I am after an import either a spec S or ST this is because I’ve read that the base model and T do not come with the new lsd and sports dynamic control and that they also have different suspension and 17†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty Z Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks for your help guys had a good look through the jdm section and theres nothing about the suspension being different on the base or t nothing about the sport dynamic control either anyone know anything about it ?

lomoto Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks for your help guys had a good look through the jdm section and theres nothing about the suspension being different on the base or t nothing about the sport dynamic control either anyone know anything about it ? No discernible difference between any of the models, some people reckon JDM has slightly stiffer suspension than a Uk , but I would doubt it.. Base models have TractionControl, ST models have VDM,you can switch both off (I know I do as soon as I start up! ) To be honest theres only minute differences between a JDm and Uk .. JDM's far cheaper though and generally speaking in the used market they are in better condition / lower mileage than the equivilant year UK car.. I've been more than happy with my JDM and with not having to bother keeping up with a warranty from Nissan has allowed me to modify as much as I want and not be tied into main dealer servicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The suspension is the same as UK models from the last quarter of 2004 onwards. Think the actual month is November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennydies Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 what is the "noisy window" fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 what is the "noisy window" fault? Sometimes it doesn't seal properly, becomes apparent at high speeds!!! Easily reset by the dealer, although if you have the balls I think there may be a guide on here somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
