hey guys i was just wondering what it would take to convert a lhd supra to rhd i know theres no advantages to it but i was just curious as to how one would go about doing a swap like that? would you need a front clip or just harness and dash? thanks

A LOT of work and a LOT of money. Its extremely complicated.
edit: Just as a start you'd also need a different firewall, along with the dash, harness, steering rack.

Just get a RHD clip and if everything is their then you should be able to do it but it is alot of work.
Cut your old fire wall out, put the RHD one in, swap the steering racks, flip the body harness and switch the door harnesses, put the RHD dash in, and put the steering wheel back in.
That being said, I'm doing it to mine. Lol. Only reason is because I got the clip for free and the swap done for an incredible discount, probably free also. :evil2:

Really. Unless you are just trying to make it look like it's a real JDM supra. Which in itself really isn't much of a reason. I just think that it is way to much trouble if all you're trying to do is make the car appear JDM. Not trying to be to harsh or anything but I just don't see the point, but whatever.
Honestly I dont see it being terribly complicated. As long as you get an empty RHD clip (without engine and trans) and you are a decent welder it shouldnt be too bad. The RHD clip gives you everything you need. Its basicly just pulling the motor and interior, cutting and welding the RHD firewall in and swapping over all the RHD parts.
I personally have always wanted to do it.

Dont forget you have to swap the upper firewall also under the window so your wippers work right.
Also a RHD MKIII is verry cheap to begin with id just buy the whole car for 5-7000 then switch the parts the redefines the cars identification this is legal if you own both cars! just tell them you repainted it & changed the fire wall/parts DMV will accept it if proven and can provide evidence or paper work. They will use the special rivets for it also.

I understand if you would want to do Skyline LHD or sumtin... but something back to RHD?? :runaway: yeah. exactly, back to. 
I drive both L and RHD I don't see why you would want to swap it either but it is cool for the first little bit.

I personally wanted to do this bc of one, the inability to afford a rhd vehicle and two its not to look JDM to me, its more or less something I think Id like better and a little more unique here stateside. Thats just me though, some people think its stupid but I think itd be a fun project.
