Hey guys i cant find my VIN?

Ive found the E-FD3S --- ---, is this it? it seems a bit short? Where is located?

will

 

Where you looking? Its in a few places. #1 easy place to find it is the SHOKAN, if you cant figure that out lift the hood its on the firewall, stamped into it and sometimes on a plate depends.

 

It's mostly in the exact same places where you'd find the VIN on the US cars, Firewall, door seal, title. Will be something along the lines of FD-3466

 

okay i found a six digit number next to E-FD3S ......

is this it?

 

Ok i found it, is there a way to check wat the Vin means?

 

Im totally lost. You have the car right? You have the Shokan right? What more do you need to know? History? No services like that I know of in Japan

 

Yeah I never heard of a place that actually tracks VIN's for Carfax type reports in Japan

 

the 1st number will tell you what japanese version it is, ie FD3S- 123456, would be a version 1 car

all that stuff you read about decoding vins is for non-japanese market cars with really really long vins that have year produced codes built into them etc

If you take the VIN into a dealership they will be able to give you information about the car. I don't see why you'd need to though - version/type info should be on the white sticker in the drivers' door area, and on the shaken forms, sale forms, etc.

 

yeah, i just thought i might be able to check the vin for fun....hehe! Thanks for all the help.

DaiOni, are you still in Japan?
