I am brand spanking new to this forum. I'll just start by saying WASSAAAPP. Second I was interested in starting another project of my own. I wanted to get an FD and make it RHD. I was going to do this by buying a fd that was crashed in the front, then cut the front end off and putt a rhd clip from japan. I noticed that the interior center console was designated for whatever side the car is so if you have a lhd FD it bends to the left and the rhd it bends to the right. Does anyone know if it is different or it just looks that way and if they are different where can I get this center peice. (console where shifter and ebrake are. Also, is their any other differences from rhd to lhd that I would have to watch out for. I did this on my s14 and it worked out well. ANd By the way I have a body shop down in south florida so I will be doing this swap myself. I would apreciate your help. IF YOU KNOW ABOUT ANY FD'S CRASHED IN THE FRONT LET ME KNOW.

 

You will need some serious body reinforcements as the welding of the two cars will cause the chassis to be very weak.



You can get pretty much everything you need from an importer of JDM parts.

 

you are better off buying a RHD drive car

 

Thanks guys. As for the weakening part. What if I add a full roll cage? Also are the electricty and brake likes run the same from the lhd version compared to JDM. I refer to the locations under the car from the driver back.

 

Unless you cut and paste somewhere well aft of the cowl, a cage won't help. And IMO, since the entire suspension/engine support will be in front of this section, the welds would also have to be reinforced/backed, since they'll be more brittle than the surrounding metal and ANY failure could/would be a serious issue.
