suspensions will be less satysfying than Uk models

so someone would have owned it in the UK before you then or woudl it be freshly imported?

Freshly imported.

Is the difference in suspension noticeable?

Sorry 2003.

Thank you all for the posts in ‘JDM versus UK - power differences’ in response to mine about what are the differences between UK and JDM cars.

I am now considering a used Roadster (Fairlady) JDM import and will probably be viewing it next week. Is there any thing I should look out for which might need attention or I should avoid?

What would you consider is a fair price for a JDM Roadster with GT pack equivalent, metallic paint, in good condition with about 17,000 miles on the clock?

Thanks again in advance.

Hello all,

First post to the site. I am considering a 350Z purchase and thought I would tap into the knowledge on this site first to guide me. I am considering a Japanese important to save on the pounds and wanted to check the differences between a UK car and a Japanese import. I have listed what I have found but would be grateful if members could add to the list of correct me if I am wrong.

• 1> I am considering the roadster and believe this is in fact called the ‘Fairlady’ in Japan.
  2> Fog light would have to be fitted.
  3> Possibility of poorer corrosion protection when compared with UK cars (anybody got quotes from garages to apply protection to the car?).
  4> 10 bhp extra with Japanese cars over UK cars.
  5> Stiffer suspension on UK cars over Japanese cars.
  6> Japanese cars have ‘S’ and ‘T’ packs which when combined are the same as the UK ‘GT’ pack.
  7> More expensive insurance on Japanese cars over UK cars.
  

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: Think you can guess the colour I want from the ID.
