El Nene 7 and anyone else doing this or wanting to do this I would be glad to help you through it. I was very serious in my blog that if you need to ask what is involved you do not need to be performing this swap at this time. You just will end up sorry you tried it. Either research on here follow the people that are doing it and learn what needs to be done before trying or abandon the idea.
Talking on PM with El Nene 7 it seems he has the means to complete the swap so I will gladly help you.
I posted a list of parts you will need I forgot some things like the front sub frame, accel cable. Maybe some other stuff but nothing you won’t notice along the way. A good rule is if you need to take it out of your car then you will need to replace it with JDM part.
The swap can not be done with the motor in the car! The harness is very hard to get out there is allot of stuff it goes to. Believe me it will be a pain removing the front harness.
If anyone has specific ?s you can ask them here on PM or in the blog. Please keep them more specific it is a pain listing for 10 people how do I do this or can you walk me through the swap. I get them all the time on PM and no I cant but I can help you.

The conversion took me 3 saturdays. I striped the JDM body harness and re wraped it took me another 2 days. Put evrything back together IE RHD stuff will take about 1 full day another day working all the kinks out.
The time just depends on your tools and how good you are.

To the creator of the thread, please do prove me wrong on this. I understand the novelty of what you're trying to do, and you'll probably do well in the import car show scene with a RHD. Have fun in traffic though.
