Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi there folks, I finally bought a 3rd guards red car, s4 From  autohaus in Sydney, Scott was nice dude to deal with from go to go. Question I have is,  I can’t seem to find lots of info from google about how many were imported to Australia and how many were guards red here, can anyone point me in the right direction? PCM, upon request send me an authenticity certificate for my sc a decade ago, but I heard they don’t do that anymore? ide be happy to pay for another 2 for my 944S and now 928. Sorry, not sure why photos are all over the place

That looks like a very nice 928S4 For the 1988 year model ( J ) , the number of 928S4's imported into Australia by Porsche Cars Australia ( officially & not grey imports ) were 77 in total , I have no breakdown on how many were automatics and how many were manual transmission for that year & no info on the colours etc The rear fog lamps ? , the 928S4 / GT / GTS ( 1987-1995) had the fog lamps were  built into the main tail-lamp assemblies (  different tail lamp harness for the Fog option  ) , where as the 928/s ( 1978-1986 ) didn't have that & Porsche would ( had to ) install one and sometimes two separate rear fog lamps down low into the rear bumper cover The red piping ( any different colour piping ) was extremely rare for Australian delivered 928/S/S4 etc , but very very common on the UK delivered 928/S/S4 etc
