spdkilz02 Posted April 25, 2006 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2006 I was wondering if there were any right hand drive Z in the states? I would love to find a Z but a car that is right hand drive would just make it that much more fun. Or if you guys happen to know of another cool car that is right hand drive that is in the states please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakijo Posted April 25, 2006 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2006 There's lots of RHD cars in the States. Zs, Skylines, Minis, Rolls, Jags . . . You can even special order RHD cars from American manufacturers as well. What are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdkilz02 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted April 25, 2006 i just basically would like to find an older car that is pretty neat that i would be able to fix up...i know there are the austin healey but im not really interested in those...definately would love a skyline but that is out of the question way to much money...

MikeW Posted April 25, 2006 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2006 Everyone I've talked to with a RHD Z car here in the US talks about how scary they are to drive in traffic. You're sitting close to the outside of the road and it's harder to judge where the oncoming traffic is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdkilz02 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted April 25, 2006 ya i completely understand that...the car would in no way be a daily driver just something to drive on the weekend when its nice out...or ill just get a 240 or 280 and dump alot of money into it and make it one heck of a car...i just hope that im able to find something as now i have sold my Opel and would like to now find a Z...

naviathan Posted April 25, 2006 Share #6 Posted April 25, 2006 I have a RHD fairlady and it's not that odd. Just reverse your thinking. Judge the fog line like you would the center line and vise versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdkilz02 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted April 25, 2006 you have any pics of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted April 25, 2006 Share #8 Posted April 25, 2006 Yeah I have some from when I picked it up, but it's a mess. Sad state for a Z to be in. I'll be replacing body panels on it for a while and then overhauling the engine. Trans seems to be good though. Currently it's sitting in front of my garage as my 77 is the first batter up for resto.<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v168/naviathan/Fairlady/HPIM2136.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
