SharpLS-96

I'm questioning whether this is the same vehicle from the exterior shots to the interior one. I see the same sales sheet on the dash both in the exterior shot and the interior one....BUT....... the front wheels are turned and the steering wheel is completely straight.???
I know if I happen to move my wheels slightly my steering wheel would be off.

I know the Asian models always have the options years in advance but still seems a bit confusing comparing that 95 Asian spec model interior to my 96 American spec one.
Some of you guys will understand what I'm referring to.

EDIT:
Never mind, I answered my own question. That interior pic doesn't go with that car because if you click on any other 95 Asian model in the link below the interior is the same as ours here.

Question is now....what year does that interior go with? If you compare it to the 97, 98, or the 2000 in the link it doesn't match up with any of them. The steering wheel seems to be from a 94-96 and the Nav unit a 97+ according to Asian specs? Some things very fishy there.

Side note: Seems like cloth interior is very popular there unlike here.

I was pouring over a variety of VIP Car issues and had presumed that the UCF20 was the block headlight version only. Well, I was quite surprised to see a designated UCF20 with the teardrop headlights and non-VVTi engine. I don't know how to distinguish the 20/21 models.

Just like the pics posted for these cars you linked to.

Puzzling isn't it Rob.

Now, do you see what I mean about having different steering wheels?
The Nav unit is from a 98+ but not the wheel.

Compare these two pic's.

Now this is a 98

I feel just as confused looking at the Nissan President variants too. Different grill and rear taillights but same body, this must be a JDM thing.

My take is that the exterior tear drop headlights of the '98 (as we know them) was started in late '97 for the JDM. I still see block headlight models designated as a UCF 21 and I recollect a pic with the VVTi engine. Add in sporadic pics with nav and wood steering wheels with controls.

I dunno but darn you for also noticing this.

Also, look at the clock/temp unit. It's from a 98-00.

BUT if you look at the air recirculation button, its from the older 95-97 before they had the smog sensor to automatically switch. Its not really from a 98+ (or our 98's for that matter anyhow).

What are all these buttons by the power mirror controls? 180Mph speedo? (why?) and how come they dont have headlight washers (man, thats one more reason to love the canadian LS's)

Vik

Mirror heater and power mirror fold...

Even we don't get those here. But we do get rear aircon and headlight washers

caliness

Maybe it's just the Japanese version of the 97?
Or maybe the owner modded it? Who knows?
Try contacting them.

Man, you guys ARE lucky.

And we thought it was so cool when we got the UL package

Edit: Was that standard on ALL LS's? AND THANKS FOR THE PICS

Hello,

since I got the powered rear seats for a 1st Gen LS I would love to get something about the wiring. Is anyone of you able to get them?
