Nissan Skyline R34 Automatic & Left Hand Driver?
Is there a Nissan Skyline R34 Automatic & Left Hand Driver? I can't seem to find one around. Please tell me if you know where I can find one in GTA.

r34 skylines are not legal in Canada. And I really don't think you'll find one LHD as well.

Sorry, I meant R33. Is there a left hand driver for it?

The R33 only come in right hand drive, the only way you can get one in left hand drive is to get a conversion kit. It's not cheap, and it just better to get it right hand drive, the car came that way, so i say leave it that way.

I heard about the conversion kit, what is the estimated price for it?

Well, I wanna make sure when I make a left turn, I would be able to see the drivers approaching from the opposite traffic direction. I heard right hand drive cars can easily put people into accident as cars from the opposite direction making a left turn making you unable to see the discreted view.

the fact that skylines are built to a different spec when it comes to safety is more dangerous then the fact that you have less visibility.

only way to get one without converting it to LHD is to order one from Dubai all cars there must be LHD to be drivin and all their skylines they import are converted.

my 300zx is right hand drive and it's not a big deal man. i was worried about it too.. but after awhile your gonna love the fact that it's right hand drive.. makes your ride that much more unique. get a RHD you won't regret it.

Why don't you just learn to look further away before you actually get to the turn, then you can anticipate whether or not someone is coming? And don't just look at the street, look at people crossing, look at small lanes on the side of the road where someone may appear our of nowhere. You can tell a better driver from an amateur driver by this style of defensive driving.

People who complain about driving should just suck it up and learn to drive...

Secondly, why on earth would you want a Skyline in automatic? I can agree if its for a wife, girlfriend, or whatever, but just force 'em to learn manual...
