Gray Market Forklift? Nissan 3000

Hello,

Maybe this post should be in the 'Nissan Japan' area and not the 'Nissan USA'. I recently won a Nissan 3000 forklift at Auction and I'm trying to find out model #, etc. I'm not sure if it's a gray market forklift that found it way to the US.

The plate on the dash is only in Japanese, with the following info:

Japanese characters - NF01
Japanese characters - NF01A15
Japanese characters - 1500 kg
Japanese characters - 3000 mm (I assume this is the lifting capacity)
Japanese characters - 2675 kg
Japanese characters - NF01-020360

Engine #:
A38898
1483CC - This is the engine size, I think the engine may be a Datsun J15, still trying to figure out....

Big question - What model do I have?

Any help is appreciated.

Most of the grey market trucks that came through had clutches. The model is NF01A15. F01 is the series, 15 means it's a 3000lb capacity forklift. 3000mm is probably the lifting height.
It is most likely the J15 engine.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
