audandash Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Hey guys i am looking for a RHD cowl/scuttle panel for my 73 jdm s30. The piece between the windshield and bonnet. I live in the US so you would have to be willing to ship it overseas. It does not have to be perfect but i would prefer decent conditoin. Please let me know if you have one fs and send me what you would like for it. Thanks in advance. I may be interested in a rhd heater box as well but the cowl is the most important thing right now.

audandash Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 Just thought i would ask again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys. Quote
PeterAllen Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I have one but honestly it's not worth the effort to ship it. If the only difference is the location of the wipers why wouldn't you just cut out a 3"x3" square around the wiper section and the same for the new location and transpose the pieces? Quote
audandash Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks Peter. I dont have any cowl right now so i would rather get the right one up front instead of getting one then hacking it up. Quote

If the only difference is the location of the wipers why wouldn't you just cut out a 3"x3" square around the wiper section and the same for the new location and transpose the pieces? im not sure i think the bezel is the same the body is ampedesterace but the wiper mechanism is different i know that for a fact, i think that if someone from the US of A were asking for a bezel they would be aware of this , so what im saying is im confident that an oz bezel is the same anyway i have heaps of rust free bezels Quote
audandash Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 You are correct. The wiper motor linkage etc is differant on a rhd vs lhd. The cowl, bezel, or scuttle panel (heard it called all three) is also differant. The panel depending on rhd or lhd has one hole close to the edge on the drivers side. In the US this is on the far left. Not what i need. I could probably hack one but to get it right would take a lot of work. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 9, 2012 Moderators Posted August 9, 2012 Body bracing is also different under that panel. I helped with a conversion here from LHD to RHD and there was quite a bit of work involved to swap it over. Quote
Scoota G Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Body bracing is also different under that panel. I helped with a conversion here from LHD to RHD and there was quite a bit of work involved to swap it over. Big D, i do not think he is doing a conversion. I think he has a RHD. May i be struck by a large bag of REAL $100 notes if i am wrong. Quote
jamo240 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Chaps I think you guys are making this harder than it is. Our US friend has a Japanese RHD car, so needs a RHD part, which we have access to. So.....why don't one of you guys who has one, just send it at cost plus a bit for your efforts and help him out. That's a much better solution than trying to modify a US one to fit a JDM car. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 9, 2012 Moderators Posted August 9, 2012 Oops..you are right. I'll find a good one and report back... Quote
jamo240 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks Dimitri....I was pretty sure you'd have the parts to help our US mate out...given he's from Texas though...make sure you get something cowboy from him!!!!! Quote
jamo240 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Hey Dimitri....how about some bull horns to go on the bonnet of your Z??? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 10, 2012 Moderators Posted August 10, 2012 Would love a set... I'll find out Saturday morning...our time! Quote
audandash Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Lol you guys are funny. It is a Japanese rhd not a conversion. It has been stripped down and is in boxes i am truing to put it back together and thats one of the few pieces thats hard to find here. I live in Tennesse not Texas. We are the home of whiskey (jack daniels) and shooting stuff, Oh and Nissan USA as well. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 15, 2012 Moderators Posted August 15, 2012 Haven't forgotten, will get back to you within the next day or two... Quote
audandash Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 No worries. I really appreciate it. Quote
