Hello sir, Any car can be converted, as long as it was designed from inception to have LHD and RHD configurations. Some cars are dated easy to convert( most European cars), while some are difficult , requiring the removal and replacement of the engine firewall bulkhead( Some Japanese brands), if you want to do it professionally. What car are we talking about here sir? Motorguru |

Kewtt:ifiniti m35 2007, or Mazda 3 2010 and I really don’t know if I can find the complete available parts needed for car conversion in the Nigeria market. but’i read some articles on the internet, about a car conversion. Based on what what I read the experience After conversion is not too good, it’s very scary. I’m a little bit worried |

Tooka666: It can be converted and would cost much especially that infiniti, you can't even cut corners for that one cause it would be glaring no trick except done by the books. both have the LHD variant just go to spare parts market and confirm price of needed parts then follow a qualifies technician to do it. I never knew a RHD M35 exist only seen the G35 skyline with the 2.5L engine in RHD form |
Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by Lexusgs430: 12:55pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Tooka666: Then why not just buy an original LHD vehicle? |

Lexusgs430:No, that'd make too much sense and we don't use logic around here. 2 Likes |

Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by Nobody: 1:08am On Jan 05, 2019 |
nurey:bro I appreciate your kindness. M35 is the same as Nissan fuga in Japan |
Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by Readonee35L(m): 1:59am On Jan 05, 2019 |
nurey:A rhd M35 exists Its called the nissan fuga . I actually see one around me this days. It's a silver fuga already converted it spots a 2.5L v6 . |
Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by Nobody: 11:50am On Jan 05, 2019 |
Lexusgs430:Yes I will try to get LHD just to safe all those stress of conversion, actual these car are too good for me to let go off my eyes, just imagine 2013 2010 2011 Mazda 3 or 6 buying and shipping for about 3k dolls. Which is approximately 1m Naija naira. Imagine Nissan fuga which is known as ifiniti m35 is even the cheapest is about 700 to 800 dolls from 2007 to 08 models Nissan dualis which is called Qashqai Bro I did my rough calculations at the end of the day I will pay for clearing roughly 3 to 400k naira or more then I will pay for conversion and the parts it might cost 3 to 400 k or more I believe there must be some minor expenses too But With all these rough estimate which is about 2m my heart will still be shaking if they can convert properly or not Actually to convert here is better but it will cost roughly 3500 dollars which is 1.sumtin million naira. My brain is working like clock now I traveled to nija oct 2018 came back dec 1st. Hoping to flex with my car I sent home in 2016. I find out my younger bro sold it out I know what dat sun can really do to someone without a drive. And these small small yahoo boys sef no let me see road them they oppress anywhere I enter these people no let me drink water put cup for ground sef. Even the women na strong eye we take they push Dey go. I was lucky to have a loaded pocket doe. 1 Like |

Tooka666: Where exactly you dey abeg? |
Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by Lexusgs430: 12:00pm On Jan 05, 2019 |
Tooka666: If you don't live with in Nigeria, no point keeping and owning a car in Nigeria. It would simply just be a wasted investment (depending on how many times you travel to Nigeria, to justify vehicle ownership) Loads of other options available, uber, taxify or self drive rentals........ 1 Like |
Re: Vehicle Steering Conversion by nurey(m): 1:07pm On Jan 05, 2019 |
Tooka666: If buying and shipping Nissan Fuga is 700k, clearing is 400k that's 1.1m, tokunbo is 3m+ here you and I are upto something. Just buy the required LHD parts there and an extra exact brain box, yeah nissan strolls into code like it likes pack am inside the car and weld the doors shut if possible, clear the car and you just made converting easier for yourself 1 Like |
