I dont think they make a kit for it, it involves a lot of fabrication and a skilled welder, + the parts from a JDM s14, which could probably be attained through a front clip.

do you know where to get the front clip parts for the conversion only, with out getting the engine and transmission?

Might check with after dark tuning or someone like that. I've seen rhd conversion kits on ebay also.

What is the advantage of this conversion?

To mess with cops haha good one. Its because of guys like you that I have to deal with the police giving me the evil eye everytime I drive past them. God...

And to keep it simple, a RHD conversion is going to be a PITA but I you will have my unending respect if you pull if off. Remember, RHD is not illegal, but if you get pulled over, the cop may ask you to pop your hood to check for an illegal engine.

I used to think rhd would be neat. Then the guy with the silvia in Iowa posted about passing. It got me to thinking. I like to pass. I don't like not being able to see around the vehichle in front of me. :batman

it's gong to be a show car so i am trying to put all the onversions that i can on it. Besides i always wanted a RHD car.

Post by **lightningcount** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 9:55 pm

Well I would be cautious with how many conversions you do. Too many might be gawdy, but what do I know I don't have a show car. Hope it turns out nice though. :batman

Seriously, don't go overboard on the conversions. RHD would be awesome though...definately a driving experience.

I've driven RHD before. It's tight, and it's definitely a fun experience, but I wouldn't want to commute in it. If you have two cars, one being RHD, I think that would be a great setup. But again, daily driving a RHD car would probably suck.

yea that passing thing would suck.. u would need to shift over alot to check.. and i love to pass too.. but the best of luck to you.. your gonna find alot of problems and things needed to be done.. your best bet is to buy a RHD silvia on ebay or some ****... search google for RHD kits too

Looks impossible to me. To make it look right, you'll have to have a clip that has the dash and ductwork. The firewall would have to be cut out of the clip and grafted into the "show" car. My vote.........More trouble than its worth. BTW, Ive got a RHD steering rack if your interested. I'll give it to ya.

It's not impossible and I've seen 2 very nicely done RHD conversions. One was in a 240 hatchback and the other was done on an early s14. Both required A LOT of work, effort, time to be properly and neatly completed. However if you are building a show car and want to pull out all the stops it's definitely a conversion that is show worthy.

its pointless, the only reason to have a rhd car is if you got a completely jdm sylvia that came from the factory like that, or if you are a mailman

Spell it right: Silvia. Most people don't daily drive a built showcar only.
