Cool shots. The rear diffuser is stock also?

I've seen a couple R34 GTRs around town here, but never a V-Spec- didn't they only build like a 1000 only?

Hopefully That one stays unmolested!!

Not hard at all. Just takes some getting used too.

Yup, about 15 minutes and you're fine. The only problem I had was getting used to the blinker on the other side of the column, lol.

Out of curiosity, that car is only 16 years old... How is it allowed to be on the streets of Chicago?

This car is simply amazing.

It may just be in the US temporarily: https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/det...-into-the-u.s.

haha... definitely agree about the blinker. This r34's legal status is "grey." I'll leave it at that.

Nice shots synth! Beautiful car.

Looks like you were lucky with the light traffic on a Friday morning.

Agreed, I'd borrowed a RHD 98 Civic SiR hatchback for a couple days a few years ago. I had more trouble getting back into my own 5MT Civic than I did adjusting to the RHD.

Godzilla at her finest. I saw a few of them during my time in Japan. So for those wondering about getting one, wait until it's 25 years old then you're all set.

Good luck finding one that hasn't been thoroughly abused after 25 years. And if you do find one, expect to pay a large premium for it!!
