European diesel engines in North American CR-Vs
I believe I am correct that there was a 1999 diesel engine option for
CR-Vs in the UK? Possibly for continental Europe as well? Does anyone know if this diesel engine will swap into a North American CR-V? Anyone done it? thanks Michael Lough |

Well I'm guessing but it might be difficult to change the steering wheel position too? and an engine change might be simpler than satisfying "foreign" import requirements as well. If the car is the same it could work with a CTDI engine though? I wonder if there were diesel engined CR-Vs in Japan and they are cheap as chips there because no one wants them? just curious really... Limehand |

Some are diesel, mostly delivery vans / AWD vans and trucks. Steering is on the OTHER side. 'Curly' |

In the past few months, I've seen a Nissan Skyline, a Nismo GTi-R and a Toyota Prado. Plus this itty-bitty little "truck" (can't remember the brand) which consisted of a tiny van's cab and the tiddliest pickup bed you've ever seen. All were RHD, and all were seen on the move with valid Ontario license plates. The Skyline really had me wondering why it was never sold here new; it's a good-looking car with a cool name. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

From RIV's Web site ( http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/impxus_e.htm ): "VEHICLES PURCHASED OUTSIDE CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES "The Motor Vehicle Safety Act and Regulations require that all vehicles imported into Canada comply, at the time of importation, with the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date the vehicle was manufactured. Vehicles manufactured for sale in countries other than Canada and the United States do not comply with the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Act, CANNOT be altered to comply and CANNOT be imported into Canada. The only exceptions to this rule are vehicles fifteen (15) years old or older as determined by the month and year in which the vehicle was manufactured..." > > > dont fancy driving a right hooker on the 401 thanks... > Me neither.

Indeed. There are (or were) a couple of outfits in the US that used to import, federalize, and sell Skylines. The new "Skyline", aka the GT-R, will be the first one that Nissan has sold in North America itself. It goes on sale this summer. http://www.nissanusa.com/gt-r/ Nice car, but I think I liked the look of the earlier-generation Skylines better. Dave |

Tegger said The 1999 vehicle you refer to is only 9 model years old. It is inadmissible for importation into Canada. Uh?????? I am referring to an ENGINE. Not a vehicle. An ENGINE. iDEA is to put 1999 CTDI engine from UK Europe or Asia into 1999 CR-V in Canada Thats the thread NOT vehicles....Jeeeeeez. Michael |

I guess I was not really impressed until I say one drive by. The thing that sticks in my memory was that turbo waste gate sound as the car shifts up the gears. Sort of Ucchsssh - Uccchsssh sort of sound. Very sexy, as was the young lady in the right hand seat (they drive British Style over there in Japan). Warmest regards, Mike. |
