I've bough an import that appears to have full uk gt spec, wondering whats going on?

[champy]

Hey guys, just bought a zed, its an import but it appears to have full uk GT spec and none of the original Jap stuff.

 

For example, it has cruise control, headlight washers side airbags, spoiler, 7 speaker bose system but with no aux input on the radio which i think was standard on the JDM one.

 

It does not have mirrors that fold in when turned off, or mirrors that tilt down when in reverse.

 

It definitely is an import as it has an import record and Jap manual, but I'm just wondering how this has come about. Do you think someone bought it and then retrofitted it?

It's also got a factory fitted alarm, with the flashing led light on the dash (drivers side). Is this standard on JDM's?

You got mirrora that tilt when in reverse... jealous

Perks of the jdm

I thought he said he didn't have the auto tilt feature..... Is it possibly a "euro" RHD import as opposed to JDM? I've heard of that on other marques

Ha yeah I did say it doesn't have the tilt down mirrors. Are these standard on JDM's?

 

I don't think its a euro import as it actually has warnings in Japanese on the sun visors.

It's probably a seriously high specced jdm, they had a lot more optional extras out there, mine for instance has brembos, Bose and a factory alarm, or it could be a mix of both high specced and retro fitted when imported with a few bits

Gives us some pictures to have a look!!

[greg tl]

JDMS come with all extras if you order them from the factory... whats the number plate recess like, oblong or square?

 

May have been an early imported JDM by Nissan?

[JetSet]

A JDM will have a VIN number that starts Z33 , UK and Euro Zed's have a VIN number that starts JN1

When I checked my zed on nissans computer it is a base model, but came with pretty much every option so is nearly gt spec

check for different colour paints on the innside of panels, doors etc, check panel gaps, look underneather are there areas that look out of place, like more clean that other areas, usually a sign of replaced parts. are bits missing or bent in hidden places like under the undertray.

Dont panic im sure its not crash repaired!! haha not even 10 posts and you got the poor guy sweating bullets!!!

[bamdc2]
