janz70 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi all just picked up my new 350Z (import) but my paranoid insurer (AFlux) needs to know the engine number - anybody point me in the right direction?, I will post up some pics later once I give it a good going over.

bronzee Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Do you mean your chassis number?? If so, on all the pre-loved Jap import ones I've seen is in the same place, as is the Kiwi ones, stamped on a silver plate left side, back of engine bay. Also centre back behind the engine at the top. (Mind you this might because of our laws in NZ). Or if you mean your actual engine number, there is heavy numbering on the left top.

WoREoD Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think its the VIn they want. Stamped in the engine bay on the body pane below the windscreen. Also on stickers on top of front bumper, door pillar and I seem to remember one on the door frame under the rear hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janz70 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have the chassis number off the bulk head panel in the center - at the rear of the engine below the window pane - Z33 etc etc. It is the engine number I'm after and I cant seem to find any off the stickers you refer to, only ones on the door frame seem to be in Japanese and they are just tyre pressures, no stickers at all on the rear hatch!!!???

Zzzz... Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I haven't got it on me, but i am pretty sure the owners manual clearly states where the VIN plates, engine numbers, etc can be found... front pages of the booklet, enev if it is japanese you could make it up from the piccies... Also it is my understanding that is should be stamped in a visible place (homologation requirement) on the main body of the engine... however the term "visible place" is sometimes "loosely applied" ...

janz70 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Ok peeps found the VIN plate, if anybody else is looking for it on theirs, mine was on the left hand side of the engine bay viewed from the front of the car,just under / behind where the strut brace is attached its attached with 2 plastic tamper proof rivets and to be honest I don't know how I missed it Many thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
