I'm curious as to why anyone (in the US) would want to convert to RHD. Just to be different, or is there a technical reason?

i hope cam is goin to drop a RB26DETT in that convertable(sick), cuz the RHD wouldnt have any clearance issues with the turbos and is probly easier cuase everything already on the left side(ecu etc..)

If you drop a GTR engine in that S13 convertable. :drooling

Cam is that a auto i see in the first pic, i hope a manual conversion is in order

Do you know if any of the R33 stuff will work? Can you give a complete list of part needed pulled from the clip?

I HAVE A CONTACT THAT CAN PREBUILD YOU A RB30DET FOR YOUR APPLICATION. YOU WOULD NEED TO PUT ON THE EXHUAST MANIFOLD AND GET FUEL INJECTORS AND SOME OTHER STUFF BUT IT WILL BE A DIRECT BOLT IN AFFAIR.

FOR MY SETUP HE IS GOING TO CHARGE ME $2500, MIND YOU THIS IS FOR THE RB20DET SO THIS IS A BIT CHEAPER TO MANUFACTURE.

Hey Shift, lets try and do personal bussiness through email from now on OK...This thread went astray as per usual. Everytime I see Cam in a post someone is bothering him about where their parts are. Not that I don't understand, believe me I do. Being an RB guy myself....
