I don't understand your question. There's a front axle on your car?

You have to change the stearing column, As the RHD is position for RHD and the LHD one for well yes LHD.

So you need to get a LHD stearing rack and TB cable, you can reuse the pedals if you really wanted to.

Not sure if it really pays off but my buddy made is LHD 240SX to RHD it took a little to get used to shifting and about 12 hrs or so to do the total conversion, but he's one of the few in America the are RHD. He loves it but it sucks going throgh Drive-throughs.

To do the swap takes time and sometimes requires swaping the firewall or just cutting holes in your existing one. Personally if i had the time to and money to do it I would. but if time money and lack of a LHD frontclip is a problem then dont worry about it, but if you really want it done save up some money.

If you want LHD, I would just try to find a LHD car you can import.

totally agree on that. just find a company or go to japan and import it back to your place. IT is hard for us to get it but i don't know if it hard or easy for you. so you should ask around and see if u can register it before buying
