I have a US GS300 and I want to convert it to RHD. Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to pull that off?

Need to find a donor from Japan.

Yeah. you need to buy a front clip from Japan. preferably one that wad cut at the A pillar behind the windshield frame. Besides swapping everything over, you will need to fabricate some brake lines, probably, as your master cylinder will now be on the opposite side of the car. the bonus is that the front clip will come with the Aristo VVTi GTE motor.

It would be a waste ot time and money, it would be an incredibly daunting task. You would be far better off importing one in that is made that way.

Basically.... strip the car down to the bare frame from the B pillar forward on both LHD AND RHD clips. Then drill out all of the spot welds for the firewall. Seperate the sheets of metal and pull the LHD firewall out. slide the RHD firewall in and bend all the sheets back to origanal position. Then go through and spot weld all the locations that have neen drilled out. (Ive even seen people do an extra strip of metal after all the spot welds are filled). Then seam seal it and paint. When the paint is dry re-pin all your electrical plugs to be flipped 180. then reinstall motor, interior, and front panels. its more than it sounds...

Seriously dude? One thread wasn't enough i see...

Basically, this is the process except on a GS.

Because an Aristo can't be legally registered, insured and driven on public roads in the US?

Just guessing.

Wrong, Puff has an Aristo registered and driven in the US. NY I believe.

Getting a grey market car registered and getting one registered legally are two different things. Show me the NHTSA list of legal-to-import vehicles that includes the Aristo. Last time I checked it wasn't on the list.
