I met a guy who purchased a Viper, He showed me a photo of the Data Plate which shows the model year, 2020
Engine. Nissan
and some other info. Im pretty sure these are Chinese manufactured forklifts.
What strikes me as odd is the "Nissan" reference. Nissan no longer manufactures forklifts or engines and has not for several years. I recently purchased a Nissan short block K25 from Helmar and it has all the signs of a quality Japanese product. I could have purchased a long block K25 for the same money from the same vendor but it would be a Chinese built motor.
Remember the Honda Trail mini bikes from the 60's thru 80's. Those were quality Japanese built bikes. China manufactures the 'Monkey' trail bikes, motor says Honda but its a poor quality copy as is everything they manufacture. Heli is the same no quality junk.
