The jdm targa is slight different to the uk one as a lot of you know, but why?

Surely, it would have saved nissan a lot of money at the time, if they'd made them all the same. It must have cost a fortune to retool the production lines, and I cant see the reasons why they did! rant over. lol

Safety regulations and local target market.

 

Average head height is different for different markets, hence UK spec had a rubber block on the glass inside to protect passengers in the event of a crash from head injury on the metal roof line in front of the targa, this meant the targa shade had to be shorter too.

 

Interestingly have seen key lockable targa`s in Europe which seems unrequired, that could be a local regulation thing too.

are they inter-changable??

Uk and JDM different targas,I didnt know that then again I dont see any other zeds lol

Yes both will fit each other but the blinds are different, so uk blinds wont cover the glass area on jap spec targa's.
