Hi Karl
It does sat GT but as its an import its not one, GT's are only UK cars. I'd say that one is more a Version T as it has no Brembos. JDM are different specs:
Base---17" wheels, ABS,Brake assist,TCS,limited slip diff,xenon headlights
Version T---- leather seats, seven speaker bose
Version S-- 18" rims Brembo's and VDc(instead of TCS ? )but no leather
Version ST--leather +Version S spec
rear spoilers/sat nav and side airbags ordered as extras on all specs + loads of others. Extras not seen on UK cars like auto fold mirrors ,different steering wheels, footwell illumination.
They are all built in the same factory - some of the main differences are UK models have/is:
= larger fuel tank
= different ECU (10 BHp less allegedly )
= rear spoiler
= xenon headlights
= headlamp washers
= bigger radiator
= uprated interior
= uprated suspension (same from Nov 2004 onwards I believe)
= different exhaust
= phone integration
= speed limit of 155mph and not 112mph
= manual (6 speed gearbox)
= Thatcham cat 1 alarm
= different horn
= 18" wheels
= (generally) cheaper insurance but shop around
= more expensive (for same mileage and age)
= enhanced cooling for LSD
= GT pack option (leather seats, heated seats, cruise control, BOSE)
= Brembos as standard
= different (larger) air intake
= oil cooler
JDM car has:
= tiptronic gearbox
= max speeds 112mph (HKS speed defender needed) about £120
= auto roll-up window
= 17" wheels
= ridiculously bright high-beam light in car; £10 to fix
= no fog light (will be fixed as part of SVA)
= Sat Nav which doesn't work and no cheap fix
= radio needing a frequency shifter - cheap to fix
= option of white paint
= square number plate
= wing mirrors fold-in when locking car
= wing mirrors dip down when selecting reverse
= optional xenons (but no headlamp washer)
= optional brembos
= Key Fob unlocks the boot
= Different Badge on the boot.
As he doesn't seem to know what model he has I probably wouldn't go near it, but then a lot of garages selling them don't know the differences either which is why I did my homework. Its also had a new rear bumper but as he's changed both number plates to UK style, I assume this was purely cosmetic.
There are a number of Zeds available on the forum at the moment for all budgets, JDM and UK cars, may be worth a look as you can trace recent history of the car: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=56
Sorry for yet another marathon post lol

30-03-2018, 04:31 AM #23The above comparisons are for base JDM and UK models. There are many extras.

Have a look at the link with Zeds for sale, there are a few on there for different prices, specs and UK/JDM cars, if you find one on there you like search the username of the owner and see if they've put any 'suspect' threads up (i.e. whoops I crashed etc).

30-03-2018, 04:46 AM #26I think you could get a better one for slightly more money, I personally wouldn't consider it but I wanted all the extras and a UK car so held out. Bizarrely I can't see that he actually put whether it was manual or not but I think that year (not sure if all JDM's are) they were tiptronic and not manual.

karlp Thanks vix think I'll give it a miss, youve been an amazing help, I think buying from a zed forum offers a little more insurance and peace of mind also. Thanks again

Slightly off topic but was browsing some of the cars in that thread and I've never seen such a big difference in the way a dash looks between the cars that have satnav and those that don't!
