Because the Japs, Aussies and Kiwis put them on the correct side. They got changed over on the S14/a in Europe to meet Euro standards, i.e. LHD.

Indicators on the right are ergonomically correct for a RHD car. Quickest example is changing gear. Left hand on gearshift, right hand on steering wheel, need to indicate whilst changing gears, flick stalk without moving right hand off steering wheel.

Now consider the same process, but with the stalk on the left...

Once you start driving the S15, you'll wonder why the feck we Brits have to put up with the stalk on the left...

Upon closer inspection of FAST, it would APPEAR that there are left and right stalk variations for the indicator and wiper stalks...

If you PM me your chassis number, I can confirm this.
