Hi Mark , could you check the first 10 digits of your'e Vin Number .
It should read ( for a Aus Del 1983 year type) WPO ZZZ 92 Z D...................
( Do not post the last 6 numbers)
So for 1980 it will be = WPO ZZZ 92 Z A ....................
1981 it will be = WPO ZZZ 92 Z B ....................
1982 it will be = WPO ZZZ 92 Z C ....................
And for Engine type/ number stamped on the engine for a ROW 1983 Auto you will see M28 / 12 then the line below will be 8 2 D ......................
These numbers mean M28 = 928 V8 engine prefix
12 = 928s with auto trans
8 = 8 cylinder
2 = 4.7L ROW = Rest Of World ( not USA or Japan etc)
D = 1983 year type engine
Just want to make sure its a 1983 year type , this will make it easier when you order parts etc .

Drifting
Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine ( thermo bridge) and below that general area there is a small raised section ( part of the engine block) , this raised section is in the horizontal plane , there you will find the engine type number & engine serial number.
