Have the hots for a Nissan Skyline but the need for four doors? Step right up and check out this 1997 Nissan Laurel Club S 25T.

It’s purple.

It has a manual box.

It’s priced like a new Mazda3.

It has less than 100,000 miles on the clock.

And it’s already here in the States–no waiting on a ship to come in.

Imports & Classics, a specialty dealer in Bellingham, Washington, is offering the Nissan for $25,950. According to the listing, the car’s already wearing Work Emotion wheels and Blitz coil-overs.

No, it's not better than a skyline, but damn I want it. That's a gorgeous sedan.

I dig it.

You get an RB engine without having the attention a Skyline brings.

After being a wallflower for 40+ years, I enjoy the attention a skyline brings

As much as a skyline is pretty much the apex of my gran turismo fuelled teens and 20s, I think i'd rather have the Laurel. Luxury rides appeal to me

Is it common enough with anything to LHD swap it? devil

Wouldnt be shocked if it was done in somewhere like the Phillipines. They've converted RHD cars into LHD due to laws there.

In reply to aw614 :

I have actually discussed that very issue with a friend who lives there. Yeah, even when he had an STI Type RA, he had to swap it from RHD. 

No exclusion for you.

That's my turn off with a lot of JDM imports. I just don't want anything to do with a RHD vehicle. 

It's like learning to ride a bike, then having to learn a unicycle. I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but I'd rather just have the bicycle.
