BlackJack is outta Killeen, TX (Fort Hood)....but sometimes hang in H-town and Austin vicinity.

Regarding Skylines, they're also available in great numbers out of Australia and England since they are also right-hand drive countries. Last I priced, the average for a '96 GTR/R34 was about 12k British Pounds, equivilating to about 18k USD. That info was as of OCT 04. Cost of shipping to CA was about 800-1,200 USD, and conversion by Motorex cost an average of 5k to 8k USD. Grand total on the low end was about 24k, high end about 30k for that particular example. I was going to do it, but found out about it too close to leaving to come back to the US and couldn't drum up the funds.

Also, to date, no known fix for right hand drive since the turbo banks are located on the left side where the steering assembly would normally go, without MAJOR modification, so better learn how to shift left-handed >8)
