I was wondering about that since it says Z34 on the VIN. I guess Z33 was a ghost...

If that is indeed the case, why is the new race version available called the Z33GT in this months Road and Track. Is it a mistake on their part? Or does it have a different designation for a reason?

This was beat to death weeks ago on zcar.com. Seems some people are easily confused by the 'Z34' in the VIN, which as VQRacer pointed out is a code for something else entirely. A 350Z is a Z33, in exactly the same way a late 300ZX was a Z32.

I suggest you wait for next months R&T for a 'clarification' on that story...

RXO: Are you then standing by your post? I have heard over and over that the 350Z designation was Z33. The Z34 in the VIN only meant two door hatchback. That seems to be what everyone else is saying as well. Do you know something we don't?

How to read a Nissan VIN

Obviously they're a little behind in that diagram. (No 350Z listed) But, you get the idea. The 350Z would be "Z3" in the VIN. Not sure what letter they chose for the engine code though.

Order Tracking

I have asked my Dealer about VIN/Order tracking and I got the response "it's being shipped here" so I am certain that he does not know how to track orders. Alot of people have said that they know where their cars are but haven't said how they know that. Could someone shed some light on this?
