As far as I'm aware all jap and made for and shipped to various countries from Japan .
We do have some in oz that have been imported privately from these other countries but ours have Nissan Australia on the compliance plate .
here's a bit of a read..

I am Getting a 95 model but not sure of where it comes from. Acorrding to Wiki Japan stoped making them in 93. So that leaves Spain and South Africa.
There is nothing in the fourth generation y60 that says it was made in Japan. Not sure where you got that from.Quote:

Awesome thanks mate. that helps and what I was hoping to see. Cheers
And you're probably right about some being built elsewhere , I don't speak Spanish but if you look at the plate you will find an English word and what could be the Spanish word for plant and transaxle I think the word is .
Yes interesting. Hmm maybe where they are assembled.
maybe,,thats what i was getting at..mum bought a (sigma salloon------ah the world hates me)...says built in oz..but reality manufactured in JPQuote:

Even Nissan in Oz are missing bits of info , try ringing your local dealer and ask for engine parts for a 94RX 4.2td auto and they will say computer says no .
ring nissan for parts for the ford maverick and listen to the young ones loose their minds...Quote:
