Oh and these are pics of the cars that are currently 4 sale on the website, and the prices thats show are after there already imported. So who knows?

[skyhigh90210]

I've been a member on that site for over a year, those prices are before shipping. To get the real price take the export size then get the price of shipping to the port of your choice, take the export size and multiply it by the price of the container to the port. Its alot more expensive than it looks.

[wright06jhs]

Well i figured thats probably what it was going to end up being...really expensive. I just thought it would be cool to get a car form over there.

[wright06jhs]

i would like to find the VR4 galant...because the pictures i posted are of the 4cyl. models. I didnt know they made VR4 in I4's? Atleast is said they were on the site

[beam514]

yeah u have the option to buy it right hand drive or lef hand drive!! i'm looking foward to find something interesting here!!

well i mean i couldnt find any left hand galants on that website. and wouldn't that be illegal to drive a right hand drive car? maybe not i have no idea

why not? ive seen right hand drive jeep cherokees. there mainly used for mail delivery but i still see them being driven around often

[djflex167]

there is someone here in NY with a Nissan Skyline R32 with a right hand side steering wheel and is registered here in the states, and he haven't got into any type of trouble!!

That is because there is NO law on the books that says your car must be left hand drive.

If anyone wants a Legnum VR4, I will be willing to sell mine for the right price...

[djflex167]

and what do you call a right price?

[2002ShadowDeamon]

There are quite a few Skylines in the States. I know that there is one in O'Fallon, Mo.

I have always wanted to buy a Legnum VR-4 and have even found some good website to get them from, but i cant ever find out if anything has to be done to the car for it to meet US Standards. Does anyone know?

I'm more than inclined to say yes but I don't know what all needs to be changed. I seem to recall that the AYC has to be disabled among a few other things. Your best bet for finding out would be to pm Mante since as far as I know he is the only person who has successfully imported a JDM galant so far. It might be hard to reach him though since he no longer posts on this board. Good luck.

[2002ShadowDeamon]

I have tried, but nothing came from it. I thought that I had talked to him, but there was no real help. Nobody else has done this? How about you dsandy? You just said that you had one shipped. What are you going to have to do to it?

And a noob question, what is AYC?

[2002ShadowDeamon]

Oh, and this is where I find all of the Legnums for a cheap price.

I'm taking a while guess and say.. active yaw control

[djflex167]

but there are a few skylines here in the states, and they have more power than a VR-4, if they are here legally, then i wouldn't think VR-4 wouldn't!!

You need to add Crashbars to the front and rear, Cat converter to the exhaust and a strength rated front windshield for it to pass.

[2002ShadowDeamon]

Is that all?


Well thats not bad. You can get all of that from and 8g in a salvage yard.

[laxinwarrior]

Except that the JDM 8g and the USDM 8g are completely different cars.

[2002ShadowDeamon]

So the crash bars and the windshield would not fit?

[laxinwarrior]

I don't know that for a fact but you might want to find out for sure ahead of time instead of assuming that they will. Either way the USDM crashbar shouldn't be too hard to modify to fit on the JDM 8g since it works with the JDM bumpers once it's cut down. The windshield is a different story, it might be exactly the same and drop right in but I don't think anyone has ever tried it before.

[duh2150]

dsandy your total bullshiter, you said ot me you had a 4.8l galant twin tubo form jap land

[wittydrewy]

I see that they have only petrol and diesel. Is petrol different from our regular gas?

[skyhigh90210]

petrol is gas

[laxinwarrior]

Petrol is gas.

^ damn beat me to it. :P

[wittydrewy]

oh ok then if this is a good web site I might consider this. I want a right handed car so I know it is a rare car. I wont go down the street thinking there is another galant just like mine.....

[ShiZnitH]

I think it would be cheaper to buy a G from EU (Not Norway, to expensive) then u can get it with Left Hand Drive ;) And its almost the same as a Japanese car

[DNSerrano]

Have you seen any VR-4's that were converted to left hand drive over in Europe?

[ShiZnitH]

Thats the problem, only the VR-4 we dont have :( But if u use a wrecked Galant "Sport" interior like mine u can use that and convert the VR-4 to LHD ;) Its much work but well wort it :)

[DNSerrano]

Yes I see. I have always liked the European/Japanese interiors of the Galants...too bad they had to water it down in the US

[djflex167]

sounds interesting, so there is no VR-4 with left hand drive? because then a conversion would be ideal here!!

[2002ShadowDeamon]

Whats the story with dsandy? He is not answering my PMs or anything? If he really has a car coming from Japan, then why will he not help me out buy giving me some information?

[Tizon]

Nope, not from factory ;)

but there are a few converted to left hand, around in europe.

[djflex167]

well as long as is possible then thats wassup!! i wonder how hard is to install the side marker lights on the USDM galant because it looks like all the galants from there comes with it from factory!! i want to hook mines up!!
