ok well im about to TRY a RHD conv i have automatic 89 coupe and a 92 180sx front clip and im going to cut out the fire wall and replace it with the 180 fire wall ive never done anything this big before but it doesnt look that hard (i know i will run into problems along the way im expecting that)but im woundering if any body out here has done a rhd conv and if you can tell me some of the problems you came to or any support you can offer i appricate any wisdom you can pass on I am a autobody tech so im not worried about the actual metal work its more along the lines of the mechaenics of it all what am i going to have to modify or change or is it going to be the same as just doing a sr swap without changidng the heater hoes's

OOoooo boy. I suggest you search. This topic comes up often unfortunatly. Most people on this forum won't have much of anything positive to say about a RHD conversion.
Search and find out why.

Did the 180 "clip" come with the motor and tranny? You should swap those over, then sell the rhd parts to some other kid who doesn't know what they're doing... That way you can afford coils and/or LSD.
How is it that you are ambitious enough to take on a project like this, but at the same time so friggin lazy you can't even use the search engine?

its not that im lazy i really dont know how to use these communist computers and i dont really know what a search engine issssssssssss any way the clip was free from a freind i had this 89 auto with a fucked up motor setting around so i figured why not try for those of you who say its dangrouse to drive a rhd in u.s. yea its a little diffrent but not hard if you dont drive like a rich teenager who wrecks cars and then excpects mommy and daddy to buy you a new one had a beat up old mail truck that i used to dick around with for about four month traded some easy work for it no resone really but it is not dangrouse to drive a rhd in the u.s. like so many say i know people who do it all day long for years no problems
