hello , i would like to know how i can check real year of 350z
sometimes sellers cheating on years by writing in documents wrong year
for 2003 year car , 2004 year etc or for 2004 year car they writing 2005 year
( at least in country i live sellers do it qq )
so i would like to know , how i can check year of car by checking something in car any changes ( between year ) ( or maybe its somewhere writen year of car , its still bad idea even its written since "year" somewhere inside car, sellers can change that too ) ( need to be something that would show real year of car ) ?
i would like to know how to differ 2005 , 2004 , 2003 350z
also i love how sellers bs , hey hey 2004 year december 31 car , it goes as 2005 buy it
thanks in advance

Look at the 10th digit of the VIN. 4=2004, 5=2005
See http://www.courtesyparts.com/specs/vin.html
Production date shown on teh door jamb will not necessarily tell you. Mine is an 'o4 produced in July 2004. Some '05s show the same date.

You can also look on the plate inside the drivers door for the manufacture date.

so manufacture date
and date is other thing?
lets say vin says 5 = 2005 year
but manufacture date says 10/2004
so car is 2005 or 2004 ?
or how this system works

However, I am sure you can also tell by looking at the ECU. I think 2 letters means your car is an 04. A letter and number means your car is an 04.5

so
manufacture date 08-12/04
and manufacture date 01-03/05
both 2005 year
diff is only when it was out ?
so no diff then ?
and one more thing
for example for mercedes
u go to dealer show VIN of car
and they can check car in database ( year , model , blablablabla )
if my car is 10/04 ( its 2005 as i understood ) and
ill go to nissan dealer give my vin code to them so they can check it in database
what database will show
2004 year car or 2005
ty in advance
just planning to buy z350
2005 year cost like 5000$ more than 2004 year ( both not used )
i just dont want to be fooled

See that 4 before the last X? That is your vehicle year. This is standard on all Nissans. Of course, if you want to double check, write down the VIN and call Nissan Customer Support.
As for whether or not your vehicle is a 4.5 or a 4 model date, you can always do the ECU check I stated in my previous post.
Edit: Here is a perfect example. Go to this page here. Look at all the models there. As you can see, the 8th digit shows a 3, 4 or 5. As you can see, it matches the description of the year.
