Accuracy notice: 32GT-R.com reference pages are independent enthusiast notes, not Nissan factory publications. Specs, part numbers, colors, import rules, and symptoms may contain errors or become outdated. Verify with official manuals, parts catalogs, inspectors, and current local law before buying parts or cars.
