Nissan 240sx RHD conversion / sr20det drift car

This car was converted by me at my shop, Vision Speed Factory, to a RHD Sil80. The car started off as a 1989 Nissan 240sx. I used a front clip from a type-x 180sx to get the blacktop sr20det, the interior, the firewall, and all the other rhd parts. I cut the firewall out of both and welded the RHD one into the 240sx, then swapped over all the parts. The car is gutted out, because it's main purpose is a drift car.

is RHD in this street legal? or is it a long process to get it street legal? i was thinking to do this to my 240 as well, but if i won't be able to drive it on the road, kind of defeats the purpose for me.

@MehsterChief yea it's street legal... there's nothing in the law about having a car RHD.. it's still registered the same way and passes inspections like it did before being converted. I live in PA though, so the laws might be different other places.

there is no such thing as a j-spec 240. for god's sake people!!! S13's are 180sx's or Silvias over there. Only stupid america calls them 240's cuz we were the only ones to get the truck engine.

@NISSAN240SX18SWAGGAP The 240sx came with the same engine as the nissan hard body truck... thats why the KA24 is referred to as the "truck motor"

hey, y dnt you guys just import a 180sx, i dont knoe ur laws or anything but i knoe that america only got the 240 cause nissan thought that americans would like a bigger engine, unlike australia where we got 180sx i love the sr20det :)

[joereece865]

how long did it take to swap all of it??

[n40798]

But why did you cut the cars in half? Why didn't you just keep both cars as they were and have two cars instead of only one car?

@MehsterChief its street legal there's no law that says you have to drive on either side of the car I checked for months and asked highway patrol officers and police officers before doing my RHD conversion but I still run with ka24de on my s14.5
