Differences that I can think of now are:

Body kit
Wheels
Bracing (front and rear body dampers, reinforced strut bar)
Nismo shocks and springs
Thicker sways (not sure on this one)
Dual exhaust with H-Pipe config
ECU tune
Interior

I believe there are also performance dampers front and rear.
Or, is that what you mean when you refer to the body dampers?
At least that is what it states in the manual for the NISMO model. If so, I'm wondering if those would be of benefit to us that have the sport models. I would think so. It looks like they are just there to dampen side play for the front and rear suspension. Or, are they body dampers? Not sure about that one. Looks like ones I've use on suspensions before. Wish they showed the connection points. Oh snap, I'll have to find a NISMO and crawl under it now. I might want those parts.
Interesting find I think. Page 5-30 of manual:

Look at my post above yours.....

"Mass dampers are then fitted between the unibody's left and right frame members to control the extra vibration inherent in a seam-welded chassis."

From what ive read about the nismo before I bought mine, was that its 140% stiffer than the standard 370... I'll try to find the article i read it and post back. I thought there were more things besides just the dampers...

Probably the extra welding, the added support in the corner up front and some added braces on the tower brace ... but, all those things are not a easy add. Perhaps us guys with the Sports Model can get a little added stiffness to the chassis buy just adding the dampers. At least, I'm hopefully that it might be a good mod.

OK, were talking the same thing. I'm wondering if it's an easy add?
