I'm pretty sure that mine says 'Sunny GTi previously registered overseas' - as you say; some muppet just ticked a box with the closest thing instead of registering it properly. The P badge and the Kanji give it away though.
one of first pulsars made???

mines is listed as a GTI R1 :noidea:

Model: unknown
Fuel: Petrol
Number of doors: 3 Door Hatchback
First registration: 29 Jan 2001
Engine: 1998
Colour: WHITE

Yours wasn't the last one produced in 91. It might have been the last one of the 1st run. See the red highlights for 3 more runs. If Nissan had to make 500Gtirs per year (ie 90/91/92/93/94) then yours isn't 500/500 just another random RB like mine.
There were 5 seperate periods of production:
- 000102 (08/90) - 005769 (04/91) [5667 total] Series 1
- 020004 (06/91) - 021480 (09/91) [1476 total]
- 051003 (10/91) - 053490 (07/92) [2487 total]
- 100003 (08/92) - 102340 (07/93) [2337 total] Series 2
- 150002 (08/93) - 151846 (11/94) [1844 total]
My RB was produced in Aug 90, but it's on a J (92) plate, so I guess I have a special NME car too. Especially as I also have a GT2871R (although mine in the dining room, not the engine bay)

What my V5 actually says is:
Make: Nissan
Model: Sunny GTi
Body: 3 door hatchback
Cylinder capacity: 2000 (I gained an extra 2cc!)
Wheelpan: 2-axle-rigid body
Engine Number: SR20 (I'm sure it's got more stamped on the block)
Colour: White (well 'Marble White' so that's pretty close)
Date of Registraiton: 3/4/1999 (Decl/D Manuf 1990)
I'm sure the previous owner's V5 said it had previously been registered overseas, but mine doesn't?
0027XX puts me squarely in that first production band, so she genuinely will be 20 years old when we hold the celebration next year!

cool, so there could possibly be more than 500 light weights built before 91, but as a minimum there must have been at least 500 built before the end of 1991 to compete in the rallying,
So the car i call mine is the last one of how ever many produced for the 91 batch...... So you tell me what number is mine(it is the last)!!
Did nissan just build the 500 just for the rallying or did their budget for the 500 stretch more, who knows how there company works??

he can't help it flowing , he was fed it by someone else and was so stupid he belived it!!don`t forget!!
I'd guess possibly Nissan don't even know what number yours was out of the 500, assuming there were 500 made as they don't have plaques on like some limited edition cars and weren't built sequentially ie 500 in a row. Like I say, it's just another random RB out of many. Mine is definately one of the early ones as it's in the 0006xxs.
For Nissan to even think about competing in the rallying they had to build 5000 cars between 01/01/1991 - 31/12/1991 and before the end of 1991 10% had to be Homogolated ( RB ) as a minimum for them to compete.
As the RB came with extras such as more expensive differentials im sure they would have budgeted just for 500 why any more??, (im guessing)
as my chassis number is around 00576* im assuming they built around 600 cars in 1990, and 5000 in 1991 with 10% homogolated. The guidlines for rallying are very strict and closely monitored!! ( bearing in mind the chassis numbers started at 000102)
I'm just going by chasiss numbers and a small amount of logic, ,
im not saying im wrong, (but what I have personally reasearched I think i'm not far off the truth )
At the end of the day ( or YEAR as the case may be ) mine is the last official RB built no matter what you say
I just don't get your logic. Yours was the last of first batch which ended part way through the year. The next two batches covered the last 6 months of the same year and you're telling me Nissan built NO more RBs that year after your in April?
Unless.....you're trying to say Nissan only ever built 500 and no more and only from your batch. (more could be spares) I thought they had to build 500/10% or whatever each year they rallied?
