Hei.

Is it possible to fine the modell year only from engine number?

 

The number is VG30 874975W

Not that I'm aware. The Nissan FAST parts database only records the VIN for each car's record which

includes the date of manufacture.

I bought that engine as a 1998 modell year. I'am not sure its right, because the old PTU was mounted.

Have you tried going through Nissan. They might be able to tell you and engine number from a chassis number.

Also I’ve had an “engine number” report from cheap reg checker reports too. Might be worth banging you reg into one of these and see what you get back. The cheap one I use is 78888. Just send the reg to that number for a basic report which, each time I’ve used it, pigs back an engine number.

 

Eg...

You need the car's registration to get that report though? A '98 engine would be JDM. Was it bought "engine only"?

Oh, I see. Sorry I had the wrong end of the stick. I thought you had the car and wasn’t sure if it was the original engine in your car. :blushing:

Late 98 engine with early ptu mounted on it if I was a betting man would say its an early engine, that said it could I guess, of come from an early car with a later engine swap and to save changing the loom they used a mix of parts. So late 98 should have different plenum and other items different bolt on parts such as non painted fuel damper and pressure units but just in gold nickle colour, balancer bar not painted and different injectors etc.
