Welcome to owning a skyline

[Brando13]

Every time I step on the gas, i cum in my pants. well not really, but you get the idea :P I no longer have a skyline that's so quiet that you cant tell it's a skyline based on sound alone.

Now it's loud and obnixious and kids on the street look at me as i drive by.

Feels good man... Feels good

What exhaust you running? i have no clue what im running, its A/M but it sounds like the magnaflows on my family's hot rod.

you guys are pansies about all this...

i drive for a living LHD car obviously as it belongs to the gov't.... and i have ZERO problem going from my skyline to the other car...and i drive to work.

i honestly prefer driving on the right hand side.. i always felt my dominant hand should be on the more important control mechanism... the steering wheel >> stick shift... shifting is easy with the left hand. and the visibility is the same, i notice no difference.

am i the only one that feels this way? maybe im the weird one! lol

XS power ebay special, traded today with M13. He got my super quiet RSR, and I got his super loud one in return. Now his car is super quiet and mine... not so much.

I still prefer driving RHD.

for some reason. I feel at home driving on that side of the car.

Expect for the obvious downsides of driving on the right side

same here i find it much better, well left turns can be somewhat difficult but im beginning to get better at it now with 2 months driving it

How come so many people complain about left hand turns? Just follow the outer line?

[ColinR33]

I love my Skyline! RHD was way easier to get used to than I thot it would be, just turned on the wipers a couple of times when going for a turn the first day. No real problem with LH turns, just gotta be patient. No probs going back to my LHD cars either. Kinda enjoy the looks it gets too!

lol whenever i get " hey you're driving on the wrong side " I simply say yea am a criminal and never had anyone ask me anything more.

anyone who complains about rhd fails

We aren't talking about that.


Its when your at a set of lights and you are facing an oncoming vehicle that is turning left as well, and there is traffic driving towards you and you can't see them behind the opposing car turning left.


Which isn't even that big of deal. No one is making you turn, just wait for a yellow light, or bring a passenger (alert ones).


I get a lot of stares and ive gotten a lot of "hey nice car" from older guys, which is nice to hear.

agreed and most of the time its random crackheads swinging around like hangin penis.

Turn signals and wiper switch locations are easily the trickiest part of swapping between LHD and RHD. A good trick I've discovered (to ease the panicky feeling when I'm unsure which side the turn signal is on) is to put my hand on the shifter. The hand that's left over is for the turn signal. Works on every vehicle I've driven except for a RHD Ford mini-van in England.

That's a great car. He took good care of it. Have fun learning the clutch

Thanks, yes, the clutch is really stiff :/
