Ok, you take your car like a 240sx and buy a jdm front clip of a Silvia. Then take yours and get a very skilled guy to convert it to right hand drive and swap the engine components. I am not saying I am going to do this. I just thought of listing it.
 
Why would you want to do that? Why would you go to the bother of converting it to RHD?

I don't get your point. Then what?
 
1) Buy parts
2) Swap to JDM front end and RHD
3) ...
4) PROFIT!!

Edit: Seriously though, a front clip wouldn't include everything you'd need... like the new interior pieces. I don't think you can just flip the dashboard around :)
 
Well thats pretty pointless... 240sx isn't ugly or anything and whats the point of making it look like a Silvia.... And even if you did change the front part... Do you need to change driver positions? If you like the Silvia exterior styling just change that...
 
Too much work for so little profit. A JDM clip can cost some serious dollars. One should just look into finding a good importer and just get a RHD stock.
 
I would understand wanting the 2.0l Turbo, and if you've got a whole front clip then I would also understand switching the front end parts to make it look like a JDM car, as they are better looking. Switching what side the steering wheel is on doesn't really make much sense though... and it'd probably be more work than the engine swap :)
 
I just thought of something too.

A word that starts with r, and ends with -ice. :p

(never mind, I missed the part about the engine components. I thought it was just like the guy who wanted to turn his IS300 into an "Altezza". Sorry.)
 
I don't often take the trouble of posting in threads for a single word, but in this case I'll make an exception.

I think the idea of turning it to RHD is kinda...stupid.
