2012 Nismo Numbering

Does anyone know why my 12 Nismo is numbered as a 13 on the plaque behind the seats?

Good question... I was wondering why Nissan labeled them as 13 model... The 13's are coming out this summer I believe, with gun metal colored wheels, SS brake lines and I believe a couple other non significant little changes.

I'm a little dumbfounded why they did that, I know mine doesn't have any of the new 13 goodies coming out. I was wondering what the real 13's will say, I mean mine is 13 0505, is there a 12 0505 out there? Where did the ones labeled 12 stop at? My salesman didn't even know they were numbered.

The 13 is a mistake. I've been in contact with NISSAN USA and they even requested that I send them a pic of the serialized NISMO plate. I just received a call from NISSAN USA indicating that it is in fact an error and that the correct plate will be sent from NISSAN Japan. All owners with a 2012 NISMO with a 13 serialized NISMO plate should contact Nissan.

EPIC FAIL on Nissan's part. No 13 for me either. Does anybody exactly know how many Nismo's are made each year? I know it was asked before, but nobody has mentioned anything.

Hahaha wow! That's unbelievable for them to make a mistake like that.

I wouldn't change it. That's going to be worth some serious money one day.

Don't know about worldwide but the US Nismo's average around 550/year. There's a user that goes by Vince on here that actually created a lookup tool for finding production statistics.
