Sorry chaps! I really appreciate advice from any and all so please comment!!
I just thought the why we got these more than others might have been one of those Japan secrets that Mr A would know.
Not sure Mr Datsfun, but isn't it a Skyline? It was from a zregister post on my Facebook feed.

UK minimum height regulations for indicators...
Better (?) to have started a thread about domestic and export local regulations and how these have affected the finished product....the UK (and euro) market was so tiny and insignificant in the big scheme of things.

Didn't see them on any other export-market cars or JDM.
Afterthought is one word - no ?
Like bonnet badges then.....
Ali, do you know where this picture was taken, dealer?

The C130 "Butaketsu" Laurel coupe is the one on the right. Dark green at the back is a C230 Cedric.
Lots of cool in that picture - Butaketsu, Kenmeri, Yonmeri,..
Pity those cars are pretty much non-existent in this country. There was a C130 on eBay a while back though. Otherwise, you have to "go to the source" for that sort of thing.

Disagree. Compare the front grill with the c130 coupe that is parked next to it..
I reckon its a 230 series cedric
BTW, is this picture from a UK dealer's forecourt ? Very unlikely as c110 coupe's were not officially imported yet the s30 is UK spec with those front indicators
A google search for Fairlady S30 image would have answered this question...
"Did Japan get them too ?"
Even Wikipedia would reveal the answer

Who said that the 240Z (and others behind) being LHD were 'UK spec' ?BTW, is this picture from a UK dealer's forecourt ? Very unlikely as c110 coupe's were not officially imported yet the s30 is UK spec with those front indicators

It's not a UK dealer. All the cars in the photo are LHD.
Other 'European' markets than UK got the indicator relocation too. As has been pointed out, Nissan got caught out by new European lighting regulations and had to do a quick re-jig for some markets.
Here's a scan of one of the UK market brochures for the 240Z. Lazy Datsun UK Concessionaires used a set of Dutch market photos...

Well, a considerable number of us are running around in cars with the under bumper indicators (being original equipment on US and JDM cars, and far nicer than the UK/Euro jobbies), so if it isn't permitted, we're all in trouble! I doubt anyone has ever been pulled up on this, thus I wouldn't worry about it.

I think that unless your driving like an idiot then you could get away with a lot of things on a 240z. I have only ever been pulled over by the police once in a 240z. It was back in the late 80's and I was driving the car home from being painted. The car had no lights, indicators, glass or number plates and the doors were held shut with a bungie between them. They pulled me over just to look at the car and let me go on my way.
