Hey all

There maybe a better place to post this question...But for now im a site newbie :p But I have looked through some of your VIN forums looking for a way to work out the model using a japanese VIN number... I see in one thread a guy must have access to a computer program that deciphers jap VINs. If that person is reading this please help out

If anyone could shed any light on the following VIN number it would be hugely appreciated!!! Model year etc

FD3S-603775

Many thanks all! Hoping I can return a favor in the future.

That person would be me. i will run a build sheet for that FD as soon as my laptop recharges. From a quick look at the chassis number, I can tell you that it's a late 2001 build, probably a Bathurst R

 

Thanks mate!

You would be a legend.

Let me know what you come up with

 

Looks like I was slightly off, it was a February 9, 2002 built Type R Bathurst.
MSC Code: F158-2CW
Identifier Code: 06937-0507
STB Seats
20P Paint Code (Innocent Blue Pearl)
FF2 Interior (Black)
280hp
5-speed
4.10 LSD
No sunroof
ABS
16" wheels
4-seater

MSC Code F158 was used on the Type R Bathurst (タイプ R バサースト) and Bathurst R (バサースト R). The difference appears to be only cosmetic as yours does not have the badging on the B-pillar. Bathurst R cars have one in the same location as the "RZ" badge

 

Damn, got to love dispersing VIN numbers. I can only do that for Tesla's

 

Thanks for that mate!

Can't thank you enough. You've just answered everything I needed.

I wonder if the only difference between a bathurst and bathurst R are the badges on the b-pillar and carbon fibre dash inserts.

It would be interesting to know what the production numbers of what the series 8 type r bathurst are as I can't find much info. I know the bathurst R were limited to 500

 

Glad I could help. As for the Bathurst list, it's possible but would take awhile to compile the data. Currently, it's behind the Infini list on my priorities.

 

Going through the JDM Mazda VIN database. I've found model code F158 being the only one used for Bathurst versions.

With that in mind there would be 2824 Type-R Bathurst and Bathurst R models made, running from VIN Nr FD3S-602281 in August 10th 2001, to FD3S-607312 in August 24th 2002.

 

Can anyone help look up this JDM VIN, I would greatly appreciate it:

FD3S-301504

 

1995 Type R II

 

Thanks! What color?

 

Says PT which is Chaste White

Bought my rx7 a year ago but I was deployed so I never really got to check it out.. if anyone could help decode this vin for me, I would be grateful.

FD3S-300765

 

Version 3 (300765), which started feb/march 1995. Touring S (automatic), montego blue mica over black.

 

Hi,

Can anyone get details for this vin please?
Fd3s405997

Thank you

 

Hello,

Can anyone decode this JDM VIN for me? Need to know for importing purposes.

FD3S-403885

 

Using the link above

 

Note that data base is a Russian site. Use at your own risk.

There is a fellow in Australia that has a super list of Series 8 VIN with all the production numbers.

2001 Bathurst were a limited edition run of 500. The 2002 were basically a run out of the base model.

I think he has posted up the link on the RHD FD Nation, North American Edition thread.

If you have a 2001 limited edition, you are a lucky mon.

 

Can anybody help me with my vin? It’s FD3S-106684. Any help is greatly appreciated

 

So I completed the production numbers database over the summer. Now we have exact numbers for each model, color, interior color, etc

FD3S-106684:
Type R, built on March 28 1992
MSC code F109-210
3L Silverstone metalllic paint
FE2 black interior

If you want to know more, hit me up.

You my friend are amazing 🤩, it won’t let me pm you but I would love to know more about it.

 

Here is the link for car histories in Japan. Price is reasonable. Beware! You might be surprised!

I have been sold it as a type R Bathurst but the car doesn't say it anywhere? Is that info correct with this VIN number FD3S-606769 if anyone would mind checking the VIN for me or telling me where to look?

 

That is a very late production car. Congratulations.

Why not run a car history search on it for $35?

I did on mine. It was very helpful.

 

I just checked, it is a real Type R Bathurst. MSC Code F158-2CW, one of 2174 made. MSC Code is on the doorjamb sticker.
