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 speedNissanwhen 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...

 

here's a pic of my RHD H3

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.

 

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

 

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!

 

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 !
