Am I getting this right? You have an MA61L Chassis, and you want to make it to an MA61R Chassis with the steering wheel on the right... It would be cheaper getting a whole car if that is the case.
If it just to change the steering wheel, I don't see any difficulty in changing the wheels as they *may* share the same Boss on the spline, but finding the Australian Spec wheel would be difficult.
Cheers.

I hate to be pedantic, but yes to which question.
Is it :
1. Making a RHD car out of a LHD, or
2. Just putting in an Aussie version Steering wheel on a LHD car ?
I may have RHD Steering wheel for sale soon if that is what you want.
Postage will be a bitch, but if you want it it is here
Cheers

Yep, he wants to convert his USDM LHD MA61 to a RHD model, for something different.

cmg is correct. I am going to switch to be driving my car on the right side of the vehicle. Right now I am in a research phase. I am not going to be buying any parts for about 9 months. As I just figured out that the body work wont cost as much as I had originally planed it may be sooner though. Right now I am looking to open lines of communication with the necessary people and find out what I can.

One question : WHY ?
Make it harder to drive on the Right hand side of the road in a RHD car.
Each to his own !
Good luck with the Conversion.
Cheers

As I stated in my first post I am going for the uniqeness of it. As nobody in Colorad has a right side driver I will have the only one(Supra at least). I actually think that driving on the right side of the road would be easier since I hug the far right of the road most of the time(excepting corners)anyways.
