Yes the Mistral in a Jap import & often has a better spec than the norm T2/Mav's we get most are LWB but there seems to be more SWB ones popping up & they are mainly auto's

Hey Sweety great minds think alike LOL

[jims-terrano]

Yes the Mistral was an import into this country. Most that I have seen have been Auto's, Teale over gold and quite high spec. I once drove robobones and was quite impressed but don't tell him shhhh.

IIRC there are a few parts that are harder to get but you can get them if you shop about, but most of the parts are the same

I honestly don't think, apart from the Maverick, that the T2 went by any other name Ex. If it had been built in Japan like the Mistral (or I think the original Terrano - see pic), it would have had lots of geographic variants, but I think the Spanish-built T2 only came in two flavours - Nissan Terrano II and Ford Maverick.....

Getting back to the original question the best way would be to use the Vin number found on the fire wall or use the chasis number.
The first digits are the manufacture and model I.D more accurate for finding parts.

The Nissan Mistral is an 4x4 off-roader manufactured by the Japanese automaker Nissan. It was also made by Nissan's Spanish subsidiary Nissan Motor Ibérica S.A. for the European market, where it was marketed as Nissan Terrano II, and also supplied under an OEM agreement to Ford Europe for sale as Ford Maverick on the continent.

Reading the above doesn't say it was assembled in Japan. It only says it was manufactured by Japanese Nissan.

If it was built in Japan, name the factory



Doesn't matter which country they are built in, it can end up in any market in the world.
Take the Y61 Patrol, its made in Spain and ends up all over the world. Is someone going to tell me there built in Japan

my 10mins was up to late to edit above post

The Nissan Patrol is a Four wheel drive vehicle manufactured by Nissan in Japan since 1951. The car is available and produced mostly in Iran, Australia; and also in New Zealand, Central America, South America, South Africa, Western Europe, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia (discontinued in 2006), Philippines, and the rest of the Middle East and it is in direct competition with the Toyota Land Cruiser. The Patrol is available with either two door ( Short Wheel Base or SWB ), four door wagon ( LWB, Long Wheel Base ) and Utility / Cab Chassis Variants. The old Y60 (GQ) platform is still manufactured as a military vehicle in the countries of Asia and the Middle East, and various versions of the Patrol are widely used by United Nations agencies. Users respect the vehicle for its power and durability, and modern version of the Nissan Patrol remains in production.

Who believes this???? The car is available and produced mostly in some things we read are very vague in the english that is used

i've always wondered if the r20 having been designed and certainly built in europe was
supplied to japan and asia market in knock down kit, does seem odd building them in
spain for local to japan market but is defined by whether it was worth assembling them
there, after all could be shipped back as return cargo for ships that brought jap built
models of car, afterall whilst cant name al ine not every nissan was built in spain or
sunderland, mind till jocky said patrols built in spain would have said those. if not
then imagine would be sports cars, unless their built in states, what about current pathy,
arent they us, or is it the x5 equiv the murano pretty sure thats built in states.

rossco were you confirming the bonnet or the rear lights, as its a requirement accross
europe for rear fog protection, on right hand lower cluster for rhd markets and on
left for left hookers, the opposite is occupied by an inadequate reverse lens.

No offence chaps but Wikipedia is a load of borrox. Its written by people like you and me, thats is to say, people who think they know stuff but often aren't sure (or right).

For example, see here....

http://wikicars.org/en/Nissan_Mistral

..completely contradicts the other Wiki entry.

But, I am 99.9% certain that, irrespective of where the bonnet catch is, the Mistral was made in Japan - and here in the UK its a grey Jap import. The Terrano II is broadly the same vehicle (at least early ones) but will have a lot of different components to the Jap version because of requirements to provide a percentage of European parts (which Nissan had to source to get Spanish government grants), as well as different emission controls etc..

And heres another way I know. I have a place in SW France about 20 miles from the spanish border and the Terrano factory isn't far the other side. I drive the length of France several times a year and when I'm at home there I cross from France to Spain regularly. I see shedloads of Terranos, often modded as the french like their outdoors. But one thing you hardly ever see in France (because I think import taxes are astronomical) is a grey Jap import. And I've never, ever seen a Mistral during the seven years I've been going.

Plus, as already said, it simply doesn't make commercial sense to ship a European-spec vehicle to the other side of the world when Japan is relatively down the road and has the Mistral....guess we can argue til some more firm evidence emerges, but Wikipedia most definitely isn't it I'm afraid........most unreliable data source on the net.
