hehe i dont think the question is how tough is it to convert,
prolly more along the lines of how much will it cost to convert?

RHD would be a pain in the ass, and that car isnt worth the money it would cost to properly convert to LHD.

There are a number of RHD skylines/silvias in the middle east though. However they are VERY rare.

It will take you a matter of hours to get used to it.

What takes a few days is where how the signal and the windshield wipers are backward.

Just my experience from driving in Oz.

An S15 Sil-eighty.

Anyone notice that NA is the only place that has S14 '18-via's' (one eight-via)?? You know, the 240's with the flip lights on the front with the silvia trunk.

are you sure you mean the S14 chassis? or the S13? I know we got the "onevia"s for the S13 but I was unaware the S14 had any different bodies besides the hatchback and non-pop up lights.

Oops, you're right. I meant S13.

I asked one of my exporters, he says its about $2000 USD in Japan, before it leaves, plus transportation to the conversion facility.

If you're going to bring it here and swap it, you can just buy a wrecked 240 for super cheap and swap it all over. It would be super cheap if you had someone who could help with modding the firewall.
