I'm sure there's some sort of write up somewhere if you look hard enough...

Should be pretty straightforward & time-consuming tho...

basically, you need all the rhd stuff - i.e. dash, powersteering rack, brake lines, etc. Then it's just a matter of doing it.

Should be a lil easier if you have a rhd front-clip to take parts from.

As for "is it worth it?"... what is rhd worth to you? It's not gonna make you a better drifter or whatever just because you have rhd :p.

* and I just did a quick lil search for "rhd conversion" & looky what came up as first result:

zerothread?id=268974

Should give you a good idea from looking @ the pics what needs to be done.

Next time, search NOOB!

Ok so I have some "splaining to do" lol....If you have the whole front clip it will be a medium-hard task,,,,,,If you dont then it will be rediculous,,,,,,And very expensive.....

When you have the front clip in front of you you can reference it to see what goes where......You can do like many others do.....Get the front clip and have a bodyshop/welder weld it into place.....Many people do it with halfcut cars....Too many to be exact.....Yes it might not be as strong in the crumple zones but a welder can do wonders!!!!! And if it already has an sr20det...all you have to do is hookup the d-shaft..

Did you ever think of how much of a pita it will be to go thru a toll-both?...You'll need a slingshot to get the money in the collector lol......Who knows maybe youll be lucky and catch the attendant right between the eyes and get charged for assaulting a federal employee...Lmao

To have a RHD conersation you need to be on the right of the person you are talking to. Skill level required: 1Do due a RHD conversion on a 240sx is in different levels. From just steering swap, too all A/C wiring etc. Or plasma cutter cutting out 2 firewalls and rewelding back.

whenever you post pictures, just go into paint and flip the image. Tada, instant RHD. JK, but seriously RHD is cool and all but it is awfully expensive just for something to brag about.
