I don't really care what extra stuff they get, it would be like Ford holding back the Mustang in other countries so the US version is different & unique.
The options have been known for years, Japan owners can add leather, nav, bluetooth, etc. to any model as an option while we get packaged versions. It is easier since they have to build them, ship them and then sell them here so reduces overhead.
I would imagine if the guy got anything special it was a Nismo upgrade they offer that is tough to get here other than sourcing it through certain vendors. I still doubt they make the car any different, remember the Z is an assembly line car that is built in bulk with Nissan working with 3rd parties to supply parts. It would expensive to have them supply one clutch for the US and another for Japan and a horrible business move. Now for the GT-R I could see them doing thing different because the car is more hand built and parts are a bit more custom made per each car.
