How to Translate a Nissan Auction Sheet
Short answer: To translate a Nissan auction sheet, photograph the full page and upload it to a tool built for Japanese auction sheets. It reads the grade, interior grade, mileage, damage-map codes and inspector's comments for any Nissan — Skyline, Silvia, GT-R, Elgrand and more — and returns them in plain English.
Nissan's performance models are some of the most sought-after JDM imports — and some of the most modified and repaired. Translating the sheet is where you first see what you're really bidding on.
What to watch on a Nissan sheet
- Modifications. Skyline, Silvia and GT-R sheets often note aftermarket parts and engine work in the comments — translate them carefully.
- R/RA grades. Performance cars get crashed and repaired; an R grade is common and important.
- Structural notes. Look for repair marks (W) and replaced panels (X/XX) around the front and rear.
- Mileage vs condition. A low number with heavy wear is a flag — see odometer tampering and structural damage.

- Upload it to the auction sheet translator, or use Scan / take a photo.

Why performance Nissans need more than a literal translation
A word-for-word translation won't flag a repaired chassis rail or an R grade buried in the comments. The auction sheet translator is built for the format, and Kensacheck verifies the chassis against the original auction record — essential when modified, high-value Nissans are exactly what gets sold on doctored sheets.

FAQ
Can I translate a Skyline or GT-R auction sheet?
Yes — the translator handles any Nissan (and any make) from a photo.
Do modified Nissans show up on the sheet?
Modifications are usually in the inspector's comments; the translator brings them into English so you don't miss them.
