pete shrimp Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hello! Is there any way I can find out the month of manufacture for my Zed? I dont trust the V5 cos it was imported - its got a "declared" date. Can I get it from the chassis number? I know where to find the year of manufacture but those places dont say the month :confused: I'm ordering some pcv valves and hoses you see, and there's a distinction between pre- and post-May 1990 :rolleyes: Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Baggins Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Pete, I think AndyP can help you out there I am sure he was able to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 http://www.300zx.org.uk/import_dating.htm But this only gets you as far as the year IIRC. It might be worth checking directly with Mike Feeney who has all relevant parts fiches and should be able to match the chassis number with the right part. HTH - Gio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete shrimp Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Thanks Gio! :D :cool: I'll now (when I go outside) know my zeds date of birth, hope I haven't missed it this year ;) Pete Edit in response to Gio's edit ;) - a couple of those eg boot liner & roller blind show months, guess I'll find out.

SRRAE Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I emailed Nissan about mine because its an early 1991 car, but I have things on it from the 1990 car, like the 300ZX mats not Z mats. One or 2 other smaller things which looks like it was made in 1990 but some things say 1991. :confused: I Emailed Nissan with my VIN number to ask. They told me I had some old stock parts from the 1990 300ZX but it was a 1991 spec with all the mechanical parts being for the 1991, so I wouldnt get the 1990 problems.

AndyP Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I have the CD (Mike Feeney got it from me ! LOL) Easiest thing to do is email me a photo of the VIN plate and I can tell you the month of manufacture, plus confirm some other details, which can help in confirming whether you has maintained it's "original identity" when in Japan. Offer is open to all with Jap imports of course, not 100% certain that my CD covers Euro cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy, just sending the pic now :) Typical - my roller blind says 8/90, one rear light cover says 3/90 and the other says 1992 :rolleyes: Thanks again Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyP Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I see a steady trickle of requests appearing - keep 'em coming and I'll do the lot at home tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
