dudes dudes! if you wanna do all this, the whole swap and change over everything the entire car, the labor alone is gonna cost you up your butt! The labor for the front conversion would cost like $2,000 the rear would be even more because you would have to change the whole rear framing and stuff... so thats like maybe $3,000+ then the interior with the whole swap tot he RHD thats gonna cost like $5,000 thats how much it is to go from right to left, so ill just say the same price from left to right lol. The engine swap will cost you another $3,000 with everything to work right, then the tranny another $1,000 dont know what else you gonna be changing over and want labor prices, and these are all off top of my head, im sure people can do it cheaper, but think about it thats $14,000 right there for all the work and labor. Then if you put parts like for the engine $2,000 the maybe a rebuild for that and parts and labor another $2,000 then front conversion pieces another $2,000 rear conversion parts about $1,000+ interior another $2,000 or soo.... so $14,000+$9,000= $23,000 and what do you accomplish for $23,000 + the price for the car $7,000 = $30,000....

Dude for $30,000 if i were you i would personally go down to Japan or Australia and pick out a Silvia of your choice and buy it on the spot for like $15,000 then ship it here to the US for another $5,000 and WALLAA!! You save $10,000 and no wasting all that time swapping , hasstles, waiting for ever and ever for it to be done...

Thats kinda what i was thinking doing with a Skyline when i sell my GT500E for $40,000 in a few months, just gonna go down to Japan or Australia and buy me a SKy and ship it over.

Im sure some of my numbers are probably higher than other, but im just giving you an idea and its gonna be freaken pricy and time consuming. INO go with plan B , go to JAPAN and ship one over.
