    One of my customers has a RHD converted S14 95, with the kouki front, and a RB26 swap needing to be finished and needing paint for $6500.

    Here's a link to more pics

    Nope, if you can buy one, buy it, it's a bitch and takes alot of time to get it perfect.

    ...You have no vision bro.

    RHD is worth it just as long as you pay a reasonable price for the swap. You can get your front cut RHD from JARCO.

    i was gonna do a rhd conversion on my coupe, i went so far as to break down the front cut for the fire wall, it took 2 days to get the front cut broken down and the only reason it went that fast is cause there was no back half of the car to deal with.

    A good friend of mine is doing it right now, and it looks like a lot of work, but will be super sick when he is done, I can already tell.

    You drive a goddamn 240. I see 7 a day just driving to work. You are not driving some rare shit thats even more rare because you're on the other side of the car.

    Plus I have an r33 dash you can have for a hundred bucks for your RHD and you dont see it everyday.

    look at me, I need to make my car unique so I can feel special... YAY, it's a car, not a fashion accessory
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    I went with rhd because it was much more cost effective in keeping it twin turbo. I could have went with the $1000+ mckinney mounts and downpipe, though I would rather have my second turbo's downpipe be circular rather then their semi circle wall restriction they make. So I'd rather spend 10hrs and parts for free rather then getting jewed out of 1g.
