Hey, welcome to SAU. Its good to see a fellow X***Xer here. But im not really straight edge. :)

Good choice on a skyline, but good luck getting one in America, apparently there is only 1 place that is allowed to import them called Motorex.

Welcome Mist...

I hope you can get that Skyline! I hear they're not so easy to get. Good luck.

Btw, is it possible in the US to drive "imported" cars around (right-hand drive versions from Japan, UK, Australia etc) without changing the steering wheel over to the left? Is there some kind of permit you can get for it? Reason I ask, is because I couldn't stand the thought of a GT-R getting abused;) like that...

THanks For the Warm welcome ,I `ve been looking into all of it and ,I am gonna leave it left hand drive,I wanna be diffrent from everyone here but hopefully buy next september ,I will be living in Sydney or New South Wales Witch is preety phat Thanks for the tip of motorex,I will have to look into that as well hopefully ,I will learn alot from all you latter :headspin:

I did some very cursory research on it a while back and it seems like you can't due to new(er) regulations prohibiting it. I think the new law was that if there is a remotely comparable model in the States (for instance like old model WRX Sti and the U.S. Impreza 2.5RS) you can't import it. However, if it is a totally different car, then with the proper crash testing, compliancing, etc, then you can drive it without a change of the steering wheel (i.e. I don't think Motorex Skylines change the steering wheel over?).

However, I've seen pictures of street driven Evo's in the states. Some people just import it as a race or show car and then change the Vin badge on it (illegally of course) to one of a U.S. Mirage or Lancer.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
