Oh it's an FD?? I thought it was a Honda... nice. What's a Type R?

 

pretty much the same as a R1, you must have mistaken type-r for a ITR huh?

 

ITR? What's that?

I assumed when you said Type-R you meant a Civic Type R (ie the Integra Type R)

 

There was an FD3S Type R. Scroll down halfway down the page to the red FD w/ J-spec 16s:

I'm thinking too that the '92 "Type R" referred to above is the same car as an R1 but w/ a different name (JDM).

 

Cool! Didn't know that. Thanks for the link. I learn somethin new everyday Now if you'd just PM me back...

 

The point I am trying to make is, you are currently "pursuing" the loopholes and still don't even know if it is going to be street legal. It is more of a PITA to get the damn thing govt. approved than it is to just buy a USDM model and enjoy it. No offense to you kind sir (you actually have a JDM car) but 100% legality may just be a little out of reach. In any case, let me know the outcome.

The reason for my original post is this...No one cares if the car is JDM or RHD.

If fcdrifter13 wants to convert to RHD or buy a JDM model, than by all means, DO IT. Don't come onto this forum and bullshit and just talk about how you are going to do this and that...blah...blah...blah...blah...blah.

 

No offense? No offense taken man. I didn't see anything insulting etc. Oh and I can tell you from now, it will NEVER be 100% legal, by virtue of it being pushed through loopholes, vs. say Motorex Skylines which are indeed 100% tried and true legal.

Understood. I haven't posted anything about mine because...well...it's worthless at this point lol. If/when something becomes of it, then it may be worth posting about. But I just wanted to let ya know there are def. ways around getting them here.

 

We are converting a 240sx to RHD at my shop right now so it will be able to run a bigger turbo. The way we are going at it is we are cutting the 180sx's firewall out and welding it into the 240sx. We had to go this way with it because the firewalls are pretty different. We cut it below the vin number, because there is a seam right there from where it was welded in stock. This way we will be able to bolt up all the stock jdm stuff.

 

This is the attitude most should take if they are doing RHD or want to import. Do it. Prove it. Make it work. Then you can spout off about anything you want.

In any case, good luck getting it on the road.
