They didn't make the first gen GSL-SE in japan or any other foreign market... It was produced for the U.S. when they decided not to sell the turbo first gens here.

The Japanese equivalent of the GSL-SE is the GT Turbo. It's got a turbo 12A instead of the 6-port 13B that we got.

Possible but doubtful. If it is true JDM, the car will be right hand drive

If it's a GT Turbo, then it will have a 12AT.

That car has been on craigslist for a while, it's not RHD. I don't know why the guy selling it is calling it jdm edition.

lol I am so old I don't even know what drifting is (yea I know what it is)..

Back in the day the trick with FB's was to go bout 25-30 mph and pull the emergency break... does a 180

Do NOT try that *disclaimer .. we USED to do that. Not responsible for crashing...

If its not RHD, its not JDM. Also, to clearify a few things, the GSL-SE was not sold as that submodel name in any other market besides north america. As stated, japan and most of the rest of the world got the GT-Turbo, which is exactly as the badging stated on that submodel.
