That's what my window sticker says on the origin disclosure portion. I think that is federally mandated and should be accurate under penalty of some sort.

Some exotics, for example, source motors from elsewhere (e.g., last gen Lotus Elise had a Toyota/Yamaha motor).

Although apparently Valvoline makes the OEM gear oil
I think some components is not designed by NISSAN. Remember the problematic gas pedal of those Toyota, I believe they just bought the component from MAGNA.

Probably similar with some of the components in NISSAN too.

US is very restricted on this, Canada is a bit easy on this one.

Maybe all your cars are fully built in Japan. My 370Z engine was assembled in Petaluma California in just 46 working hours over 11 days. A better job seems to have been done. Now I can go 1000 miles on a quart of oil instead of 500.

The joys of oil consumption.
