looking for info and parts to make 2nd gen jap drive. anyone tried it? Any pitfalls?

i think that would be way more hassle than it would be worth. there would be an ungodly amount of relocating to be done. and you would have to chop up all of the firewall

It's funny to shift with your left hand! :P

i think it would take me about a minute or 2 to shift with my left hand.

Soul says once you go RHD, you don't want to go back...I guess he'd know.

a friend of mine has a nissan r32 skyline which he let me drive and the shifting was no problem but man being on the righthand side of the car and making a right hand turn really fuked me up. i almost went up on the curb anyways if you do want to do the conversion i can get you the parts from that same guy

yeah, i can imagine almost going over that curb. "SCARY ****" Prolly just need a min or two to get used to it, then it would be no problem
