      Its not bad man. R34 was the best Driving car I've driven. In case your wondering for a EP3 RHD conversion. The front clip will cost about $8000. Labor is extra unless you were gunna do it yourself. That was my plan for my car but they want ridiculous amounts of money for EP3 Type R Clips. Laterz

      Then again, I always drive using the "look ahead" approach used by autocrossers so your experience may vary...

      As far as making a left is concerned, it's not about the a pillar being in the way, it's about being on the wrong side of the car to see oncoming traffic. Even in a LHD car, sometimes you have to start to turn a little bit to be able to see. I've done it once a long time ago and if I had to drive a RHD car again, I'd rather make 3 rights than a left.;)

      well i think right hand drive is more comfortable... feels akward at first but being in new zealand for couple of months got me used to it and lhd back here got me confused when i came back...

      is it legal to have RHD here in U.S.? cuz i would really like to go back to it rather than have LHD... plus not many people have those either.

      yeah everything is the same... shift pattern, pedals etc... except for the lights and turnsignal and all that... its switched around... it doesnt matter where you go in the world turn signals will always be closest to the door....

      My Type-R Civic is RHD as i'm in the UK, and it's the only RHD car i own! I've been driving LHD since i got my license at 17, as my dad had a few american cars and no UK RHD cars.

      I never knew it was illegal to have RHD in the US. So what happens with the RHD Skylines? As they didn't do a RHD Skyline did they?

      RHD is not illegal in the U.S. You just have to go through many many different things to be able to have the car registered and insured.
