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
Cheers

Could you take some pictures of it, please? 
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.

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

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