350z: japan oem vs USA oem
Loads of differences and added options, differences further with the European ones aswell.
JDM 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 other Extras not seen on UK cars like auto fold mirrors ,different steering wheels, footwell illumination etc etc...
UK models have:
= larger fuel tank
= different ECU
= rear spoiler
= xenon headlights (standard)
= headlamp washers (Standard)
= 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
= enhanced cooling for LSD
= GT pack option (leather seats, heated seats, cruise control, BOSE)
= Brembos as standard
= different (larger) air intake
JDM car has:
= tiptronic/manual gearbox
= max speeds 112mph (HKS speed defender needed)
= 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)
= 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.

hmm.. well i'm from south africa
we have right hand drive models here, things i've noticed are different are we also have front light washers in the bumper, my front numberplate also has a huge plastic backing plate that seems oem. obviosuly our speedo shows up to 280km/h. on the back one side is reverse light, other side is fog light. ours don't say fairlady tho, we have the wide number plate bumper too. we have side indicators underneath the z emblem

it seems to be one of the few sport cars to come from JPN YO that doesnt have much body variation from its USDM counterpart.
Awesome 3 year bump 
Are you sure you're not talking about the 380rs pedal?
