I wouldn't pay a damn thing... I own an S14.

[silviaks2nr]

I wouldn't pay anything for that either

[07 Subaru tr]

Why tho what's wrong with it?

[silviaks2nr]

I mean, unless you're a rural mailman and the USPS is somehow paying to convert the car to RHD there's really no point. It's just a silly fanboy conversion that's far more work than it's worth.

[07 Subaru tr]

I work at a body shop. I'm just asking is what it comes with worth it?

[xoxide]

Worth what? You never said what you paid.


For me, I wouldnt pay more than $500 for everything sitting there. But I also own an S14.

[07 Subaru tr]

I payed 700

[coupesallday!]

Well than you overpaid.

[07 Subaru tr]

What's a good price

[Kingtal0n]

dont listen to these haters they are just jealous.

Do your research and convert your car to RHD. It will dramatically increase the value and its perfectly legal if you do it right.
from what I see, that is a very clean clip. I see some good stuff in there. That radiator and fan shroud alone is worth $150+

I see some A/C components as well. Very clean dash. good find.

Adding it up, you can nickel and dime that clip out and have paid zero. Those strut tower mounts are worth something if they are good probably $40~+
I also see a Side mount intercooler. thats another $50-$120 depending where you sell it (I would sell on ebay for $88 + shipping).
obviously if the shocks are good and the front shocks are there that is worth a hundred or more all together.
And the brakes/rotors is probably worth something, not much but every little bit counts.

JDM cluster is worth something. Not sure how much but at least $50+
power steering res plus lines another $40~


And that leaves you with the dash, steering rack, firewall, pedals, etc... to do your RHD conversion. An OEM 1992 240sx with absolutely NO modifications besides RHD conversion instantly goes up in price over a thousand dollars.
IF ITS DONE RIGHT. Take pictures of every little thing that is done. If the work is not clean, it wont be worth a damn nickle. car value will drop.

You over paid by a lot.I got mine minus couple parts for $50

Yea I was planing on parting out the stuff I don't need. Thanks

Considering people would buy a front clip and throw the clip away after pulling what they need for the swap...yes, you over paid. I'd pay $700 for that if it had the body panels.

This.

Back in the day at least 50% of swaps where done with a donor front clip. 50% of SR swapped cars are not RHD - this tells me most of these parts ended up in the scrap yard.

[jr_ss]

I was a prick earlier, but these threads are useless...

If you want to do a RHD swap and have the skill, knowledge and means available, by all means go ahead. I personally think its a waste of time and money. In the end, you can buy a RHD 180sx and drive it legally, on the street without having to "swap" it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

RHD car with LHD window switches...WIN!!!

[07 Subaru tr]

And another thing I wanna ask. I wanna do LS swap, rhd should still work right? I think the starter is pretty close but idk

[WristWork]

Why would it be any different from a LHD car?

[07 Subaru tr]

I don't no just asking I never really hear of a rhd LS swap

[cfish462]

Check out his build. He has a pretty trick bracket that relocates the starter to the left side.

[07 Subaru tr]

Anything on s13 rhd LS?

[xoxide]

You got digital climate control, thats kinda neat...

[Corbic]

Anything on s13 rhd LS?

You'll have to get the flex-plate and starter out of an Australian car. This way you can swap them. I think you may also need the transfer case from an Evo III and have it welded up to clear the firewall.

There was a guy NICO that did this. You should see if they can help you as I don't remember his name.

Always thought this conversion was stupid. I wouldn't put it on my car if I got everything for free.

But to each his own.

$700 is way too much.

[ultimateforce]

It looks like someone bought a SR20DET swap, took the Silvia front, and sold you the junk he was going to throw away.

[07 Subaru tr]

Is it worth it tho? I mean it has everything I need right?

[Corbic]

Except the rhd ls1 swap parts.

[living4surf]

Fueled racing as a ls swap kit for rhd

[07 Subaru tr]

I just looked at the ls swap from there ad it's 3450.00. Sikky has a kit for 1750.00. Anyone no a good quality kit that's not gonna break the bank?

[jsu1012]

so is this you?

looks to be the same clip. it's still for sale too...

[07 Subaru tr]

Yea he's holding it

[jsu1012]

Yea he's holding it

gotcha. I don't think it was that bad of a deal.. a lot of the ac shit is there. clean dash... shit like that. like someone mentioned earlier, you could part it out and get your money back.

[07 Subaru tr]

And I'm not gonna use a/c so i will parting that. So if ur interested lol

[DJ 21o3]

The only way to get a LS swap without breaking the bank is break your back and fabricate it all yourself. The kits are expensive for a reason: they took the worst part of the job out of the equation and that is finding what works.

I have a friend who wanted to do a RHD s13 and he found decent empty clips for around $200-$300 so i feel you over payed. But at the same time, that clip does look pretty clean.

[jsu1012]

pm'd. i have a/c on mine, but wouldn't mind spare parts.

[07 Subaru tr]

Just picked up the front and got it for 5005793757938

[Artworks]

all the major components are there, but the tiny stuffs that gonna take a lot of time to source, GL with the swap

[07 Subaru tr]

Thanks! Some stuff is for sale too. Let me know if u want some stuff

[07 Subaru tr]

So little update. For all the people that say this is a wast of money.. I talked the guy down to $500.00. I sold stuff hat I will not be using for $463.00 and still have more to sell + the stuff of my Lhd car. So I will be making money on the clip. And the time I'm spending on this, it my car and its something icalways wanted to do. I'm doing it my self so will cost no money besides materials.

[Chaluska]

hopefully you do the swap properly.. and reseal the firewall correctly... ive seen quite a few shady conversions. GL man

I've seen some fkd up RHD conversions here in houston... There was one guy here in houston running around with the firewall not even attatched to the car, its just sitting there somehow with tape holding it from the top. Theres a 2" gap around most the the RHD firewall, you can see inside the car from the engine bay. pretty crazy...

ACtually i found the car on here for sale, hope no one bought it! LMAO
