I just picked up my new Nismo over the weekend and have been wondering about the numbering since then. You may know and any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated. Why is my 2012 labeled a 2013 on the Nismo tag?

2012 Z still avail to order on the Nissan USA web page. I just checked.

It says 13' on your Nismo placard? That's weird. Check the inside of your door, see what it says.

The VIN, build date, and window sticker show it's a 2012. The only thing that's funny is the Nismo plaque.

^^That's quite strange, do you have a photo?

For some reason, they don't want to upload from my iPhone or iPad, any tips for uploading some?

Use Flickr and link it to the little picture icon in the post area.

Mine is the same way. I'll try to get a photo up tonight.

^^honestly that must be a mystery. It makes no sense. I would really love to know the answer to this.

I was confused at first and had to do a double take on my registration and all the financing paperwork to make sure I have a '12 model and everything but that plate would indicate it is a '12 model. But, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with that plate.

My conclusion is a misprint. The car clearly isn't a 13' and doesn't have the 13' upgrades. I don't understand.

I wrote Nissan an Email over the weekend, we'll see if I hear anything back.

If 2013 model is the only one available to order now, does it mean that 2012 model price will go down in about three month?

They already have 0% financing in most areas. They are already trying to push the 12's off the lot at that price! My local dealer just got about 7 new Z's in but 90% of them are just base auto's.
