Converting to RHD, need help.

[SilSweet80SX]

Hey all, I was hoping to see if anyone here is from Columbus, Ohio and would be interested in helping me convert my 240 to right hand drive. I have all the **** I need, but need someone to help if your available.

Also, if there is anyone ELSE on the boards that has accomplished this is there anything that I should know about?

sure you got everything you need including a welding torch? you'll need the heater core, rhd dashboard, the heater pipes for the interior, the steering rack, firewall, the console parts, plenty of new brake tubes and a tube for your clutch, line bender and flaring tool for those tubes. I think I'm forgetting some other parts, but then again I just woke up. LOL so forgive me for not remembering everything so clearly.

don't know man, if you really want to do it, go ahead, but i don't think it's worth the work.

[soilwork240sx]

i think it will be worth the work. just look at his car.

SilSweet80SX, you have one of the sweetest/cleanest s13's on the site:D I absolutely love it... a RHD conversion would be bada$$!



everything about that is amazing:yummy sorry I don't know anything about a RHD swap? sounds like its fairly straightforward though (if you know how to re-weld the firewall)...

yea i heard its the easiest to just reweld the firewall. I planned on doin this swap but it just didnt fit my schedule. But I know of a few ppl who have done it go to one of the other boards im on tamparacing.com look up RHD an youll get some contacts. Good luck

sounds nice but what are you gonna do when you go to mcdonalds!!

[SilSweet80SX]

180fan- Yes I have everything I need, and to install I have a second garage so I wouldnt be using mine. I just need to know if there is anything that would be REALLY hard to do.

Thanks guys for the comments- Nobody out there who would want to help though I'm sure its not going to be hard, just take a lot of time and patience.

BTW- I don't know if I like the color of my car anymore. I am a very picky person and get bored with things, I just painted the car like 2 months ago but I'm thinking dark metallic silver with some different rims. Any idea's?

P.S. That pic of the bay is old. Its now painted. Sorry I havent taken any of that.

[NeedCAforS13]

you need an 89 240sx SE lip:) (like off your red car) to put on the silvia bumper! that would complete the front end I think...

Fitment issues? Cause I sold it to my friend and he STILL owes me $1100 for it, and im sure I can just say, give me that and you only owe me $1050.

[NeedCAforS13]

fits perfect... I've seen afew in person here in Orlando and even more in pictures online, and it looks/fits great! It might have even come stock on some in Japan?

[SilSweet80SX]

Are you sure? LOL- sorry I dont want to screw up my paint by fitting it on.

[Nathan]

I know this is off-topic, but is that an off the shelf or custom roll bar? if it's off the shelf, which one is it and how was fitment?

Very nice car bro i like it a lot. Colorwise, i'm doing mine a nearly stock graphite metallic darker grey kinda color to match my wheels.

When you wanna go to the drivethru just go in reverse. It would be awesome!
