chances of a RHD s13 in texas

[MtxWrl]

i know here in cali it is next to impossible to get a RHD anything here, does anyone know if it is possible to make it happen in texas? the reason i ask is because i got a relative in texas so i could use them to register the car and insure it.

[Antone]

Hey i got a friend that just did the sr swap nd bought a front clip...so now he has this front end which is RHD...Dash is in perfect condition too....Its in LA jus let me know if u want to get more info....email- [email protected]

Why in gods name would you want a RHD car?

Other then for your japanese friends that visit and want to drive...

[s14alex]

I saw some dude with a black RHD s13 at a drift event in Mineral Wells.

[Maeda]

I see dudes with RHD cars at drift events in the wall.

[Sil Beer S13]

I see dudes with RHD cars at drift events in the wall.


hahaha i see that as well!!!

I have to agree - left hand unprotected turns would be come dangerous as shit, then the whole drivethrough issue, and the extra attention from the cops. Then again I guess if you are willing to do that for some JDM bling shit... uhhh :goyou:

[nrg]

Do you plan to deliver mail?

[FRpilot]

slim to none...

[Caps Lock]

Why? If you're dying for RHD S13, convert it from a USDM s13.

[Phlip]

Do you plan to deliver mail?
+1 the coolest mail delivery drift car EVER

[ranisron]

get a USDM subaru outback wagon (US Mail)... shit is so "JDM" out of the factory.

What's the point of having RHD in the States? so you could look "cool"... you know that also means the possibility of your car gets broken into / stolen is higher?

[brainfood]

I also know someone with a full rhd conversion in socal. Just convert a usdm car if you want it. I thought about buying an actual s14 silvia from japan for my track car. The RHD isnt the reason nor would it bother me but I can get one for reasonably priced so I get the chassis and sr20 already in the car for cheaper than buying a usdm and swapping.

[JaeTea]

Attention in the highschool parking lot FTW!!!

:fawkd:

[Rkesh88]

theres an r32 at bestbuy by me all the time and its rhd, its pretty hot

[Maeda]

Wonderful. Good for you. Really.

RHD is unsafe(in the us). I know you all have a friend that blah blah nobody gives a crap.
You ever try and drive RHD? It sucks I tell you what.

[trsilvias13]

If you get a rhd car at least get something exotic. Meaning if you can buy the equilavent in the USDM, do not get it. Get something like a r32/r33/r34 or a s15. I know it will make it more "hot" but a rhd s13 is already is.

[lilredstiffy]

theres a fried chicken chain here in baton rouge, and a couple of the locations have drive thru on both sides of the building

this is the only thing i can think of where having a rhd car would be badass. no one is ever in the line on the left side of the building..instant chicken dinner motherfucker.

everything else about having a rhd car you can get lhd here is about as cool as hammer pants. the only and i mean ONLY people that would appreciate a lhd s13/s14 are socially challenged 17-25 year olds who like anime, ebay, and are members of at least 100 different message boards.

[tunedis95]

flame on biaches....here is my car......missing a few little things to complete the whole thing .....i now have the center console, and center plastic....and swaped my hand break already..........and its legal here in texas....

big attention getter....i've never been offered money for my car until the rhd swap......i don't regret it one bit....i even get free food through the drive through.....

[ThatGuy]

Wow, you're cool.

[Maeda]

Yup, he's obviously a cool guy.
I mean he gets attention. Right...

I could put the flamming corpse of tony bennet on my car like a prize elk, all the while bumping 2pac while I wear a pink tutu. That would get me attention, and probably even money offered to me, but would that make me cool?

[fatalfury64]

I agreed with tr. Unless it's an exotic car like a skyline or s15, it ain't worth getting.

[mjjstang]

RHD=tarded, imagine some japanese fella converting to LHD ooo all the americans do it. well yah its so mundane here, and over there its so mundane for rhd, RICER shit.

[RHD-180sx]

Hey MtxWRL get what you want for you are the one who will drive it and love it.As for everyone of you haters having a RHD does get you attention just like have a loud exhaust or god forbid neon under glow.I got my car for the simple fact that it was cheaper then any other s chassis it came with a blacktop non-vvt sr20det,cusco bolt in roll cage and strut bars,HKS frontmount,Tein HE's,very rare sprint hart wheels,Blitz turbo timer and hks boost control.The car has zero rust and 29,000km yes all this for 9500 hundy so if you want a rhd conv. or a real deal JDM car why not ...should you spend 3500 on a usdm then 3000+ for the motor then 2000+ for paint 1500 for a kit 2000 for wheels and tires 1200 for suspension.any way winning an argument on the internet is VICTORY OVER HORSESHIT.

Even if you get a 180sx or whatever you will might still have to spend 2000+ for paint, 1500 for a kit, 2000 for wheels and tires, 1200 for suspension. Because it not like the 180sx with aftermarket stuff. The only thing you get is the motor already dropped in and RHD.

[RHD-180sx]

well i like stock lookin cars not into big kits, simple lips and such is what i like, mine is a Kouki KRPS13 only thing missing was the wing and rear aero valance but most i have seen have come with lips or have a kit but what ever just get what you like and who give a shit what someone you will most likely never meet in person thinks.

[nrg]

Get a RHD if you're ugly, because the attention will be off the chart y0!

[tunedis95]

WOW.......lol....ya crack me up.....i meant nothing like what you all are talking about.....Keep flamming if you have no life......and get all excited by insulting people just to make yourself happy......sorry not all people are narrow minded....blaaa.....what a waste of time.......

[ThatGuy]

You're right. RHD is a waste of time. Unless you're a mailman. We aren't being narrow minded, we're being realistic.

[RHD-180sx]

waste of time to you is a dream car to someone else, it comes down to this IF you had the money to buy a RHD JDM car you would.IF you had the money to do a RHD conversion you would.just like if you had money for a sr20det you would buy it right? right.Haters come in all shape's and size's some hate black people, some hate those that can afford something that they can't and some people hate just because they have some sort of power on some website forum and thats all they will ever have.

[ThatGuy]

Actually? No. I don't want an SR20. I don't want to convert my car to RHD. I might be interested in buying a RHD car, but only if it's a R32 v-Spec II. You see we aren't all haters. Some of us actually form our opinions based on good sense. I'm sure you love your car, and that's great. I love my car, and that's great. You don't have to like mine, I don't have to like yours. But i'm not gonna sit here and preach about how cool my car is because my steering wheel is the left side.

[RHD-180sx]

i was not pointing fingers at anyone i have seen this come up here a couple of times and it is always the same "its gay""mailman car" blah blah blah
i had said earlier that get what you want and can afford and love it ,drive it,get whatever you want out of it.It always seems to be the same ol' story again again people raggin on someone for have a or getting a RHD JDM car.
As for me i got mine because it was way cheaper then buy a US model and saving money and going thru the all the work of swapping everything out to get it to where i wanted it.I got a car that was built from the factory with simple bolt on after market parts with low miles like 18,000 mi no rust no damage drives like a champ.It just seems that people hate for the simple fact that they are jealous that someone out in the world is getting something they can't.
so if you posted you got a r32 and people where sayin its gay are you some kind of wanna be cool guy mailman you wouldn't care?
i really thought this site was for help out other nissan owners and such in stead we are turning into HonduhTech .....but oh well WHO GIVES A SHIT :rant:

[ThatGuy]

No I wouldn't care. If you can't handle the negative with the good, don't ever communicate with anyone. I've recieved plenty of shit talking for my car. Doesn't bother me at all. I've recieved praise for my car as well. Woo-Hoo. Praise doesn't buy parts. As far as this becomming Honda-Tech? I couldn't tell you, I've never been there, and don't plan to go. This is Zilvia, always has been, always will be. Love it or leave it, it'll still be here.

[RHD-180sx]

ok thats not what i was sayin just the fact that people seem to hate for no reason.It is personal choice if i couldn't of afforded it i would not have gotten it but i could so i did.I am not lookin for praise or any kind fo trophy, i like to drive my car and that's all i am saying get what you want love it ,drive it and don't give a shit what someone else thinks.
As far Honduh tech all my friends have hondas and hate HT because everyone rips each other apart and its just dumb.
one last question why don't you want a SR20det?i had a ka powered s14 and i hated it sounded like poo had 100,000+ miles on it i have seen what some have done ITB,turbos ,and what not but i have to say the SR crushes it.

[ThatGuy]

If you want to know about my car, click my signature. I'm not going to turn this silly LHD vs. RHD Thread into a SR vs. anything Thread.

[Phlip]

Creative quoting, I will quote a couple of your posts, editing NOTHING from them and highlighting what I choose to respond to:

No, that is not what you said... In fact, actually, what you said was this:
waste of time to you is a dream car to someone else, it comes down to this IF you had the money to buy a RHD JDM car you would.IF you had the money to do a RHD conversion you would.just like if you had money for a sr20det you would buy it right? right.Haters come in all shape's and size's some hate black people, some hate those that can afford something that they can't and some people hate just because they have some sort of power on some website forum and thats all they will ever have.
What I took from this was that you felt that EVERYONE who could afford the shit that you have should desire them enough to want them enough to get them. Further, I read into this that because YOU assume that Barry CAN'T afford it, he will abuse his authority on the forum against all those who can.
I call bullshit, because the fact, as was stated by you yourself, that you only got it the way you did because it was your least expensive option.
Now, in the face of this, people who do not see the fundamental practicality or desirability of this is "hating" on you and those who do want this stuff?
Do NOT turn this any further into a this vs. that thread, we are not here to discuss the merits of RHD vs. LHD or KA vs. SR or JDM vs. USDM in this thread.

Besides, you are not conducting a very consistent debate here, buddy.

[RHD-180sx]

i was makin the point that people (not Thatguy) seem to hate on others that can not afford something (SR,RHD JDM )what ever the case my be,for the simple fact that it always comes down to money.If i had the money i would have bought a skyline but i couldn't, i could afford the car i bought so i did.I am not here to start a this vs. that arguement .In some people's eyes this whole car culture is a waste of time and money why do we need to rip each other apart ? I know the new thing to hate on is JDM why? Is it because it cost more or because it becoming more popular?These are just questions and as far i as i have learned in 33 years on this planet questions never hurt anyone.

[Maeda]

We dont hate on JDM. We also don't hate on poor people.

We hate on lame fucks that swear to god their cool jdm swag makes them cooler then the rest of the world.

I could afford a rhd 10x over. Nobody gives a fuck, and nobody hates on me because of that. I didn't do it and why do I still hate on RHD? because its flat out dangerous. Since when is it cool to endanger the rest of us with your ass backward car?

Get what you want. I'm all for it. Expect us to like it? We won't. That's the magic of individuality.

[RHD-180sx]

why do I still hate on RHD? because its flat out dangerous. Since when is it cool to endanger the rest of us with your ass backward car?



how is it dangerous?if you drive like a jackass yes anything can be dangerous skateboard,rollerblades,pogo stick....
i find it much safer when getting out of the car on city streets right next to the curb (where no cars seem to be)just step out onto the sidewalk.
if and when you get pulled over the peace officer gets to stand on the side of the road where it is safe,no rubber neckers crashin into to him.
it takes like a hour to get use to and that's it.
What proof do you have that it is less safe then a LHD?

There is people with the penchant for driving like jackasses with their new JDM tyte shit, the same individuals who merge in and out of traffic in an unsafe manner because they cannot see the road properly from the wrong side of their cars, and the danger they present to other drivers trying to merge, for the same reason.
Besides, do you know why people in Europe and neighboring Asia drive on the left side of the road from the right side of the car?
See, in medieval times, the vast majority was, as it is now, for people to be right handed. When one travelled, they were in their own best interest to be able to charge your opponent with THEM on your right-hand side for an attack. Sitting on the left-hand side of the road and on the right-hand side of your transport is the best means to this end. (thanks, Evan)

Do we need more?

Wait, no we don't.
