Left Hand Drive Conversion on a JDM Pulsar GTiR using B13 Sentra LHD Components
Philippine Law Require's imported JDM Cars to be converted from RHD to LHD, since here in the Philippines we drive on the same side as the United States.
(i prefer my rides unconverted, without conversion it would be illegal to drive the car on public roads here in the Philippines)

RNN14 Pulsar GTiR Alpha Model, surplus from Japan purchased at a cost of $4,300 with Crappy LHD conversion done by the importers






Surplus JDM Importers have to do the conversion before the car leaves the port, and they do a VERY bad econo conversion, they flip the harness, cut and extend the wires, flipping the rack and chopping the underbar, reuse the pedals, aircon, steering column, fusebox and SMJ, chop up the dash and epoxy the transfer for the gauge panel from right to left, remove the aircon vents and use flexible ducting, hang the ecu whereever they wanna hang it. they will leave the brake booster on the right and just use a bar with levers to activate brakes from the repositioned pedals, they make a mess of everything, here's what it looks like prior to conversion.

We Start Tearing down the converted dashboard and chopped up wiring, including the bar




here's what the underside of the chopped up dash done by importers looks like, we will be using a proper LHD Dash from B13 Sentra



SR20DET AWD< needs some serious TLC, engine work and tranny work to be done, we will pull everything out


Top Mount Intercooler will be replaced with a Front Mount


Charcoal Canister, wiper motor, Brake MC, clutch Master..etc will all be corrected including the firewall

Hella Messed up Underdash, Bad Conversion


notice, how they just hung everything up and chopped up the ac components, AC blower is located where the ecu on a B13 should be


they chopped up the center panel metal pieces and underbar and used metal hangers to hold everything


with the Dash removed, they used ghetto ducting for the ac system, complete chaos under the dash

Re: Left Hand Drive Conversion on a JDM Pulsar GTiR using B13 Sentra LHD Components
Sorry iIm a pulsar noob...What year are these cars? Once these fall under the 25 year old exemption the converted cars should be eligible for legal import and road use here in the us...

IIRC you will have to massage the dash to get it to clear the interior door panels. I think that the P10 LHD dash will clear the door panels thou.
