i'm in antigua, so it should be right hand. the seats are cloth, i don't know how much it cost from japan to US, but i got it @usd4000.

they did bring me the toys, but i will take a long time for me to take control.

so far i know that small black box can start/stop engine. i'd like to know is there anyone here have the same toys, and could learn the detail.

Thats all aftermarket equipment from what I can tell.

You'd have a better chance learning what companies make those parts and looking it up.

Talking

hey,
How did you get your hands on a car from Japan?
What did you do look it up in a catalog, order it, and UPS delivers it to your house or something? It must cost a fortune.
By the way, isn't it illegal for the driver side to be on the passenger side here in the states?
If not then I want to get a souped up Nissan Skyline.

not like the states, there's not much choice in antigua, japanese cars are the only affordable right hand drive cars.

although it's difficult to find out how to play with those toys came along

STARBO is just an engine starter...some models come with turbo-timers.Since Sabers dont come in turbos,its only an engine starter.Did u locate the actual unit? If theres a model number,I cant search...I'm in Japan.

It's way cheaper to ship Japanese cars to the Caribbean than it is to the US. I'm from Jamaica, and we get all the jdm versions. We had nismo skylines, the evos, the imprezas, way before they were even thinking of bringing it to the US. We even had some strange ones, like the turbo starlet from toyota, Imagine a mini with a 1.3 litre turbo-charged engine, for only 3,000 US.

A civic vti-r, that came with the 1.8 vtec from the type-r integras, or even a stationwagon corolla that had a 1.8 litre turbocharged engine.

The best was a nissan pulsar, a hatchback the size of a focus, with awd 2.0 turbo engine pushing 230 stock and 12 lbs of boost. Oh man, those were the days, eating evo's alive!
