91 Skyline GTR Build Log

[brynm 10+ year member]

Do a search online, there's 11 different Skylines on eBay right now. RHD's are showing up everywhere in Canada now, I'm from a city of 45,000 in Saskatchewan and there are a couple Skylines and a dealer that specializes in RHD vehicles. It seems you can't go two blocks without seeing one.

I hope that car doesn't end up being a trailer queen, I keep hearing rumors that some provinces (British Columbia mainly) are trying to ban RHD cars because of the high number of head on collisions because of the lack of visibility when passing on the highway.

Try it yourself sometime when your behind something like a semi lean over towards the passenger side of your car and then see how far you have to cross the line to see enough to pass. When I tried that I was over the line almost 2 feet and that was on a straight road and I still wouldn't have been in the same position as if I was driving a rhd car.

yes i hear that too. and that is why we are getting the indash screen. and eventually a rear view camera in the front bumper on the left side. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
