The JDM one is way better than the US version.

synth19

^ agreed, much cleaner without those stupid reflectors...

i like the reflector

Maybe they can make the US front deflector white -- JDM-style?

(PS I realize the JDM version does not have a defector ...)

danny25

JDM doesn't have the ugly rear bumper either

...yeah, with regard to the 'reflector thing', I think this is just another instance of the "grass being greener" on the other side. If the USDM model did not have it and the JDM model did then the complaints would go the other way.

IMHO, there are some instances where USDM style > JDM style. The Honda/Acura DC3 front clip is a good example of this.

srika

good call. makes you wonder how they make these decisions.

synth19

Negative. The JDM version DOES have the same rear. It's the one pure JDM part of the car IMO anyways.

danny25

well it's not on the ones in the above pics, at least not the red one

edit: then again, I'm basing that on the last pic of the red car. But it doesn't have the NISMO front end or hood, so it might not actually be one.

synth19

^ How the fck can you tell since I didn't even post any pics of the rears? ha... and the last one isn't the Nismo Z, just has the nismo V2 bumper as I stated.

Jap's 350z comes with this engine. Too bad, Nissan USA doesn't offer this in the US.

Although i don't mind the front reflector on the US version, it does look better without it on the JDM.

Besides, it's not like people pay attention to turn signals or look at the reflectors anyway. It's gotten so bad that half the time I expect people to not use their signals anyways.

I doubt that we will see the Type 380RS come stateside.

srika

uhh.. arent these pretty much the same angle? pretty easy to see the difference..

EDIT: OIC - the last one threw me off :P - I had no idea what you were talking about when you said the bit about the V2 bumper missing... .. this is an Acura board... we dont know JDM Nissan model codes... nor do we want to.. kthx

srika

wow, since when does Nissan have an engine other than the VQ35???

F23A4

The new G37 has a VQ37HR AND the Pathfinder has a VQ40DE. (All of which evolved from the original VQ30DE: 95-99 Maxima.)
