right hand drive conversion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I agree with Diablo... the exhaust on 240's is routed down the left-hand-side of the car. Considering that the Silvia is hugely popular in Japan and Nissan techs probably expected to sell more there, it would make more sense to balance the car for a driver sitting on the right. This wouldn't be an issue on a daily driver, surely, but if you're building a race-ready Silvia converting to RHD might give you better weight distribution.

Or maybe I just don't know anything, considering I have a Civic and can only dream of the day I can build my own S13 Silvia. Personally, though, I think it would be fun and original to have a RHD car, and would be worth a few brownie points from the JDM-heads at car shows.
