Hello all, I own a 95 240sx left hand drive us model. Apparently there is little info on converting to right hand drive, has anyone done this? If so where did you aquire the parts and how spendy is it. Please do not post your feelings on the swap. Just looking for critical information.

Do you live in the USA?

You do know that you will not be able to do drive throughs, drive up ATMs, see around traffic to pass, and waste a lot of money.

I have a RHD car and it is a pain in the ass to drive in the US.

Yes I know that will be a concern. I rarely drive this car and want to make it unique... By the way It is a automatic.

the only reason i would convert to rhd is to pwn cops and look like an OG getting out of the car on the curb.

what is it? like 5k to convert? fucccccccccck, its not even worth it

^ For the same price you could swap in a 5 speed, and drop in a really well built RB20 or SR

Or to deliver mail ;)


But to stay on topic, I hate to say it but this is asked about once a week or two. I see this is your 2nd post, so please search before asking. You will get flamed for asking such questions without searching. Just a heads up.

Seen this asked a good handful of times, please search. But yeah, it would be a real pain in the ass to live with that, but if you're really set on doing it, by all means, that's your decision, have fun.

I'm pretty sure this thread is ghey as hell too.

"I want my car to be unique, so I plan to hack it up like a dead hooker and ruin any chance of it being worth even a pile of dogshit when I get done with it".

Very simple, I did it and it cost me like $400.00-$500.00 in parts to convert everthing. Keep in mind there are shops out there that can do it for that price but they keep the ecu On the right side and dont put in a/c and heater stuff. If i had to charge people to do this in a regular bases I would charge like $2500 in parts and labor because it involves removing the motor and cutting and painting. So there please let this thread die.....Die.....If you would like to ask me anything about doing this on a S14 Please dont post on this thread but PM me.:Ownedd:

I am currently doing rhd in my s14 do to motor selection, what all has to be done? I have a good idea on what needs to be done, im just checking if im missing anything. AND it doesnt cost no 5k for the swap, only if you're a idiot and dont care how much money you spend.

I don't get the point of converting a USDM car to RHD, why not just buy a silvia?

jarco is selling a rhd conversion clip on their ebay store right now

rhd conversions are ghey but jarco is cool, so give them some business

if i were you i'd just bring in a silvia and call it a day

God, I should have locked this the first time.
Bumped after 6 months to ask a question that the last previous poster asked to be PM'd about.
