Wiring looms are different - Both engine and dash
Gauges on dash are different
Diff is different
Steering Rack Ratio (JZA70R)
Shocks are different (JZA70R)
Interior is different (JZA70R)
Front Sway bar (bigger in JZ)
JZA70 shell has single skin at the rear gaurd, MA/GA70 has multiple skins (heavier)

Basically the JZA70 is a better car in almost every way.

Front lip on JZA70-R has 2 air ducts with ducting to the brakes.
MA70 has same lip wihout any holes or ducting.

looms are very different, plugs and all sorts.

yeah I mean the guards and if it is not a JZA70 it will have multiple skins and will be heavier. It's the one thing that can always tell a conversion apart from a factory car.

JZA70 has a battery gauge and a boost gauge and slightly different needles.

from memory the JZA70's had two layers of sound matting in the rear, MA70s and JZA70R's had a single layer

PS if you have a JZA70, dont ever $&#$% sell it. Mr Ozio will agree. Somedays I just want to slit my wrists.
