      February The independent garages I worked at can manually input a VIN, but dealer systems are different. Not sure about Nissan, but some are tied into the manufacturer. We had a customer from Germany try to trade in a car he imported and we wouldn't allow it because we couldn't get the VIN to come up.

    lol this is so accurate. I've been saying and doing the same stuff for years with my RHD car. The one thing that is definitely the scariest is when I let friends drive the car and they start wandering into the next lane because they automatically want to put themselves on the left side of the lane. They all do it and theres almost been a few accidents because of it.

    I recently imported my mint 1990 Nissan 300ZX TT from Japan myself and I can attest that everything he said on this video is 100% correct. One late night, I was hungry and McDonald's was on my way home but I didn't want to go switch cars and then come back, so I did the reverse drive thru thing too. I will admit, I was a little nervous about not touching the curve.
    Driving a RHD in a LHD world is awesome! Oh, and RHD gets you laid, seriously! :)

  • @coldking1175

    Most of these comments he made about driving a right hand drive, are over exaggerating. I own a 1991 Toyota soarer I imported to Florida, and I find driving on the right hand side easy as hell, plus shifting is alot better. The only issues i get are the wipers/ turning signal, and here in miami burger kings and etc dont sell me food cause they think im joking, checkers is the real MVP.

    I'm on my second RHD car in a LHD country! With the first one I drove over 120k miles for 11 years, and I'm 35 so technically I have much more experience in RHD and I feel better in RHD. Drive-bys are really a problem, but I mostly drive with my family so there is always someone on the left side :) For overtaking I have periscope mirrors on the left side of the windshield, so I can see if a car is coming the other way without peeping.
    Its very manageable to daily RHD car, and much more comfortable in busy city because of parking and getting out on the sideways :)

      +Jesse Grunden agreed. Money is money, but people need to understand that you get paid according to what you're doing. McDonald's is a wonderful first job for a high school student. It teaches teamwork, how to manage your time, how to interact with people and many other basic skills needed in the workforce. But we need to draw that line when we realize that at the end of the day, they're making fucking sandwiches. If you're 28 years old with kids and you've fucked you life up to the point that you're STILL the mcnugget guru, that's all your fault.
      There's people who drive para-transit routes in NYC that make less than $15 an hour and they'd all fucking quit if they realize they can make the same pay working in fast food again. Lol

    Honestly, having to shift with my left hand instead of my right was the easiest change to get used to. I had only driven stick for a year before I bought a RHD MR2, and using my left hand to shift turned out to be second nature.
    The signal being on the other side takes a bit of getting used to. Thinking of the signal always being next to the door helps.
    Turning left at an intersection with a car blocking your view is probably the worst part of it. You just have to be patient and either wait for the light to turn red or wait until no cars are blocking your view.

If you are I a 2 lane road and you want to overtake you cannot creep out to check if there is any on coming traffic if you are sat on the right and driving in the right lane.

On the inside you could purchase a 12" monitor that separates the two views on either side, or you could purchase two 7" monitors and display both views. Or frankly you could just mount one camera on the front "passenger" side bumper that will give you very good view of the opposite side of traffic

      Graham Arnold There would be no reason to put on the hazards. Hazards are for when you're on the side of the road and you need to alert fast moving vehicles. Unless you're going 60 in a drive through, you don't need hazards. And at that point, the person going 60 in a drive through is the hazard.

      My dad taught me how to drive in a LHD manual and I quickly learned the shifting. Then we moved to another country, and I started driving a RHD manual and had to shift gears with my left hand. I drove it for 2 months and I still misshift all the time, mind you, I only drove the LHD car for a week and barely made a mistake. Now I have an automatic and honestly, I'm glad I do. I still enjoy shifting on my motorcycle but now shifting in a LHD car is tiresome for me.

      Eh? I don't really see much of a difference in changing where the steering rack points as to the actual performance of the vehicle and the looks. It shouldn't matter anyhow. The car would of probably have come in left hand drive models if for some reason they hadnt been illegal at the time. No one seems to care if you buy a supra in either left or right hand drive. So why should ir Matter for a skyline? So long as the Americans don't swap in some v8 in there (Murica) as long as the base power plant remains untouched then no sacrilegious lines have been crossed. After all what makes the r32 the as so great is its its amazing power plant. Its superb handling. Not what side the steering rack is on. And I'm sorry if I seem to be rambling. I had a bit to drink but I hope I still got my point across

      Only 3 countries have right hand drive. Most are like the U.S. and left hand drive including say THE REST OF EUROPE besides the UK

      +RedLight GreenArrow more than that. UK, Japan, India, Jamaica, Australia, NZ, and probably some other Caribbean and Asian island countries as well.

      Left Hand Drive converted R32, R33 and R34 are popular in certain Gulf states thanks to some registration laws that prevents RHD cars from getting registered. I have seen some RHD cars such as a Del Sol, an S15 Silvia, some R34 and R32's before but most of Skylines i have seen are converted to LHD. I heard some people saying that it ruins the car in certain ways.
