got any more info on the left-hand-drive conversion? That looks so clean, it almost looks factory. All the others I've seen look butchered.

Wah, a first for me.

But it sure does play with mind.

For the LHD conversion (excluding the mechanical) - I'm guessing it's a

-> "cut-and-shot" and a leather/vinyl re-trim.

or

-> they may have got the whole lot and made up a reverse mould and remade the whole lot (dash and center console) - remember this is China - possibly the over could own some sort of pastics factory......

or

-> Middle East spec Nissan Bluebird dash.... (I've read about this - but not sure)

Quite interesting. But if you have a look around on youtube and google - I've seen a few left hand drive GT-Rs in the Philippines.

Some pic from where i come from~ :P

Bahahah Holy SHIT man that is a Hong Kong registered car with a China Cross-Boarder license plate....that PLATE costs more then the ENTIRE car!!!!! (FYI: a china cross-boarder license plate is 1 MILLION HK = ~140,000AUD)

Then again Hong Kong has 100% TAX on cars so maybe not lol

lol has to be a cut and plastic-welded then retrimmed... cos it doesn't have the signature bubble on the dash where the glue gives.

I think it's just that, and the handbrake being on the other side, with a perfectly adapted centre console that makes it look so clean.

The UAE and Filo LHD swaps just look half arsed compared to this.

i was going to say it was just a mirror image picture of a normal rhd, then saw the key barrel on the rhs of the steering wheel... very very neat

Yeh.

Slightly off topic - this is one of the better Filo ones -> http://forums.evolutionm.net/other-cars/19...-vspec-nur.html

You sure it's worth that much? lol

Haha lots of money in the smuggling business :) hahah yea but they actually are, I didn't know until my parents told me

i remmeber speaking to one of my old mans work colleages and he paid over 10million (1.3million aud) for a 2 digit number plate... he wanted to be in the top 20 elite list :D as most of the other owners of single and dual digit numbers are dignitaries or celebs. Status or perceived status is very important over there... hence the huge numbers of merc and BMWs

the number plate trade over there is big business it is around 33-40million (4.4 million aud) a MONTH.

On a different note I sure miss living there, one of the best places on earth.

Haha no Asians have a big gambling problem when Macau turned into the new vegas there was reports of mothers leaving their <10 yr old children to go gamble for a few days. Police had to get involved and break into the house. One case was where a 12yr old girl was left with some money and her mother went to gamble and people only found out when the teachers found out at the school she goes too. An the worst one I've ever read about is that a lot of houses in HK have 2 doors a main door and a large metal sliding security gate one parent actually locked her child IN BETWEEN the two to go to Macau for the day. Seriously this world is messed

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
