Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

A Y31 built after mid-1991 is a sedan. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Code shared by Cedric and Gloria. Carsensor catalog 1991-06 to 1995-05; ja.wikipedia: production ended May 1995, sales ended June 1995. The Cima (FY32) and Leopard J.Ferie are related but use different codes. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 2001-01 to 2010-07; ja.wikipedia: on sale 12 January 2001, production ended August 2010 together with the President. Sold in the US as the Infiniti Q45 (2002-2006). Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 1988-01 to 1991-07; ja.wikipedia: on sale January 1988, replaced August 1991. Sold as 'Cedric Cima' / 'Gloria Cima'. No US-market version.

Carsensor catalog 1991-08 to 1996-05; ja.wikipedia: on sale August 1991. No direct US-market version (the Infiniti J30 was a different car). Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 1996-06 to 2000-12; ja.wikipedia: on sale June 1996, replaced by F50 on 12 January 2001. Sold in the US as the Infiniti Q45 (1997-2001).

ja.wikipedia: 2by2 (GS30) announced and sold 17 January 1974; the type became C-GS31 at the 1976 emissions change (Nissan heritage says January 1976, ja.wikipedia 30 July 1976). The JDMBUYSELL file's 1971-1978 range is not supported by these sources for the Japanese market; export 2+2 (GLS30) began earlier.

The JDMBUYSELL file gives 1969-1973; ja.wikipedia says the domestic 240Z range was announced 20 October 1971 and sold from November 1971, and the 240Z series was discontinued at the April 1973 change. HS30 also covers export right-hand-drive 240Z built from 1969, so a plate dated before November 1971 may be an export car. No catalog confirmation found.

Nissan's FAQ and carsensor both give August 2022 as the start; still in production. Sold in the US as the Nissan Z.

Nissan heritage: full model change to S130 in August 1978 (announced 17 August 1978). Replaced by Z31 in September 1983; S130 end month not separately published. Turbo Z (L20ET) from 19 October 1982. Sold in the US as the Datsun 280ZX.

Announced 18 October 1969 (Nissan heritage) and on sale November 1969 (ja.wikipedia). Nissan's heritage page says the code changed to S31 when the L20E emissions engine arrived in January 1976; ja.wikipedia dates the S30-to-S31 type change to 30 July 1976, so the end month is left blank. The S30/S31 family was replaced by S130 in August 1978. US-market cars were the Datsun 240Z/260Z/280Z.

Carsensor catalog 1983-09 to 1989-06; ja.wikipedia: on sale September 1983, production ended June 1989, sales ended July 1989. Sold in the US as the 300ZX.

Carsensor catalog 1989-07 to 2000-08; ja.wikipedia: production ended August 2000 (emissions rules), sales ended September 2000. Convertible added August 1992. Sold in the US as the 300ZX until 1996; Japanese production continued to 2000, so late Z32s have no US-market twin.

Nissan's FAQ gives 2002/07 to 2008/11 for Z33; carsensor's catalog matches (2002-07 to 2008-11). Coupe on sale 30 July 2002. VQ35HR from January 2007. Sold in the US as the 350Z.

Nissan's FAQ gives 2008/12 to 2022/08 (a sales period: RZ34 went on sale August 2022); carsensor's catalog ends July 2022. On sale 1 December 2008. Roadster (HZ34) added October 2009. Sold in the US as the 370Z.

Nissan's FAQ gives the roadster (HZ33) as 2003/10 to 2008/11. Sold in the US as the 350Z Roadster.

Carsensor catalog 1991-02 to 1992-12 and ja.wikipedia agree on a February 1991 start. ja.wikipedia says production ended February 1992 and remaining stock sold until December 1992; the carsensor end month reflects the sales period. Limited to 20,000 cars, sold by lottery.

ja.wikipedia: C32 sold October 1984 to July 1993; the hardtop was replaced by C33 in December 1988 while the sedan stayed on. Not in the carsensor catalog. Codes are from ja.wikipedia's infobox. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 1988-12 to 1992-12; ja.wikipedia: on sale December 1988, replaced January 1993. Codes beyond HC33/HCC33 are from ja.wikipedia's infobox. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 1997-06 to 2002-12; ja.wikipedia's Laurel article says production ended December 2002 and sales ended January 2003, but its Silvia article lists the C35 among models whose production ended in August 2002. Catalog/Laurel-article date used. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Listed in the JDMBUYSELL Patrol file (2010-present). The Y62 was never sold new in Japan (the Safari name ended with the Y61 in 2007), so there is no Japanese-market production window; the start year is the global launch (announced February 2010; built in Japan at Nissan Shatai Kyushu for export). A Y62 in Japan would be a re-import, not a JDM car. Sold in the US as the Infiniti QX56/QX80 and, from 2017, the Nissan Armada.

On sale 24 October 1990 (ja.wikipedia; carsensor catalog starts October 1990). ja.wikipedia says all G50 models ended production in August 2002 and stock sold until September 2003; carsensor's catalog runs to September 2003. Sold in the US as the Infiniti Q45 (G50, standard wheelbase).

Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

Carsensor catalog 1997-10 to 2007-06; ja.wikipedia gives a Japanese sale period to July 2007. Y61 Patrol production continued for export markets after Japanese sales ended. Aliases include sibling engine/body codes of the same generation (as listed by carsensor or ja.wikipedia), so a plate code ending in this generation code maps here.

PS13 began at the 17 January 1991 minor change. Carsensor lists the late block to September 1993; ja.wikipedia says production ended September 1993 (flagged as conflicting with Nissan's parts list) and sales ended October 1993 when S14 arrived.
