it doesn’t matter if its RHD if it’s a JDM car thats what matters… you either go to an insurance company that has the car listed in their system ( which is pointless since it costs an arm and a \*\*\*\*ign leg ) you need to get a appraisal on your vehicle and get and get the car insured based on the appraised price … as for parts GTS parts are much easier and cheaper to find then GTR parts i have found . and since the FD was sold here i assume it is even easier to find parts for / ---

Just start calling around. In my search, i found that some companies wouldnt insure the JDM vehicle unless you were already on a policy with them (Statefarm), while some companies just wouldnt touch them at all. I called about 10 places and found a few that would insure me. And yes, the cars do need appraisals no matter what to get insurance. Im going with a company called Zehr insurance. For them to insure me they need all the regular stuff and the appraisal and photos, which the appraiser should take. ---

its not the fact that these cars are RHD that is the problem, it’s because they don’t have valid USDM vin’s that makes it a problem for insurance companies ---

Most JDM cars have 12-13 digit vin’s… If you’re having difficulty; ask about a 19a insurance policy based on appraisal value…
