I live in north Houston, Ive contacted some auto importers and they said if it isnt on the NHSTA list of cars available for import then they gotta crash test the RHD model to make sure it meets up to the safty requirements of DOT and everything and Ive heard it costs to much. But Ive seen people with Type R's RHD over here and they arent on the list... so I dont know how they did it. And about converting mine.... too much money to do that and it wont be as safe if it is in a wreck once everything is welded back together....
