I did test drive it. I knew it would take some getting used to. I’ve driven RHD in Hong Kong and in Australia. It’s a little different when everyone else is on that side too. Small things like barriers on the left side, all the potholes in the curb lane, transport truck wheels a foot away from me when i’m in the left lane on the highway. hahaha. Don’t get me started on left hand turns DT.

I also test drove it on some bigger side streets so didn’t notice a lot of the other things that you encounter on the main roads.

This thing is so much heavier than the S14, I miss the nimbleness and go kart like feel compared to this. I dunno, I think I just REALLY loved my S14.

I’ll give it more time, maybe i’ll like it more once I get more used to it and once I get some exhaust on that sucker. Sounds sooooo quiet with all the stock exhaust on it. You have one by any chance Matty? 🙂

People should realize getting a stock skyline doesn’t make you automatically faster than a Ferrari. Best of luck… I like my s13 it’s light.

Fast has nothing to with it. I actually don’t know where you’re going with that comment. I don’t think that I mentioned anything to do with speed anywhere.

I hope so!

That last S14 I just sold was truly the only car I’ve ever truly regretted selling.

I hope I do get used to it enough to appreciate the car for all that it can be.

once you get used to the left turns, you’lll realize right turns are actually harder.

and you’ll always turn your wipers on when signalling.

that was the problem I had during a test drive…

and if left hand turns are that hard, get a $75 6" screen, a $75 pinhole camera(12V), and hook that camera up underneath the left (JDM passenger) headlight, for those blind akward turns…
