Japanese regulations permit a private vehicle import relatively easily.

>>123772 Don't they drive on the right in Japan? How can it be street legal?

>How can it be street legal?
In the same way that I can legally take my car to France from the UK and drive it as normal, and it's why some JDM cars can be imported to the US. Consider it a rare piece of international co-operation.

It does make overtaking slightly harder though, thanks to more limited visibility when pulling out.

P.S the Japs drive on the left.

a 2j swap would be far better than a sr20

There's bound to be laws allowing classic cars to be imported without modification. Here in Australia, if a car is something like 30 years or more old then you can drive it legally even if it's on the opposite side. Japan's car culture is pretty big so I'd imagine they'd have something similar. Maybe ask /o/ about it.

mad jealous, sorry about ur dad anon
treat that car well

Sorry about your dad, and I wish I could offer more than my condolences to you. Maybe check out /o/ and see if they can better answer your question?

hey man, sorry about your Dad. Do yourself a favour and enjoy the car to the max but don't completely mentally attribute the memories and feeling associated with your father to the car. Those thing don't always last so long but your memories and things you have learned should.

No homo.

looking at about 1200 dollars in taxes a year for the car

When someone wants to buy a car in Japan, that person has to prove that he can park it, that he has a dedicated parking spot or a garage first. No proof of parking spot rental or ownership = no license plate for him. And unless you live in the middle of nowhere, parking can be expensive. In my 300k inhabitants city near Nagoya, I pay 9000 yen (83$) per month to park my car. If I were to live in Nagoya, I’d pay between 100 and 250$ per month. In Kyoto or Osaka, it would be between 150 and 400$. In Tokyo, the sky is pretty much the limit (200 to over 1000$). Parking for free on a side-street is also not something you can do in Japan, those types of spots simply do not exist and you HAVE to go in a pay-park. When thinking about it though, prices are not that different than other big cities everywhere else in the world. The main difference with the rest of the world, is how expensive it is to travel around. Freeways are VERY expensive in Japan. On average it will cost you about 25cts per kilometers on ANY freeway in the country. If you chose not to use freeways, your travelling time will double or triple in time. Quick example: Last Friday I went from Okazaki to Kyoto, one-day round trip. In total I drove 300km on toll roads and 100km on free slower roads. I paid 8860 yen (82$). Not even counting the 13 gallons of gas my car sucked on the way (4.2$ per gallon right now), you end up with massive costs when doing trips that would be considered as simple daily transits for some americans.
