    Hi all, my first post, i Have a 1984 300zx, and am looking at updating my collection, with a z32...

    But i have a couple of questions, what is the difference between the Aus spec z32 and the j spec z32. Why would i want a jspec or why wouldnt i?

    And is the z32 below a jspec or aus spec or what spec?

    Sorry if this is a really dumb and obvious sort of question, but havent been able to figure out the major differences!

    not all aus specs are n/a 2+2's.there have been conversions ;)

    if you want a TT or 2 seater NA it will have come from Japan (be a J-Spec vehicle). So, if you want a TT then it must be J-spec, but if you are looking at an NA and don't have any major preference for 2 seater or 2+2, the following differences may be of interest to you:


    All J-spec Z's had power seats, Aus-Spec Z's did not.


    - J-Spec Z's up to 1995 had climate control, after that it was an option. 1989-1993 Aus-spec Z's had manual control, but got climate control late 1993.


    - Aus-spec Z's have a combination indicator/marker light at the front, while J-Spec Z's have driving lights (often called fog lights) and the indicators on the side. This is sometimes changed to Aus specification when the J-Spec Z is complianced in Australia.


    - Aus-Spec Z's have foglights on the rear bumper, while J-Spec Z's have the small red side markers on the side of the rear bumper.


    - Minor changes such as badging: J-Spec's get the Z badge on the nose, Aus-spec's get no badge or the Nissan 'hamburger' logo, J-Specs have Fairlady decals on the back, etc.


    - Aus-Spec T-tops are lockable


    - Aus-Spec rear bar has wider gap to fit Aussie number plate


    - Minor interior differences such as Fairlady floor mats in J-Spec Z's, as well as some of the J-Spec optional features (which are rare) such as illuminated rear panel, naVan gearknob options, etc.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the replies, so to sum up there are a few different things like the electric seats, but nothing too big?

    Does it affect the resale much?
    What rough price do the 1990 TT's like this normally go for... just looking for a ballpark price...

    Cheers
    Dave

    Another consideration is insurance, especially for under 25s

    J-Spec TT = Expensive
    J-Sepc NA = not quite as expensive, but expensive.
    Aus-Spec, cheapest.

    j-spec V a-spec ....

    .. one likely difference ... you can be 90% certain that the j-spec speedo has been wound back ... BIGTIME ......

    .. less likely with an a-spec .....
