I hear left and right that RHD drives cars are illegal in the USA. Now my questions is, are they illegal b/c THEY ARE RHD or b/c of the other little things? Like 1. NO EGR? 2. The DOT stuff (sorry dont remember anything about that)? Or both, which is it? From what i hear there are people here and there that have RHD cars here in the US even HERE in L.A. Ive seen a R32 around here and i think a R33. But I'm not sure if they have been registered. If registering them were such a big deal are then how are they on the streets? How do i get me a RHD car and get it registered? I'll make most of the changes that are needed like the DOT approved stuff if thats all it takes to register it.

Sorry i was bored as you can tell in the middle of the night so this was troubling my head biggrin.gif

Later,
David

man oh man....

Guys, the easyest wayto get GT4 in states, would be importing one from Europe (LHD) and swaping VIN's!!!! If you have a GT or you can even buy a wrecked ST, swap VIN, and no one will ever know... both car wount be stolen, so no one will miss them, and as long as you will have some wrecked ST or GT you can part it out... so whats the problem??? Easy and good way...

And if you want it to be even more safe, clean the engine number, cuz by the engine number it could be recognised what car it is...

any more questions? biggrin.gif
