Huh.
I hadn't noticed the USDM NISMO driver and passenger seats were different.

Yup no power folding mirrors in AU. We also don't get the base model, our base is the Perfomance Model in US I believe. Could be wrong.
I have power folding mirrors on mine?
But yes we only get the performance as standard, and we do have have the clear side reflectors.

I wonder what else is different I wonder if we have different suspension tuning. For other cars we do.

I'm not feeling the same soft suspension I hear on the US reviews. I have not tracked the car yet but done some mountian passes.

We could have a JDM spec, it would make sense as we drive on the same side of the road as them.

They might have soften the card up for the umm larger Americans 🤣

I had a boot rattle for about the first 3-4 months. It went away on it's own :LOL::unsure:

Aussie spec suspension is no doubt the same. the back is pretty "fun" to deal with. I'm not complaining, but it's definitely softer than it could be. I've had mine on a track recently and seeing a picture of the rear arch/wheel gap.... she's ready to tip over :LOL:

here's a question for this thread.

Auto opening windows from the key fob, is it a thing in any market.... cause my proto doesn't do it here in AUS.
