Do any of you guys know if the SW18000HG (JDM) drag system is different than the export models. I am downloading the schematic, but it is in Japanese.

No difference.
The boxes may not be indicated in the same manner, depends on country of sale and the discretion of the sales office.

Thanks again, I have sent emails to Shimano Aust. and Singapore from their contact pages. Hope to hear from one of them soon. The Japanese schematic has prices for the parts on them. Wonder how accurate they are. I got a quote for one drag washer from the top of the spool (small one) on an 18k and it was $31.10 NZD. That seems a bit high :o

Besides from being a rather important part in a reel Kurt! They are a small item yes, but there needs to be minimum costs attached to certain items so that businesses can turn a profit. Also, if you are dealing with retailer, they also need to make money and for the effort of organsing the part and stocking the part - they also need to make money. Therefore, some items become inflated for those very reasons.
