I know some parts are different on a JDM model 300zx to a UK version, but what parts are best? I read that UK anti roll bars are thicker and a good upgrade from JDM ones, the calipers also look different? What other parts are good to mix and match?

UK rear anti-roll bar is thicker.

 

UK Cruise control ECU (ECCS) in passenger footwell - UK version allows cruise to work at higherspeeds

 

UK Clocks - in MPH with pressure gauges in PSi. Better looking too.

 

UK Engine oil cooler - much larger

 

Caliper differences - One probably has Iron, the other Alloy. The Iron caliper is Heavier but less prone to warping discs. The Alloy caliper is lighter, but more prone to warping.

 

hmm....struggling to think of anything else...

thanks for that, didnt know most of them! Not to mention rear import bumper looks far nicer than the UK one with large plate recess. (in my opinion) :D

Targa tops differ

Front bumpers also .

 

The window tints are also differant :)

What I'm doing is breaking a jap version but doing up a UK model. So want the best bits from both :D

There are lots of differences, we could list all day, but were talking bits worth swapping over.

diff oil cooler and pump controlled from ecu to bring it on at high speed and temp.

 

2 stage rear shocks controlled from ECU. Handbrake light on trick to prove they work

 

30% bigger surface area on UK / Euro radiator.

Radiators are the same. I think you mean the Oil cooler I mentioned above.

if you`re into cloth the uk is a nicer material

re

Read it on the Stillen website a while back.

 

Claim was the radiator looks the same but the UK Euro one has a more dense core with more cooling surface area for continuous high speed autobahn use - or so the waffle said. I havent checked myself!

 

Same claim is the reason the diff oil cooler is fitted. JDM cars were limited to 112mph so would never need the extra cooling.

 

Guess you could try going at 155mph for an hour on the continent and see if the diff does overheat and start whining without it. Who really cares? Maybe for regularly tracked cars it might be helpful.
