Mctwist Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I need to get a VIN plate re-made for my Fairlady Z33 The first item on the vin plate: 'Type' or 'Tipo' - what values should be in here, as i dont have the original to compare to.... long story. Fact is, if i cant get this sorted i'll never get it thru MOT Mine is a cloth interior JDM Zed with brembos and touring alloys - believed to be an 'S' ... but what type?? What 'Type' do people have on their vin plate - i respect this is confidential info so forgive me. Also, where are the locations of the Z33- vin number, other than on the bulkhead?? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 maybe email your chassis code to Nissan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 maybe email your chassis code to Nissan? It should be more factual than us perhaps giving you information that may not be accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctwist Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks guys. I have done this, but they can't confirm the Type. I got things back like the Grade - base, colour code. UA-Z33 which, based on spec links to a version S. I just thought with your help I could piece it together. Does type SAV mean anything to you guys?

ZMANALEX Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The type will be Z33 however it is the letters before this that may be different. I have checked 4 VIN plates this morning and 3 of them were type GAA-Z33 Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctwist Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Alex-san, you rock! Arigatou gozaimasu! Ok, now I can piece it together. Hopefully i will be able to help someone else in my position years from now with something for them to refer to. These are the release profiles for the Zed: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.goo-net.com/car/NISSAN/FAIRLADY_Z/UA-Z33.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3DUA-Z33%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DT7K%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26prmd%3Dimvns&sa=X&ei=JA94UIfhN6vM0AXc84GABA&ved=0CDIQ7gEwAg Specifically, here is the profile closest to my 11/02 model: http://jccc.web.fc2.com/japanese/nissan/fairlady-z-z33-200207/index-en.html Based on my Spec, and with my conversation with Buster... Mine is an 'S' Now, here's the good bit, the one place i must visit before my life is complete (kinda sad i know), the Nissan Zama Storage Facility. This is the very first Fairlady Z (Z33) 0001. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissans- ... oto-481834 See the Chassis Plate: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissans- ... oto-481890 It is the exact specification as mine, a specification S. See the type... UA-Z33. Well, mine is the 4xxxth model out of Japan. Ok this isn't precisely 100% accurate, but it's good enough to go with and is consistent with the information provided from Nissan. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
