pics of my rhd conversion

[silviaS13lover]

naw. i left the main controls on the left.

[daconkiftador]

so do you have to rewire the doors for the power windows switches?

naw. i left the main controls on the left.

loL, so the passenger has control of both windows and the lockout feature.

[motorboater]

how did you swap out the firewalls? and what kind of welds do did you do?

[ThuG LyFe]

sweeeet i really want to own a rhd 240 one day...

rofl mao @ the drive thru pic...very awesome!

[Tulsa_S-13]

Looks rushed. Not really too impressed by the work. It's obvious the firewall was rattle canned (See VIN plate), and the interior looks trashed.

If you're not doing something for functionality at least make it clean.

[Ilvemynissan]

Yo Chris, this is Brett. Car looks good man, get some pics up with the advans.

tampon??why the **** if i have money should i spend it on performance rather than looks? isn't that smart if teens spend on looks rather than performance due to immaturity?

greeneyes is always blunt in his posts dont take it personally.... but i agree with him and others if your going to do a "rhd" conversion make it look clean... if your that concerned with looks you couldve took the time to clean the engine while it was out.... that single cam is just plain dirty in there... cracked dash jdm dash and chopped interior for no real value is sorta over played

you can still make it look alright but honestly it LOOKS like it only cost 280 bucks

just my .02

That's a sick *** build bro, ive alway's loved pig front ends i can't wait till i get me another s13 lol.....any who sick *** build keep us informed

[Kalypso]

truly awesome,

You should do a write-up on how to disassemble the interior compartment, behind the dash. I am planning to strip mine, and place sound deadening against the fire wall

[mrgreeneyes]

wow, you totally summed up why it looks half-assed. it was done "for the look"

heres the writeup for underdash disassembly:

find the 867 10mm bolts, remove them lefty-loosy, dash is out. enjoy beverage.

yeah, im blunt when i post. im glad youre young and have plenty of time to learn why this was a bad idea. (hacking harnesses, leaving window controls on "passenger" side, no heater, ebrake totally inaccessible with normal movement of the left arm, etc)

i hope you think its totally rad. thats all that really matters in life. thinking things you do are totally rad. im rad, youre rad, we're all effin rad.

i do like one thing youre doing tho. ride height is proper. coils=megan=poo, but at least youre low.

[Kalypso]

ROFL!!!

[S13Joe]

yeah i dont think it was the best idea with the cracked dash and i kinda think you took the lazy way to finish this quickly but its still not bad. go finish the rest of the conversion, i wanna see it.

[treken2t87]

This thread is full of tons of fail :-\

[-RJ-]

do i see hello kitty? wtf...

[silviaS13lover]

hello kitty ftw. posted up on the ps fluid reservoir

[silvia_ks_69]

wuts wrong with the seats u have now? its a stock CA lol not a race car. i think u should work on that first before u start throwin in more cosmetics. ex. intercooler, fuel system, turbo, manis etc.. u have a long way to go before that engine cranks out reasonable HP imo. not bashin u or anything btw, the conversion is looking alot better than wut u started with, so props

[mrgreeneyes]

damn dude. its looking FRESH now... props on the un-halfassing.

get a seat, you wont regret it. buddyclub spec is what i, and a lot of people have. great bang for the buck and is COMFY as hell for a one piece bucket

[silviaS13lover]

i was thinking of pickin up a gtr seat. also, my ca isn't stock. it has an sr turbo, 6 puc, hg, studs, 3in catback. im gonna pic up an afc and and a boost gauge and controler. hopefully bump it up to 12 psi with a small fmic.

[sr20detRcr1]

you need to get the rhd wiper and headlight switches.

[silviaS13lover]

yea. i work at a place that imports halfcuts and jdm parts. im waiting to process an s13 halfcut (remove enginetranny etc) then im gonna take the chassis harness, heater core,plumbing etc. do you know were to find a diagram on how to wire in the jdm harness to the rear usdm harnes? thanks

[silvia_ks_69]

i have gtr seats in my sil, pretty good for wut u pay for them. they hold u in place in corners well. u should check out stri guages. awesome bang for buck. here is a pic.



and a good budget boost controller is greddy profec spec b, i still plan on running it even with the new engine and stuff (of course get the turbo timer at the same time )

[lmsilvias14]

good job looks legit

OK im kinda lost here?

Initially when i heard the west liked to do RHD conversions i thought it was due to dominant hand issues.i.e Shift with left hand and dominant hand stays on the steering wheel? I was young and had never driven a LHD.

But since i moved to the US ive noticed that driving LHD isnt too much different from RHD especially since the roads are the topsy turvy too. It feels right after about an hour or so.

So why do people do RHD conversions? Im really curious is there some huge benefit, because ive driven both LHD and RHD cars, and my original rational was voided once i move to the states.

Its a lot of work and funny that when we import cars from the states we lose arms and legs trying to convert them to RHD. Yet here people seem to defy logic and do the exact opposite.

Worse still, why do people put Km/H speedos in their cars?And dont try the whole 0 - 100 sounds better than 0 - 60 cuz naught2sixty will always sound better. Thats something ive always been jealous of in the US....naught2sixty should have been my username....damn it.

[silviaS13lover]

thinkin too hard. it's just to be jdm tyte yo.

[hbpignosePA]

looks alot better now....

what color are gonna paint it when your done? white is always nice

probably be nice when you have heat/defrost again

[TomeiS13Redtop]

car looks nice i like the old school tri stars to rhd just look so much better than lhd. im going to convert mine when i strip it for paint and cage.

[stylepointzz]

I wasnt happy with the way it sat as of the first page. But I must say, I am impressed on how it turned out. I'm glad you decided to go back and do things right

stoked for the rest of your build
