Apart from the USA what other countries got the injected 280z ?

As far as I know the UK spec 260z was carbed only until its end?

Did any other countries get an injected 260z and not the 280z ?
 
The 280 injection system will fill straight on to a late 260 head, you just need the longer bolts that fixed it onto the 280.
 
I am speculating here but I would doubt that Nissan would have wanted to use the more expensive to produce 280Z in other markets as its creation was only due to the failure of the carb'd engine to safely meet Califonia's new emision limits and nowhere else in the world to my knowledge had those same emision constraints at that time.

As an aside the injection manifold and ignition system on the 280Z is pretty different to the injected L28 that we had here on the 280ZX's. I have the whole setup going spare if anybody wants it:D

does the fuel injection onto a late 260 make much diffrence powerwise?

That is hard to tell as it was only fitted because of problems at MOT time & 240 carbs were in short supply.
But as I was fitting injection I ported the head & had 20thou taken off then fitted a Janspeed manifold & exhaust & K&N filter & it was Quick!
