trust me, you don't want to attempt a conversion. i can pretty much guarantee that the rhd s13s you've seen are imports. it would actually be cheaper and easier to have one imported than convert it. besides, converting a car to rhd doesn't make it any faster. if you want authenticity, then import an authentic japanese car.
