haha, im so used to it. Havnt tried a left side drive car for long time.

Just make sure u always drive on the right hand side of the road, u will be sweet, if u visit a place with RHD.HAHAHAHA

nice ride bro.... and good luck on the build.....
From my understanding, the gs300 before year 2000 does not have the wood grain on the steering, only the one after later 2000 will have the wood grain on the steering, but they are e-shifter model.

My gs is the only 1 that got the wood grain but not e-shifter. haha

Sweet! Born and raised in Hamilton, left NZ when I was like 10, but have been back a few times and have family still in Greylynn (among other places throughout Auckland).

Look forward to seeing your GS as it goes through the mod process
