Were Australian Starions fully manafactured in Oz or were they just assembled there?
The Jap starions obviously don't conform to the JA, JB, JD scheme above. I have a GSRIII which seems to be a mish mash of JA/JB bits. ie velour interior, no lock on fuel filler door, JB wheels, JA front bumper, Type 1 throttle body, LSD bla bla bla. Most of it is standard. Those crazy japs.

I think all starions were made in Jap-land

-3.9:1 LSD (all factory LSD)....not true

For the JD, the LSD was still an option, but had the larger open diff. My ex JD numbered 45 did not come with the D 60 option!
You will find the two tone limited edition ones came with the LSD as standard in the package...

:beer

[bigd]

^Was the same true for JA's JB's etc... That the two-tone ones were limited edition and came with LSD bla bla bla?

[JD_Stazza_Brendan]

ill have to check my user manual (the little booklet u get when u buy a new car) on the JD as im sure in the Specs section it only lists the LSD as the only diff.
