Appendix 4

Production figures

There has been a great deal of confusion in the past regarding Z-car production figures; even those printed in my original book on the subject are wrong, though considered correct in 1999. Previously, the difference between model years (MY) and calendar years (CY), actual home sales versus production for the domestic market at any given time, and the years in which a new generation appeared, combined to create havoc. Now, at last, thanks to Nissan Shatai, we have the definitive details to the end of Z32 production:
