Question FAIRLADY Z different than 350z?

Was looking at the Japan Z site and noticed in one of the videos that the see has Euro style side blinkers underneath the Z emblem, havent really noticed them in the pics of the US 350z.


Check it out...

Is it just me or does the hood make it look a lot like a Celica?

Just about all cars sold outside of the US require the directional signals that are mounted on the side fenders just before the door. While it looks odd, it does make sense. I see Japan is no different. The original "Z" cars sold in japan were called "Fairlady Z's" I had a chance to buy one in 1969 while on R&R in Japan. It was right hand drive but had triple Solex carbs... I've only seen one other in the states.. Sure wish I brought it home.. Oh well..

I think it's cool to have the side markers. They should be easy enough to add.

The Euro Spec and JDM Spec automobiles have some awesome styling cues/different signal parts (like clear instead of amber).

I wish they could be the same here in the US.

BTW, I like that Fairlady Z name. Sounds sporty with prestige.
