HarrisonTX Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Ok, so last sunday is was going back to Fort Hood, sleeping of corse.. My dad has an '04 chevy diesle, and it shows his average economy. He is completly ubsessed with it. He has started drivin 55mph EVERYWHERE. It stays around 21mpg, but was at 19.4 due to some recent trailer pullin So he wakes me up, and says look at that z, im like "wow, nice" He says, "no look its right hand drive" Soo, im like "duh, catch it" the turbo spools up, and where doin about 90mph catchin this guy the z's rollin about 80mph (the normal flow for i-35) He finally catch this joker, and i set my phone to multy shot, hung out my back window, and snapped a couple, i was gonna get more, but my phone was full. What a bad time to discover that phones can fill up with pictures.. the guy driving was lovin the attention we slowed to 55 again, and my dad was crushed, just that dropped his average mpg to 18.4 hahaha. So the mirrors above the wheel, does that mean its a fairlady? has anyone seen another right hand drive? If this is a right hand drive fairlady, its gotta be mega rare. Anywho, i have never seen one of these, and was soo happy too.. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Roman Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 if its right hand drive its either been converted or ots O.G fairlady, i would put my money on fairlady since there havent been many converted(to my knowledge) ive seen em go on ebay before, and seen one (unsavable) in real life, nice find. Get his number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonTX Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Nah, i didnt, i was too excited to think about that... and my dad was gainin on someone really fast.. So are all fairladys right drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHeadV8 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 How many do you want ?? We got LOADS of standard RHD ones here in the UK but ....... for the most part they are plated and fixed up which is why I have imported a Californian one and am having it converted to RHD. Makes me laugh, we want what you have and you guys want European If that is an original Fairlady (doubt it) someone has switched the wheels for later ones. I suspect it is a later japanese car because according to my friend Alan Thomas (HS30-H) who knows this stuff in incredible detail, they had to have mirrors on the wings to make them road legal in Japan.. Therefore the mirrors, right hand drive and later wheels point to a later Japanese car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 ALL RHD japanese cars from the era had their mirrors mounted on the fenders...that is standard, and does not make the car special. Also all Zs are known as Fairladys back in Japan regardless of powerplant...even the 350Z. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
