The middle east has been doing it for a while. All cars have to be LHD period. So they use specific year versions of "maxima" and "altima" dashboards and firewalls that very very similar in shape and size to R33 and R32 original dashboards! If I remember basically you use a similar generation maxima or altima or whatever they call it in your market. I attached some actual pictures!

I remember when I went to Costa Rica for business one of the guys in the lab I was working in showed me a few lhd skylines you could just straight up buy from the used car trader website. I don't remember the name of the website but, you can definitely get one.

Cool...I wonder if there is like a place in Japan that converts them to LHD before they get shipped....
As I can't see it getting converted when they get down there...CR denies access if it's rhd
but I know Japan partner used to offer the RH-LH service!!
