Conversion Of Right Hand Car Drive by ebube123: 9:25am On Jun 24, 2018 |
Hi, please house I want to ship right hand car drive from Ireland to Nigeria but I don't know if it will be good to do that. I will convert it to left hand drive in Naija but one of my friend told me that conversion of cars always give problem with time. Please I need advice on whether I should still carry on with the importation or not. Thanks |

Pls don't... It will never work perfecmanual21 Its almost the same as converting your automatic gear to manual |

ebube123: Yes you can import right hand drive and no it doesn't give issues when converted right by a qualified technician. The only caveat I will give you is to make sure selected vehicles are available in nigeria don't go and import a stand alone ride that will need modification instead of direct swap of parts 2 Likes |

@ebube123 the immediate poster above will not be there when the flood of sorrows pile up.... When autologic honmusa and co start kazeeming the carcass of your car. Delete the thought from the recesses of your head. Ain't worth the stress, effort or the money 1 Like |

nurey: You should have added that it won't come cheap if a qualified technician is to do the conversion. |

Readonee35L:If you live in Ibadan.. you won't mention Micra. To the pijo non of them is worthy of conversion. Accord? The leg problems are enough without any manipulation |

ebube123:Don't get your self killed. An American spec with lhd I'm sure will be cheaper than the rhd you want to buy. You'd also spend money doing an imperfect conversion. |
