Here is an idea. Buy this poor soul off of E-bay.

I bet there is quite a few parts you could use.

FWIW this car has been on e-bay for a while it keeps getting relisted and the price has dropped drastically.

Good luck

That was the car that someone here was trying to save recently. Better I think to use it as a donor car to convert another one to RHD rather than try to save the original fairlady shell.

Go for it Brian, you know it makes sense

But you'll never remove the "L" from the VIN

C'mon Victor, a little lead, some careful work with the dremmel. Viola!

Be sure to think this through man, I had a buddy with a '71 fairlady in the portland area.....real nice car, and yes, it had that 'wow factor' but it was annoying to drive in the US, just like what was said about passing a big rig etc. The novelty wears off fairly quickly....I think he eventually dumped it and got a rhd...and that's without wasting all the time and money into changing one from rhd to lhd.

Going through a drive through without p/w is really annoying w/o a passenger as well!!!! heh

Although if you do it, be sure to keep us posted...just wanted you to know what a buddy in Portland Oregon went through with a fairlady.

This sounds like a potentially expensive project... and with the prices for a Z in the US soaring I think it might be worth thinking about this. How about buying a car from Australia and shipping it over? They're much cheaper here, and once you've factored in the cost of the conversion... it might work out cheaper that way - plus it will be a *real* RHD.

Something to think about at least. We don't have many Z's left here though, so finding one might take some time...

if you was thinking of doing a rhd conversion with the car that is on ebay then you might find some of the parts will not fit in a 72 .you would have to use a later car either a 260z or an early 280z because that is basicly what the fairlady is so the parts would be more likely the same.

im really still wanting to do this im just having a hardt ime figuring out what to do:(

i like the idea of getting a real one, if i could find one cheap... but i already have a 72, and it would be just stepping backwards..

Yeah just buy one i did RHD S30 1972 blue I put a L24 because the original engine blew a hole in no 6 cylinder. Had a L24 rebuilt with an e31 head waiting thought why not but i got wiring issues, won't start from key but everything else works. Bought It in Kansas City of all places needed floorpans but otherwise good condition. I also owned a 260, and a 208 and 300zx Z31. I 'll keep my eyes open I always find odd stuff, There was one for sale 3 years ago in KC as well that was RHD 1973 went fast.

Think he's still looking? It's only been 5 years...
