right hand conversion

[KRPSICHI3]

I drive a RHD 180sx because we drive on the opposite side of the road. If I go back to the states I will be happy with a RHD car. It is more practical. If you have that much money to throw around how about making your car insanely fast is my opinion.

I never knew that you were the Paul he talks about.

LOL I'm affraid what he's said about me...... not really... he's a good guy.

Have I ever met you then? Just curious.

Have you ever come to south florida and gone to tower shopps with him? If not, it's likely we don't know each other.

its just welding in the fire wall and hooking it back up? if i got a clip... why does it cost 2 grand??

[Movingviolation240]

labor, why do they charge all that money to do an RB swap when it almost bolts right in? LABOR

is it possible to make my left hand drive 240sx into a right hand drive silvia. i already have a s-15 enginge on the way should arive in about a week. but i was wondering if i could do some sort of conversion so that it would be a right hand drive car so it would be more like a real silvia

lol... why in gods name would you want to convert to a RHD car?

Seriously, I understand why there are RHD cars and I know that for a person that grew up in a country where that exists.... that's cool.

but to convert a car to RHD in a country of LHD cars seems pretty silly. How would you overtake and pass cars safely on small roads, highway etc... ?

There is absolutely NO gain in performance from going to RHD, only seems to cost alot & increase traffic accidents, traffic tickets..... could end up costing you alot in the long run to own a RHD vehicle.

Just my opinion though, so take it as such.

See, thass where you're wrong, there is a performance upgrade if you swap to rhd. Drop in an rb26 and there ya go! Enough performance??

Actually if you want to run the really crazy turbo settup's out of Japan you have to do that because they don't fit otherwise (trust me I know this for a fact with my old CA).

....ofcourse there will always be rare and extreme situations where converting might be justified but I dont think that applies in most cases =)

Are you saying that I cant run a crazy turbo set up with out going RHD?

take care,n

[Movingviolation240]

No you can, but you will more than likely have to do some crazy mods to the manifold, brake booster, and wastegate like I did to make it all work. I think it would have been cleaner to have done the swap on my old S13. Some of the manifolds and turbo set's fit better than others, so it all depends on which brand you go with.

Yea, I like the 'quiz' kinda makes it hard to disagree

Some of it is a bit 'out there' but overall the site makes great sense. Also check out RKBA.org and http://www.mallninja.com

You know why people want to do it. cuas thay can. if you have all the parts left over and have the skills to do it why not. you say its not origanal but here in seattle i have seen one RHD civic and thats it. I whould love a RHD sil-eighty.

[SpeedRacer1]

One RHD car up here in Seattle huh, you dont get out much :P Even if I had all the pieces and someone told me that they would do it for me for free or give me a JDM 180SX id just keep my LHD car. Less hassle everywhere I go.

[drumma022]

On the contrary to public opinion. i love RHD. It just feels right for some reason. I had the priveledge to drive the RHD, and I loved every minute of it. For some reason, drifting is easier as well. I cant explain my reasoning, but I fully support RHD all the way. Just call me riceboy #1 from now on!!!
