I have no idea how but you better plan on spending more than the car is worth trying to switch it over, ur best bet would be to buy a new 1 from japan or w/e and ship it...the cost to do that is not worth it. If you have the cash go for it...ull be 1 of the only ones in the US with a right had 8

Now...why the HELL would you want to do that? So you can be blind making left turns? lol god damn.... i hate people trying to be all japanese and ****..i mean theres a limit on how ridiculous you can get. You do know why japanese cars are right hand drive right? It serves no purpose here in USA. Sorry about that , got a little worked up there . That post just reminded me of my ricer acquiantance....

Get a US Postal carrier vehicle and drive it for a week to see if you like driving on the right hand side.
The GTRs and such that only are made in Right hand drive would be the main reason to have it that way. or if you like shifting better with your left hand...
If you are looking for something rare to do to your car change the climate control to the automatic. That would be cool.

for parts you need, steering rack, steering colum, dash board, AC heater.
there are parts that are not worth the trouble and no one will notice

And have fun having a completely street illegal car. Whenever the cops pull you over it'll be a good laugh until they stick a number of tickets to your *** and impound your car?

in my case its a litle diferent, im not doing it for fun, in my country it was legal (at least there was no law that prohibit it) so a lot of people imported JDM cars, now a law was pass making it ilegal, so its either converted or sell it for parts

I want to do it simply because I want a unique rx8, I had no idea that rhd were illegal in the US. Since I know of at least 15 people that own and drive them in multiply states. Either way I got the info I was looking for, thx for all of your voices. If you see a rhd you know whos it will be.
