yes correct, being the year of 93... it is a series 1.
CC GSR's (AUS & JDM)
series 1... were built between Sept 92 to mid late 94...
series 2... between late 94 to late 95 I believe.
although some bulit at the end of 95, were registered as 96... because all vehicles from japan were complianced a coupled months later in Australia from the date of build.
Difference between VIN plates and details of both>>>>
AUS spec have 2 plates on the firewall
1) a build plate from japan, the last of the chassis code numbers on this... to match the numbers stamped on the firewall.
2) a compliance plate , the full vin on this is to match the one stamped on the passenger side strut tower.
the 3rd like you said on the inside of the bonnet is a option plate...
JDM spec have the following on the firewall
1st >>> build/chassis code plate to match the firewall numbers.
2nd >>> a yellow plate issued by the transport of QLD if the vehicle is a Personal Import.
All the rest, that were registered through a loophole ... had been given a new identity VIN ... on most of them, they had a 6SREBU or 6TREPV tag plate riveted to the firewall with the matching numbers stamped on the drivers side strut tower instead.
As far as I know, this so call compliancing/rebirth of these cars... was originally done only in the state of Victoria.
Many early model EVOS that weren't personal imports ...were sold registered this way also, through local importers.
