“Advantage” may not be the right word but the rationale would be the ability to have a model that was never sold in North America. There are all kinds of cars available in other markets around the world, some RHD, that would be fun to own. I don’t see the logic in owning a RHD Z32 when there are LHD Z32s here. The only caveate is cost for some people which sucks for LHD Z32 owners looking to sell their cars. ---

> [@MyGTR](#): > > The ability to have a model that was never sold in North America. Yes, but that has everything to do with the CAR. Its not an advantage of having RHD. We’re not debating the merit of importing a car (that happens to be RHD) that you can’t otherwise have here. Or at least I don’t think we are… We’re debating the logic of purposely switching a north american car from LHD to RHD. Asinine IMO. ---

why would you convert a LHD car which is designed for our traffic for a more akward RHD car? I bought a 180 because I was too lazy to do the SR swap into the 240. But I would have rather had LHD! Sorry just doesn’t make sense to spend 10 grand on your LHD car just so you can sit on the other side. :rolleyes: ---

The main reason why I bought RHD was because I was looking for something RWD and turbo, and my 180 gave me both those things. Had I have found a swapped 240 in my price range I would have probably bought that. There is always the “cool” factor in owning a RHD car that people always seem to look at. I find it gets annoying with people asking me if my car is a Skyline simply because its RHD. Or should I say “Skyliner”. ---

idk i bought a GTR just because i like to drive on the Right hand side for me it’s very boring to drive a LHD car i like to get asked is that a Skyline and if people can get a ride in it because i have a RB26DETT in it, and also its AWD so i love having the attention. Just sucks when the police pull u over u think u got a ticket but they ask where i got the car. ---
