Is there anyway I can find out my exact model/trim with my VIN number or something?

What I'm really trying to accomplish is seeing if I have aftermarket brembos or the brembos that came with certain 350z's because I have a preowned 350z. I damaged a rim and I'm trying to get some stock rims to put on. I found some stock 17"s in town; I'm thinking they won't clear the brembos either way, but I wanted to make sure. I don't exactly a way to get around and check all of this in person right now

 

I think some one posted up some kind of VIN number.. checker... thingy. I dont know if it told you Trim level though. More of where it was created and other miscellaneous info...

***EDIT***

ok this is what I was talking about after doing a quick search. I havent tried this myself yet, but perhaps this will help you:

Nope, the model is not indicated in the VIN. The only way to find out for sure is to contact a dealer, then can use the VIN # to look it up in the Nissan system. NNA might be able to tell you too.

 

Info on this forum can help you figure it out based on other options your car has.

Brakes and wheels can easily be changed. I've even seen base & enthusiast models with touring model factory leather seats in them. ... but the electronic stuff cannot easily be retrfitted onto a car that never had it. Stuff like cruise control, traction control & vehicle dynamic control.

You can probably figure out your trim level from this table with 99% accuracy.

^^^ that's not always definitive though - a used car that has been modified or parts-swapped can be deceiving. There's additional info that can be found here...

The only 100% guaranteed way to know is through Nissan's records.
