Thread: Right Hand Drive Conversion Shops?

Just buy a RHD car, you'll be spending more money on the conversion itself.

I own a rhd jdm gti-r in Vancouver Canada. There are well over 500 supra's, fc's, fd's, pulsar gti-r's, skyline gts-t's, r32 gtr's and plenty of other vehicles that are rhd here. Passing is a non issue and it is no more dangerous.. the dangerous part of the vehicle is the guy driving it. I don't see how passing another vehicle is any more dangerous, do you not still check your mirrors and head check? If you're talking about passing in the oncoming traffic lane, well I still don't think that should be done anyways. There are techniques to driving on the right side, including looking through the windshield of the vehicle that is front of you, or pulling more to the right and looking past, or backing off and leaning over to the left to look past. I have plenty enough power to make up the lost space from backing off.

Anyways, I still go through drive thru's, a little bit of an annoyance kuz i have to reach over to pay and get my food, but I avoided drive thru's before anyways.

I've also lived in Japan for a number of years where I drove both LHD and RHD cars on the road. They can coexist, as it has in many parts of the world including asia and europe. North America is not the end and be all of driving.

I do agree converting a vehicle to RHD is kind of stupid, but owning and operating a RHD is a non issue.

a lot of yous guys hate on this stuff. i have two reasons for thinking if he is willing to go through with this, that he should do it.
1 mostly when ordering a front clip, the motor is already mounted, giving it a more sheltered ocean crossing and delivery.

2 if you are in your completely jdm converted sunny but lhd, and a guy with a properly front clipped converted sunny rolls up, his very presence will make you look foolish. on the same note, if you have a badly done job, or get rolled up on by a real rhd, you will look foolish. Its all about how high you are on the foolchain.

You can always get this:

lol^^^^^^

This is only worth the trouble if you get an RHD clip and can do all of your own work. Otherwise, don't bother it isn't close to worth it. Analogous to making SE-R's RWD. Just buy an S13, if you get my drift.

Pun intended.

If you really want to throw money out the window on a full conversion as opposed to just getting a rhd clip, throw some this way! I need a few new things on my 200

OOKK...thanks for all your replies.after reading all of them i think i may just look for a rhd s13 or s14 or something instead.as for the driving rhd in the US thing i think it'll be cool and different.besides im from trinidad and we drive rhd cars. i used to drive my uncle's lhd te30 corolla 2 door all the time and never had problems overtaking or anything like that.i liked driving it more than my own car. but i appreciate all your opinions.

Added some spaces and capitals to the quote so that us non-internet-rice folks could understand.

Seriously though? Yes it would be kinda cool, but whats the point and is it really worth the thousands of dollars?

Do us a favor, take your 240sx, do an SR20DET swap, it will run you up about $3500, and drive a fast car instead of a car that looks "cool" but stinking slow with it's KA24...

Don't be dissin' the ka-t now .
