I talked with a guy that owned an R33 at a car show for a while, he said he's backed through so many drive throughs

He told us him and one of his buddies played a pretty good prank on a McDee's once. They went through the drive-through window normal, with the guy in the passenger seat ordering and holding an extra steering wheel up like he was driving, then at the first window, he handed the wheel off to the person at the window because it was "in his way" and they drove to the 2nd window, leaving the person at the 1st THOROUGHLY confused

He said they would also screw with random people in traffic by having the passenger hold the extra wheel and act like they were driving, until someone in a car alongside would look at them and then he would act like the wheel came off and he was panicking, thus freaking out the person in the other car

That's just what I was thinking. When I was in FL I would see all kinds of RHD cars, including GTR's.

I actually had a Canadian Acura 1.6EL. The original owner said he had no problem at all registering it in FL. However, I think the only two things that allowed me to regiter it once I moved to Cali were:
1) It was registered in another state, and
2) It has US EPA emissions stickers on the hood (as do most/all [?] Canadian cars)

If you are going to spend a shiet ton of money and time importing a car, it might as well be something flippin sweet like a GTR or newer FD

as for the 250gt...seems utterly pointless

what does it have like 200hp? its just gonna be a slow g35 with cloth seats, nissan emblems and the wheel on the wrong side..i mean if you could really get it over here for 5k, go for it, but i bet its gonna cost like 20k when all is said and done

if i was gonna import a slow jdm sedan it would be a toyota altezza with a 3s-ge that revs to 8500 and gets 35mpg

To be honest,I think the g35 is a better Deal then the jdm cars. Ypu get the 3.5l while most jdm are 2.5 and 3.0. Plus you can only get awd with the 2.5. I would think driving around with the steering wheel on the wrong side would get old after a while. Say bye bye to drive thrus atms food, tolls, paying for parking in lots, etc.
Completely agree. But wow--that's one stripped down 250GT. No cruise or radio controls on the steering wheel FTL.....
