No righthand drives in the US...only mail trucks. Not sure which plant makes the Z's for Japan. Im guessing Nissan could point you in the right direction.

It's very likely Tochigi for both LHD and RHD based on a previous press release and http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCU.../ff2003_16.pdf .

Unfortunately the Nissan plant I visited in Oppama (there are two there) was the one where they build the Cube, Cube Cubic and March. I forget if they were all RHD. The other plant Oppama is where they built the Z at the time (before moving it to Tochigi) but they said they couldn't take the public in there because they were building some other unreleased car inside.

The Toyota and Mazda plants I visited in Japan had both RHD and LHD drive cars of all different models coming off the same line (they didn't necessarily even have a few of the same model in a row). For example, at the Mazda Hiroshima plant, I saw the Eunos Roadster (aka Miata), 626, and MPV all on the same line, some RHD and some LHD.

No 350Zs are made in the US.
