Hi guys I'm new here, first post, from up north in Vancouver, Canada.

I am currently looking at a JDM RHD Sileighty ('91). How much is it approximately to convert it to a LHD, parts/labour all included? I want to know if the conversion is worth the money. Or is it better to just buy a LHD 240sx and convert the front, swap the engine, etc.? Thanks! Love the forum!

hit the big flashing red button "search" at the top. There's alot of work associated with that switch.

wow so you want to buy a RHD 180sx and convert it to LHD???? well either way you look at it you will be doing almost the same amount of work. if you really want LHD i would say buy a 240sx and convert it over to silvia front and SR. but to do the opposite you will have to modify the firewall and mess with the dash wiring.... id say buy the sil80 and have fun with it tho

x2 if you want rhd buy the sil80, if you want lhd buy a 240 and put a silvia front and sr in it.
