Jap auction grading papers

[user515]

I was looking through the handbooks I got with my 7 today, and found it's japanese service history, which is a bonus as I didn't know it had any! Only had the car a year as well... ops:

I was also looking at the 2 attached sheets, one or both of them appears to be the auction grading. On the diagram of the exterior it points to repair to the bonnet, which is correct. When I viewed the car, we noticed that the bonnet has been sprayed, and on the underneath of it, you can see that it has had a 'dentmaster' type repair. However, everything else was spot on bodywork wise, so no probs. I was just wonering if anyone can tell from either sheet what grade the car was? I was told it was a grade 5, and the second sheet (black & white one) has a number 5 in the middle, but I haven't a clue really. Also, does anyone know how the japanese calendar works, as the dates on this & the service history make no sense to me...

Any help appreciated...





Anyhow, I'm happy with car, just curious.

Sorry mate.. No idea..

Thanks Bazza, I've spent ages searching the net, but to no avail...

Barrie is the chap I'm getting my RA ecu from, so I'll ask him. 8)

Oh so he is.. He is a top bloke TM..

Barrie has sorted this for me. The 2nd sheet is a copy of the japanese deregistration document, the 1st one (the colour one) he thinks is some sort of service document. There is a sticker in the drivers door apperture, which has the same mileage 15931km on it though... :-?
