Suprash Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The bonnet scoop on UKSpec is functional. So if you look under the bonnet there is a matching air passage sticking out from the engine. None of the 'addon' scoops I've seen go all the way - in fact some don't even cut through the bonnet! I would have had all the gubbins but I have a strut brace so not much point.....

carl0s Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Best bet would be to check for heated seat buttons as everything else on here that people have mentioned could have been swapped, rear lights, front lights, UK bonnet scoopes....even added coolers......but dash board heated seat buttons, people just wouldnt.... Don't the GZs have heated seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Don't the GZs have heated seats? Im not sure about a GZ from Japan, Japs dont tend to worry about things like that.....but possibly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Im not sure about a GZ from Japan, Japs dont tend to worry about things like that.....but possibly.... I'm almost certain they do. Heated seats, leather seats, cruise control. All the UK spec toys basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLC Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Easiest distant visual way is check the rear light cluster. If the 2 red lenses are next to each other, it's J-spec. Very few owners bother with a UK rear light conversion.

JohnA Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I would have had all the gubbins but I have a strut brace so not much point..... The whole bonnet scoop function is a bit of a moot point outside autobahns. You'd need to sustain full boost for quite some time before it comes into play. This is jailtime nowadays (if at all possible with all this traffic) So it's nowhere near as important as the bigger brakes for example. As for the dildii --- they are for the laydeez:eyebrows:, design-wise daft and prone to damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 first off my Jap spec doesnt have budget plastic seats in the rear they are full leather and as long as it has that beautifull JZA80 engine with two turbos bolted to it i hardly think Rear lights, Bonnet scoops, Light washers, and size or shape or reg plates makesa difference. oh and jap spec supras are obviously better because thats where there from lol Did you put leather seats in the rear or are you just rubbish at telling the difference between "leather look" vinyl and real leather.

Branners Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 usually tell if its a uk speck, if it has the difference tail lights Top one is uk spec http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/4a21d22753.jpg mines a UK spec... I think nowadays its the really small things that show its a UK spec car, as Michael says the headlamp washer button is a giveaway as is the traction control button. Heated seats can be retro fitted, mine has the bonnet vent but no ducting to go with it as Im single turbo. So no easy way really.
