difrangia Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm fairly new at these Ratcars, and I know I might get sent to the principals office for asking, but has anyone converted one of these coupes to left-hand-drive?? These are beautiful little machines. Just got my 620 Longbed running after a valve job the other day and I'm fairly well bitten by 'Datsun Fever'. Steve Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Not to my knowlege, but if I understand correctly, this was a LHD 2dr sedan converted into a "coupe"... 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 has anyone converted one of these coupes to left-hand-drive?? Why would you? :rofl: I know a few fellows who are threatening to do it, but like Carter said I don't think anyone ever has... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Why would you? :rofl: I know a few fellows who are threatening to do it, but like Carter said I don't think anyone ever has... Were any converted for driving on Okinawa? I know a lot of Japanese cars became LHD for driving on the base down there... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Were any converted for driving on Okinawa? I know a lot of Japanese cars became LHD for driving on the base down there... FWIW, mine was on Okinawa for over two years back in '75-77, so... Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Why would you go to all the trouble of painting a car and not color match the core support? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 FWIW, mine was on Okinawa for over two years back in '75-77, so... Interesting... maybe it was privately brought over and never converted. Either way, good to know. Did Coupes make it into Europe at all? I know there are LHD Laurels floating around Norway.

datsunfreak Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Did Coupes make it into Europe at all? I know there are LHD Laurels floating around Norway. As well as plenty of LHD Skylines, but no Coupes. Bluebird Coupes were only officially sold in Japan and South Africa. And the South African cars were assembled down there, not in Japan. 1 Quote Link to comment
