Translated it says 'Centre Diff Lock' or 'Center Diff Lock' (for our US friends)

Congrats!

You Canadians can buy and legally drive all those great 92s from Japan now.

Cool 4WS light

check out the picture showing the 4WS --- oh so cool!!!

Anyone managed to get a picture showing steering wheel full lock - then take picture of real wheels (to show if there is any steering shift?)

It would be a cool thing to do. But the 4WS only operates above 40km/h. I can't really think of an easy way to photograph the rear wheels in close up while cornering hard at 40km/h.

Yes. The steering is more responsive and there seems to be less body roll. The car feels more stable.

It's particularly impressive in an emergency when you need to swerve suddenly to avoid hitting something.

Best detailed pictures of a JDM SVX I've seen yet! You guys that own them need to do more photoshoots.

Anyone notice the back seat area is different? There are 3 seatbelts in back and the center console cuts off right at the back of the front seats so three very small statured people could sit in back. It also looks like this 92 has manual seatbelts in front - JDM must have never had the automatic seatbelts. Although it does look like the bracket/guide is a little different than the manual belts on later U.S. models.

I know, I look at too many small details.

There is video of this in action from very close up in one of the JDM promo videos. I forget which one, I'll see if I can find it.
