I believe only the US Nismos had the serial number plaque. I think the RHD Nismos just had a blank there.

Are the steering wheel, shift **** and e-brake handle half red half black? I've never seen them on anything but the JDM Nismo.

That was only the 380RS. This is the "normal" JDM Nismo interior:

Under the hood you would see another bar closer to the front of the car similar to a strut tower bar but black. Thats about it under the hood.

And the extra 80hp from the wing and body kit. Regular Z's don't have that.

You do not have a NISMO/380.


You may have a...

NISMO S-Tune GT (2005)
Modified Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO patrol car (Japan)The S-Tune GT was released by NISMO to celebrate its success in motorsport, particularly in the Super GT series. The S-Tune GT featured revised long nose bodywork as in the Type-E, a modified version of the VQ35DE engine called the S1 with more power (300 PS / 221 kW / 296 hp) and higher redline (7200 rpm), as well as a sportier NISMO suspension.

20 were produced each month in Japan. Although Nissan did not officially sell S-Tune in UK, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. imported 1 S-Tune GT to UK[13]
