you swapped a 1JZ with auto box???

i'd love to get a 2JZ in an R34 for drifting competitions!!! but due to the ease of getting the mounts, we are going for s15's
there is not a lot of jz's r34 in the world... i know one in australia ! it's amazing!!!

nice work mate! also the LHD conversion

your car is unique then!!

i personally would prefer an R154 box

or a V160 but the budget is too high

How the hell did you do a LHD conversion? Are there companies that do them? Where do they get the interior??

the reason why i used an auto 1jz is because my stock engine was automatic too.. and just for the reason that i dont have to change anything.. i let it be that way.. does the job for the meantime.. eats the civics back here hehe.. when the time comes and i feel like i have to change it to manual, dont worry i will hehehe

im still using the original dashboard.. no companies make them.. but we do conversion here in the philippines.. basically they chop the dashboard.. then move it on the other side then a little body filling and paint it up again.. Filipino Style hehehe.. as you can see.. my handbreak is still on the right side..

what they actually do is use a Nissan Cefiro a31 Rack and pinion.. its the closest family that has resemblance to the skylines rack and pinion..

turbos are not on the same side

the turbos of the RB26 are on the left side and on the 1JZ on the right side

yes.. all conversions here in the philippines are custom dashboards.. basically chop from the rightside.. transfer to the left.. body filling and paint..

Did you also "converted" the headlamps? I am wondering what would I do, cause we drive on the "wrong" side too
