I honestly hate the search feature here, I can never find anything I'm looking for. I tried Google with no luck either.

Does anyone know how to decode the VIN number for the G35?

Basically, I just need to know when the car was made. Since it is a 2003, I need to know whether it will have the doggy-door trunk or not.

Thanks in advance.

 

call your local dealer, or post the vin and i ll run it 2morrow at work,

look on the driver's side door it shoudl say the production month and year on the sticker.

 

If this was for my own car, I would just look at the trunk and see if there's a doggy door or not...

My friend is going to an auction and has no way of seeing the cars before he gets there. He only has their VINs to check their history. Carfax doesn't say when they were manufactured.

So nobody knows anything about VINs ?

 

tell me if this helps

It actually told me things I figured out myself. Just by looking at 3 VINs from 2003 G35's, I was about to tell which number represented year.

I gotta find out which number represents when it was built, a month I guess.

Bah, I'll just tell him to take his chances and go to the auction.

Thanks guys.

 

If he could get it for a good enough deal it should not matter. He could always get a newer trunk lid from a junk yard.

 

if you give me the vin i can tell you what trunk it has..

 

i'm surprized no one has directed you to infinitihelp yet... madchef posted the link quite a while back.

click here for the VIN decoding

 

I knew I had read that somewhere and was trying like crazy to find it. I looked through the service maual, owner's manual and all over this site but could not find it.

 

Thanks for that link.

I'm guessing the serial number of the car should tell when it was made... does anyone know after which number the cars are 2003.5 ?
