Left drive?

Has anyone ever heard of a Skyline converted to left hand drive? Can it be done?

Yes it can be done. There is a company called skyline motors that does it in the US. But why would you want to ruin a perfectly good car by converting it to LHD? Plus they want like 10k to do it.

In 2-3 hours of driving you will be totally used to RHD. Then what is the point of having a totally JDM car like a skyline and then converting it to LHD?

Yes you are correct but if I had the cash to by a GTR33 10k to make it LHD would be no big deal. I don't really care about it being JDM. I just don't like the look of RHD. Not that I could ever afford one. (maybe if a rich relative died)

That steering wheel looks like the one in my car. I agree with scourge though if you adjust to RHD you shouldn't be driving. Correct me if I am wrong but the pedals are the same far right is gas middle is brake and far left is clutch. The shifter is the same but you do with your left instead of right. So it can't be that different. Aesthetically I don't know if it's worth 10K to switch. I mean I wouldn't mind having a RHD car but I would just get a RHD car I couldn't see myself spending the cash to switch it to RHD instead of spending it on stuff to either make it handle better or go faster. Just my $0.02.

I have driven both RHD and LHD, I never had a difficulty adjusting to anyone of the two.

That's almost Sacreligious to me!!

Changing a car from RHD to LHD is like cutting off your manhood and having it stitched onto your back!! Something that aint meant to happen... Hahaaa

Ummm, I don't know if its that bad. I don't think either way is right or wrong.

that interior of that car doesn't look much like a RHD r33:

I think they had to use an interior from another car to make it work (I'd guess a Camry because of the way the dash is), which would entail the difference between the two. Remember that Skylines never had LHD versions (until now), so that means some sort of custom work was involved to make the car into a LHD.

No they didn't. The BB was never offered in the country where this car is.

Yes it has been done many, many times...even in my country..
Left Hand drive Skylines are available in Europe...there was a Russian member in this forum who posted his groups LHD Skylines...you can search for it in the member rides section.

I lived there (United Arab Emirates) for 18 years. I know the Skyline wasn't sold there (cars are LHD in the UAE), and neither was the Bluebird. I said I don't think it may have been the donor, but I probably am not as knowledgable on that as you. Anyway, if you think it was the BB, then I guess you are the better judge of that my friend.
