Right Hand Drive Cars

[Northendzone]

today looks like it is a great day to do some drifting on deerfoot.

i wonder if it is hard to find a part for a skyline if you are broken down in Provost, Alberta or Waterous, SK?

All I see these days are right hand drive cars.

It is insane!

How easy is it to find a car part for anything other than the Big 3 in Waterous?

I'm pretty sure used cars from Japan are exported all over the place, as cars older than a few years become very expensive to operate there. Something to do with very high insurance and/or registration iirc. They get crated up and shipped all over the place.

You see alot of small right hand drive trucks and vans in Vancouver mostly because it fills a hole in the market N American companies havn't bothered with, 850cc turbo charged diesel engined vans. You can pick up these for a few thousand or so and are ideal for catering or the like.

R33, R34, or R35?

R33, probably as difficult as finding a part for a 15 year old Mercedes, BMW, Honda, etc. There is enough of a market that parts are available in most major centers.

R34, very rare as an import.

R35, probably the same as an R33 . Although it should be less likely to break down.

I am looking at a car that has a counterpart here in Canada. The engine and body were never mated in NA like they were in Japan.
