I just picked up a 180sx lock cylinder with a key due to mine shorting out all the time. My question is will the rhd steering column covers just bolt right on to a lhd car and clear the blinker and wiper switches?

I don't think so unfortunately...
I have swapped my wiper and blinker switch for some coming from a kouki 180SX RHD, and now my LHD column cover won't fit...
So I am looking for a RHD column cover to clear the switches....

If you have a RHD column and want to trade, I am ready :angel:

They do not. I converted to rhd, so the info is credible.

Rekey USDM Cylinder to match 180sx Key.

I tried this on mine and the they are Clocked Diff on the Steering column (which i why the upper part doesn't work) and angled more on the JDM cars.

+ some of the wiring is diff also on the Back of the Cylinder.

It fits only if you trim the USDM upper Cover. It's looks a bit haggard but it will work. The RHD stuff will not fit LHD cars.

the upper cover is a different shape, and the lock cylinder is angled more.
the hole in the cover for the lock to come through it is different as well.

found this out when i bought one of those "JDM KEY RING LIGHTS FROM 180sx" from here on zilvia...and put it on my real 180sx..and it didnt fit. the lhd key right surround part was completely useless and i didnt feel like hacking the rhd one.
