Skylines were only sold new in japland as far as i know.

The US lines are all RHD and are built by garages as "kit cars" and have special rego, so they are all RHD as well.

which begs the question why anyone would put LHD conversion in it.......

post pics as proof if you can find any

I'm pretty darn sure of what i saw cause it was something that really stuck in my mind. when you mean built by garages do you mean they are complied by them with special rego for the general public? The one i saw was a personal import about 4yrs ago on the interweb. hmmm...actually it might have been a gtr from dubai or something...lol..it was blue. you may be right...ha

I daresay it's possible, but not cheap, in the same way a RHD corvette/mustang/escalade in RHD is possible, despite never being built that way. It'd just be a question of $$$.

But the real question is why do you want a LHD model? it's incredibly expensive for something that will never get compliance to be driven on public roads, and i can't imagine LHD vs RHD will give any tangible difference on a racetrack?

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
