Default Enemy S15 LHD to RHD build..

Not much info to go along with it. I decided to stop my Rb25 build and go into this RHD business..... All the work was done by me up until the welding. It took a bit to get this done due to my hectic work schedule, school, and good ol typical Florida weather. Total time including the welding @ Raw Brokerage =6 months. It's my first build thread so take it easy on me. :dblthumb:

And the fun begins
Day 1 = 6hours total.. Started to remove the seam sealer from car and clip. I marked all the spot welds that needs to be removed with a purple sharpie.

Day 6 = 8 1/2 hours. Removed windshield (which I had almost completely removed until I sneezed and cracked it. lol) and started plasma cutting my car (got sick seeing how many more spot welds and all the metal I had to remove , so cue in the plasma cutter :woot

Since I got pretty tired of running into snags with the weather, having limited time to do the work, and my pops too busy to weld for me. I went ahead and sent it over to Ricky and the crew @ Raw Brokerage to get mocked, fitted, and welded. These photos are property of Raw Brokerage.

Next stop... to the paint booth. I am getting the interior and engine bay painted either Gt-R Titanium grey, R34 Gt-R Silica Breath Metallic, or R34 Gt-R Millennium Jade. (Your opinions which color to choose??)

Coming soon... S1 500hp Rb25det build and the remaining build on body and suspension.

yeah man, between you, and this guy, it's good to see some proper RHD conversions being done... not some random missing peices hack job welded in with a Harbor Freight gasless flux core welder...

props to both you guys, if i ever to a RHD conversion, i'll probably mimic your ways.....
