it'll cost more than it will cost you to buy another one and have one shipped over to the US, and get across red tape...
hmm...i wonder how much it will cost to have BOTH hand drives...left AND right...just one day you get bored you wanna drive on the right side and another day drive on the left...or you can have 2 people controlling the car at the same time and uhhh, ummm...crash cuz ummm...yeah...nevermind...

Yes.. but if you join the armed forces they'll send you to where the war is at (Iraq) NOT Japan

I saw that conversion done to a acura Integra, they cut out the dash and fire wall and put it in the other car. Also some other stuff came out too for the steering. It was on the Asian dude show where he get 2 body shops to build up 2 identical cars based on a theme and he judges who did the best job.

door handles and inner panels
firewall is different, dash/ center console,wiring,..
underhood wiring,battery,fuse boxes interchange with brakes m/c., new brake lines run on right side.
steering assy,powersteering.. interference with a/c
seat [minor].

I was considering converting to RHD to ship to the Caribbean but ended leaving as LHD when shipped.
I am looking into the project once more..for 2007.

no point in doing such a conversion. i had more experience driving british cars than i did american cars. i was stationed in england. it was pretty fun to drive on the opposite side of the street. hell we had a ton of american cars out there. the government will ship it for free and we just drive our left hand drive cars on the left side of the road. made it hard to pass people but that is how it went...

My freind has a 240 and and ordered a front clip (everything from the steering wheel up) from Japan because he wanted to convert his to right hand drive. I'm not sure if they would have any for a 350Z though because it's a newer car.
Try searching a little bit and if you find one and do the work yorself it shouldn't be to much $$$$$$$.

first buy a clip that has the dash and firewall intact.... then do the firewall swap you just need some knoledge and guts to do it..... ive helped out on a couple honda RHD swaps..... but everything will be switched... like the door handles and stuff on the left side..... unless you spend some cheese and get jdm panels and goodies....
