Import DIfference

[spewboyz]

OK, sorry if this is a bit of a repetitive question - I've searched the board in my inimitable way (which means I've probably missed it&#33<img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Is there any way of telling the difference between a UK model, and a Jap import? &nbsp;Specifically, are there external differences (I guess internally the speedo is KPH, etc.)

I've managed to reinsure my MkIII Cortina (yes, you read that right&#33<img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> under a classic policy, so I've full no claims to spend on a Z32. &nbsp;I've looked at other Japanese sports cars, and this really grabs my fancy (stems back to the Sunny ZX I had as a younger man!? - seeing them in the Nissan showroom - it will be mine one day, oh yes it will be mine).

There's a guy called AndyP on the other forum who has put together a virtual library. The bit about model differences can be found here:

He's also got a list of insurance companies on his site somewhere.

Japanese Z32s have a Z badge up front, UKs have a Nissan badge. &nbsp;Japs have no headlight washers. &nbsp;UKs have combination side light/indicators Japs have combination side light/fr fog lights with seperate indicators at the front corners. &nbsp;UKs have blank covers where Jap indicators are. &nbsp;Later Japs like mine have spot lights at the front corners that light up the corners when turning left or right. &nbsp;Japs have same size standard wheels fr and rr, UKs have larger rr ones. &nbsp;Japs have no rr fog lights in the bumper. &nbsp;I converted my 2 inner brake lights to fogs (neat solution). &nbsp;Jap has smaller squarer no. plate recess in rr bumper. &nbsp;Jap has no E mark on the lights and glass.
