Is dailying a RHD car in the US (or any country that drives on

sounds like a bit of a pain, but i can't imagine why it wouldn't be viable
left turns and two-lane overtaking would become trickier but that's it (well and tollbooths and the like, better have a passenger to grab things at the drive through)

>not going into a drive thru in reverse

OP I'm going to stop you right here.
> California
It's not going to happen.
Put it out of your mind, forget it, don't look back.
It is legal, albeit a massive pain to import cars from Canada into the US, let alone Japan, even with the 25 year rule.
California has Smog testing. Any vehicle brought it not only has to get past US Customs Enforcement (who will happily seize/crush it for you if anything is out of place) but also the DMV, who will not let you register it unless it meets California's particularly strict and arbitrary emissions specifications.

In short, the way that car will roll off the boat, it won't. You'll have to do an engine swap every 2 years for the smog checks. Alternatively you'll have to register it out of state and hope nobody finds out that you're dodging registration fees which warrants a massive fine if caught. There's even a tip line and rewards for reporting people who do that because it's so common.

Considering that you also have a vast market of cheap, fixable, rust-free vehicles available in California already I think you'd be retarded to import anything from Japan nomatter how cool the Anime is.

The thing about California is that we have some dealerships who import them, and also have RHD stuff in their lot. I grew up in LA and RX7s were everywhere, and people have managed to get R32s registered.

>importing ANYTHING to the shittiest state
lmao, what are you fucking stupid. You will NOT be able to import anything into California.

That's what you get for assbackwards smogs logs, and for living in the worse state imaginable.

provide proof, not even an actual ae85 will pass emissions, much less a r32

ALSO TO ADD
240s in your state are so cheap, I even found a automatic one for you

If it's handled by a dealer it should at least be hassle free at the time of purchase. Be advised that some engines and parts may still be Japan specific which would be a pain as well.

Initial registration and biannual smog tests are the biggest problems though. If you can get that sorted and then get used to driving from the right hand side of the car I suppose you'd be doing OK.

As far as I'm concerned all this trouble only makes sense of you firmly insist on being a special snowflake.

I'd want the manual too, anon.

Importing into kalifornia will suck. If you get a rhd car that was never meant for california it will need to be smogged by someone who can get it through. If you could find a car that was already imported, and modded to pass smog that would be optimal.

If I were you I would just get a jap shitbox that is lhd here like a 240sx a lexus with a 2jz or something. Then when you move out of kalifornia you could pick your rhd car.

Legalizing for California is expensive as fuck. If it's ready to go to pass emission requirements from the start you'll pay a few thousand dollars just for the emissions testing.

If the car doesn't pass without modification you're looking at a shit load of money. The stock R32 is 10k between extra cats and ignition timing mods and testing emissions. It is a royal pain in the dick.

I'm looking into how to do things better and the RB26 will probably be able to pass much more easily if you use HKS VCAM as you can control overlap and allow for exhaust gases to vent into the intake to some extent to reduce combustion temperatures and therefore the emissions. Stoich is by far the hottest combustion temperature and it's what the closed loop targets when stock so any EGR will help a lot with emissions.
