You must not know the guy who used to own the Converted R32 "NISMO". He's done like 3 RHD conversions on 240s. I can't remember his name.

Anyways, do you realize this is not gonna be a cheap conversion? I know for sure that you atleast need the entire dash, firewall, new carpet, the levers for gas and trunk, and I'm sure even more. PM sucka306 and see if he knows a shop that will do it, since he drives a RHD car. I've thought about doing a RHD conversion, but it isn't practical unless you need attention really bad or want a show car.

Dont forget about all the door parts and misc dash stuff (wiring, switches, steering column, etc.. I met a guy in "HOT"lanta at NOPI last year who did a rhd conversion on an EJ and said he changed almost everything except the rear glass. Plus getting it registered isnt cheap i have heard.
