Jap import vs Australian specs

gabs · Post by **gabs** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 5:43 pm

MY knowledge is that an fto imported from japan (Jap specs) is better than an fto with australian specs. Although i have been told that with certain cars such as rx7 australian specs are preferred over jap imports. Any thoughts?

There is no 'Australian spec' FTO as far as im aware, it was never dealer delivered in Australia, you had to pretty much import one yourself back in the day which was pretty tricky.
The only thing i can think of what Aus spec could be is when it is imported it has to be stock standard, however again this wouldnt change anything to an 'Aus spec'
Perhaps clarify a little more if i am missing the point here, otherwise the answer is nothing, as there is no 'Aus spec'
Hope that helps

Yep, All FTO's are Grey Imports in Australia.

To throw a spanner in here, the Aus FTO weighs more.
10points to whoever figures this one out.

Hmm, any chance fitting a wine barrel if we were to remove the rear seat?
