S14 Zenki = S14

In Japan, there was a factory aero option for the Kouki that was IIRC front bumper, optional lip, rear bumper, optional spats, side skirts and spoiler. They're expensive to get hold of over here, unrealistic sometimes for the rarer parts like the spats.
Imported S14a/Kouki's had digital climate control, power folding mirrors and HICAS passive rear steering, all of which people generally end up removing.
As far as I know, all S's were manufactured in Japan with specifications for each market. So in theory, all cars are imports. These days it isn't whether it's an import or not that defines if a car commands a premium. It's whether or not it has scene goodies and whether or not it's rusted through.
Hope that helps.
