... so just wait a few years and 6GC GT4s won't be a problem to get your hands on.

I'd really love to get one but I don't know if I want to deal with a RHD one. Passing on a single-lane highway must be a big hassle... Going through the drive thru, paying for parking, etc etc... all issues unless you've got a passenger in the car. I'd love to import a LHD one from Europe but I'm sure that would be just as costly as doing a LHD conversion.

valo, where in toronto are you?
in my area a friend of mine has a RHD teg type r.. its pretty nice..
dunno if you've seen it around or not.

5th gen gt4 didnt come with an automatic tranny

wow.. i definitely would be surprised if I drove in the states by what you guys have said. here in aust, (RHD cars), we have way too many skylines, (r32, 33 and 34), silvias (s13, 14 mostly, quite a few s15s too), and a lot of other cars that you guys are seeing as sort of.. 'rare'? i did read a story in a mag once, about a mechanic in the US who imported a R34 GT-R, cost him around US$100,000 to get it imported... whereas here youc an pick them up for around US$50,000 new.
