Difference between aus and Japanese S2000

[BigWillieStyles]

Hey guys,

im just wondering if there was any differences between the AP1 aus and JDM spec cars apart from the navigation system that some come with in Japan.

Thanks:)

Jdm s2000 has material in the middle of the seats, Aust. has full leather.

Higher compression -> 11.7 instead of 11.1

JDM s2000 does not have headlight washers on the bumper

Depends on the year and type.

The VGS has different steering / steering wheel too.

The JDM F20C1 makes 206kW to our 176Kw I'm told.

Going to bring one back with you are you Willie? What about the FD?!

[eriktufa]

JDM F20C makes 184 kw instead of 176 kw

206kw woahhh thats some serious power lol.
they have ap2's in the f20 and f22, thats so freaken awsome.

[AdN]

do they get more power from higher compression? whats involved in upping compression?

and aust spec ones dont have OBD II diagnostics ports.

Their ap1 comes with them 6spoke bbs wheels as well.
Maybe it's because they run higher ron fuel? no idea.

The BBS 6 spokers were optional back in the day of purchase.

I thought only the US got the F22?

[JMSBND]

^^^ yeah f22, thought it was USDM too to try and cure the "lack of torque" haha? 8000RPM redline errrr PASS.

[eriktufa]

JDM got F22C back in 2006, I believe the Type S is equipped with 2.2 litres as well.

[vyets]

F22 was designed for the fat yanks LOL :P no hard feelings LOL.
Yea type S a more tame version of the CR has the f22 as well.

[ludecrs]

How long are you over there for?

[BigWillieStyles]

not sure, but am thinking maybe end of next year:wave:

[ROLLED]

aren't early model s2ks about $10k aud or less in Japan?

[WhiteAP1]

Thats right, JDM also have the 2.2 and the AU comp ratio is 11.5 the JDM 11.7 comes from a different head gasket. The rest is pretty much minor cosmetics IRC

[aaronng]

Doesn't the JDM version get Showa dampers? I remember seeing a pic of a seperate damper oil resevoir.

[vyets]

We get them too

The navigation console was an option as I was told.
