RHD vs LHD

  

ozHummer -> RHD vs LHD (4/30/2008 2:08:47 PM)

Just a bit curious about the subtle differences between the US assembled H3 and the RHD version that is assembled in South Africa...

I have crawled under and over my H3 and it appears plenty of components are made in Mexico! - Suspension is Canada and anything printed is the USA - The only SA made part are the tyres!..... But how about hings like the park brake, is the US version a foot operated item like most US vehicles or is it a T leaver beside the steering column like the Australian version ? any other differences ??

Oh - and I'm talking 08

Could you take some pictures of it, please?  [:D]

I had a RHD 5 speed Nissan when I was stationed in Portugal...  It was a blast... especially when everybody used to walk to that side...

KD, the parking brake is foot operated.  Not sure about other differences/similarities.

It looks like the RHD's have some side marker lights in the front that stick out??  unless they are aftermarket those look different...

Your wipers go the wrong way!

How about a cockpit shot or two? From what I've seen on other RHD H3s I think the center console is the same, with the primary radio controls on the left, accessory outlets on the right, etc.

justin08 -> RE: RHD vs LHD (4/30/2008 6:23:57 PM)

i'll take some pics tonight and later mirror them in photoshop for your bemusement :D

Besides your side marker lights, I believe that everything else is just flipped

hma03 -> RE: RHD vs LHD (4/30/2008 6:52:45 PM)

I think the engine direction is different for the northern hemisphere. Yours goes down then up and in Oz ours goes up then down!

ozHummer -> RE: RHD vs LHD (4/30/2008 11:21:49 PM)

Also - everything south of the equator goes anti-clockwise while north of the equator goes clockwise! - or is it the other way around?......

Oh - and those marker lights are indicators (turn signals). All cars in Australia must have turn signal lights on forward side of the car ... We have little red reflectors over the small buttons on the rear plastic bumper just under the tail lights. ....

The rear door still opens the wrong way !

Follow the links below for pics of my RHD 08 H3 Lux - Colour (sorry color[;)]) is Torch Metallic....

Give me your comments on whether or not I should colour the rear tyre cover ? - or should I leave it black ????
 
All of the next photos are various inside shots ...

at least we can see the things on the passenger side of your car 

Cali_Jay -> RE: RHD vs LHD (5/1/2008 1:59:02 AM)

looks pretty much the same. except of course with the obvious difference being that you guys have right hand drive. the little red reflectors under the taillights and your side markers that stick out.

Cali_Jay -> RE: RHD vs LHD (5/1/2008 2:00:12 AM)

oh yea and that you guys have the e-brake lever instead of the foot pedal.

ozHummer -> RE: RHD vs LHD (5/1/2008 2:49:44 AM)

I think there is something funny with our fuel filler too as the chrome item on the H3X apparently doesn't fit ! - I've wacked a photo of that on the net too - link below... Let's know if the US one if the same or if it is different - how ?
