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

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
