I'm more concerned with you screwing shit up for ALL rhd cars, by going balls deep into scetchy waters. I know i will not be happy if i get harrassed in my legal rhd converted car because you just had to drive that illegal skyline on the street.

You knwo as well as everyone else it's one of the most illegal cars to "import" and really there is no way to know how this shit will end. All i say is don't push the cops buttons on this.

Why does the legality of any of this matter to anyone besides Max? If he drives this for 2 years, with no problems, I can't wait to see the bandwagon. He is testing the waters for EVERYONE (that would be interested in a Skyline). If he fails, he loses a grip of money and we all know it wont work. Within the scene, we all modify our cars to basically come to the standards of Japan.

Examples:

1. How many people have modified their crash beam to fit a bigger intercooler/bumper?

2. How many have removed their cats on their cars?

3. How many people have non-DOT seats?

4. How many have cars lowered/raised out of DOT standards?

5. How many of our cars meet EPA requirements?

Point being we all operate cars that we have modified from DOT standards, to sub-par. I'm sure the first person in the area to run an open downpipe was scared, but after no issues, we all have.

Max has a unique situation. If he gets into an accident, he is screwing the other driver over, as well as himself. He will have to pay out of pocket for repairs to both vehicles. If Max gets pulled over and the cop happens to know a thing or 2 about JDM cars (there are a few that I know in town that will see that car, and know it isn't legit), he is going to have to export the car back to Canada (something he has already said wouldn't be tough to do). If what he is doing is 'stupid', then let him make the mistake....But again, I bet this isn't the last Skyline to get imported in the area if he DOESN'T get caught.

His 'stupidity' is testing waters for all of us.

Pretty sure i've broke all these rules a lot and never had a problem.. lol

LOLZ... and ppl say i'll never finish my car, he's had this for how long...

[capitlj]

Is there a law that specifically states the controls must be on the left hand side of the car? I can't see any reason there would be.

[thrash]

Well, I care a lot to see how this turns out since I'd rock the shit out of an R32 GT-R if I thought I could get away with it. I was just trying to make clear to anyone that might not know... about what kind of spikes are covering the torture dildo uncle sam will shower-rape you with if he gets wind of this and decides to flex.

If you insurance company is willing to write you a liability policy on a car that has never been crash tested in the US, and you didn't lie to them about anything when registering it, then that is awesome, and makes doing this a lot more plausible.

I don't disagree with the assessment that we've got someone pioneering something awesome. I hope it works out and that nobody gets screwed. I hope to be a lame skyline bandwagoner someday

I also don't think anyone could give a shit about RHD cars or conversions that were based on body styles that actually passed FMVSS tests and have US VINs. THis will have no bearing on RHD or RHD-swap cars.

No laws about rhd cars. But just so everyone knows that any rhd converted car has to have a saftey check after it is done by the highway patrol. If it does not look safe or proffesional they will not pass. (That's what the office just told me at the highway patrol office) so those of you doing/done the swap your car is as illegal as mine!

Not only will it be "illegal", but the insurance company will become a major pain in your ass when you wreck it and get injured due to a poor job of the conversion(aka firewall comes loose and ruins your legs, or kills you or what ever).

Really? Because im pretty sure its perfectly legal for a police officer to pull you over with the 'suspicion '** that you were not wearing your seat belt**. It would be mighty easy to just say that was the reason...

Not in ND, seatbelt is not a primary offense.

Pretty sure it's not illegal to swap firewalls or front clips. And as you said there nothing that says it's illegal to be rhd. Now getting an inspection that's old news. still doesn't make it illegal. People clip cars everyday, the car still has a LEGAL vin and has been registered legally.

Hey I was just explaining what the ndhp told me. They just said if there is a modification to the firewall it needs an inspection. Never said your swap wouldn't pass.
