I have a Lhd 90 Nissan 300zx N/A. Is it possible to switch a turbo'd motor from a Rhd into my Lhd. Anything will help

You didn't run into anything hitting the steering column or the oil pan. Stuff like that

nope, a little work getting the intercooler piping in,and you will have to make some brackets to hold the intercoolers, but engine goes right in, you need to swap out ecu's also,and run an aftermarket boost controler, do you have a front clip? or just the engine?

The only difference betweent the two engines will be the side on which the oil pressure sending unit is located, and it is movable as long as you move the plug to the opposite side.
