Nissan 240z kits ID help

All,
I am trying to find a 1/24 240z kit that has a LHD dash.

Is there a website that describes kit contents with pics/words?

I know for sure that Fujimi's "Fairlady 240ZL" kit has both RHD/LHD dashes.
I am not sure about the Hasegawa, Aoshima, or other Fujimi 240z kits.

Also, does Aoshima/other company offer a 1/24 RB25DET engine?
Thanks in advance,
Alvin

The Revell kit is LHD. I'm not sure about anything else even though i have one.

I recently saw two RB engines (rb20 and rb25) on 1999.co.jp, unfortunately they were sold out.

Try thepartsbox.com for an sr20det engine if that could go as a replacement for you.

In addition to Z-L, Fujimi's 240ZG and 432R both have LHD dash. I don't think any of Hasegawa 240Z kits have LHD dashboard.

As for the engine, Aoshima's RB20DET should be the closest match, because it's a single-turbo setup, unlike the RB26DETT. They used to sell the part tree separately, but it's discontinued, and can only be found in some (but not all) of their Cefiro and Laurel kits. IIRC, those represents only the top half, so you might want to modify Tamiya's RB26DETT, instead.

Thanks for the help!!
I found this site
http://www.hwjapan.com/
and they have the Cefiro kit with RB20DET, which will be perfect!
I just ended up ordering another Fujimi 240ZL kit, I'll use the LHD in the Hasegawa kit.
