I'm pretty sure its not a fake.... whenever the dealer enters the vin into his computer a message pops up warning him that this not an ordinary Z and that special parts are required when ordering...

 

check for the tension bars behind the bumpers, the extra reinforcement welds ( i dont know where specifically), the exhaust, stitching, vins on all the parts, the fins on the cover of the rear diff. Most of all these parts can be purchased aftermarket but if they are all consistent i would rest my mind about it being authentic.

 

i think the numbers reset every year..... king baby on here thinks the same

Travlee9374: IIRC, '07 & '08 were consecutive through 1,6XX, from '09 + each year started at 001.

Just missed an '07, had been sitting on the showroom floor through Sept. '08. Sold at base price two weeks before I decided to commit. Drove off with an '08 Nogaro Red instead.

Mytramp: Truly hope you've an authentic Nismo, interested enough in your predicament to have Googled your VIN #. Pics online from prior dealer show authentic cockpit details, exterior wheels/aero are correct.

By VIN: http://www.ecarlist.com/cgi-bin/show...99&d_id=2599#8

 

Would the previous owner(s) able to tell you what # is was?

 

Would there be a list that would/could show VIN/SERIAL NUMBER production ....

 

this is NO DOUBT a real nismo.

 

I bought the car from Mission Mitsubishi in San Antonio. He acquired the car from an auto auction. if the badge was still in the car at auction, then some p.o.s. porter prooly stole it outa the car....???? This car has been to three different auto auctions in its history... First time it had only 97 miles on it.... this info I was able to retrieve from a carfax. BUT...... NOBODY in the freaking world is able to tell me the damn SERIAL NUMBER to this car.....
absolutely boggles my imagination!!!!

 

I contacted two local dealerships, Nissan USA, NISMO USA, and NISMO global either by phone or email in the past 6 months to no avail...... Everybody passes the buck on to the next Dept.... UNF@#&ING BELIEVEABLE!!!!!!

 

what about autech? they did the nismo modification to the Z. not nissan.

 

if you never find out..make a badge that says NISMO #?????.

 

I may just do that.... it would seem that all the dealers are telling me if I can't returned the old one then I can't order a new one!!! ????? WTF!!!???

 

And nobody can tell me the serial number either....
Us it top secret info or what????

 

any update on the plate. I bought a nismo with no plate...
I would really like to know my number and have it.
