M = Tochigi Mfg. Plant ..... this is what Google turned up:

2009 Nissan GT-R: Inside Nissan's Tochigi Assembly Plant


No mention of Z mfg. but a good look at GTR mfg.

Hey jacnichols5............talk about our Z's being soooo fast. I only wash and wax the back of my Z because that is the only part anyone ever sees.

Sorry, I don't understand how the numbers disclose the actual exact date of production. I see only the month. How can I determine my beautiful new car's exact "birthdate?"

I believe that is in the doorjam.

One last question. My understanding is that all 370's are actually manufactured at the Nissan plant in Tochigi, Japan. What was done at Norfolk VA to enable Norfolk to be designated as the "Final Assembly Point" for my car? Are all 370Z's sold in the U.S. so designated?

Doorjam states only month and year, not day of production. In some other makes I've owner, one digit (or two) of the VIN identifies the day of production. Apparently not here though. There was a reference in a past post to Certificate of Origin. I don't believe I have such a certificate. Should I have gotten one at delivery?

Maybe maybe not, the Cert. of Orgin if its the thing i'm thinking of was on the windshield of your Z while it was at the dealership. I know I had asked for mine but the dealer prep people threw it away. To get the day of production (not just the month an year) I went to the service counter and asked if they could find it for me, all they needed was the Vin number and they printed off a sheet in 2 minutes. I'm curious if the production day is the day they started or finished the car completly.

Excellent. Thanks foir the straight answer.

500027...27th made in 2010?

My 2009 is 411287.

Visited my dealership yesterday. Had them look up my Z's birthday. June 11, 2009. This is consistent with the month/year label on the door jam and obviously correct. It was also noted that my Z didn't arrive at my dealership until mid-August and then not sold to me until November. It occurred to me that by the time Nissan delivered my car to me, the motor oil was already more than 5 months old. So much for those manufacturer recommendations that the oil be changed at 3 month intervals.

???...You're not seriously suggesting that Nissan should have changed your oil before delivery are you??? It's not like milk...It doesn't go bad sitting around.

The 3 month suggestion assumes normal usage of 15K a year which would be changing the oil every 3750 Miles of use.

:iagree: 100%

Exactly, how long does oil sit in a bottle after its refined. I don't see a experation date on a bottle of oil.

It may be thought that Nissan assumes a typical usage of 3750 miles over 3 months, but I don't recall that being stated. My recollection was 3750 or 3 months, whichever first occurs and my oil would have been almost 6 months old at delivery. Maybe I'm remembering the paragraph incorrectly but that's my recollection of how it is written and my reasonable interpretation of it. If I am wrong, I stand corrected.

Here is mine: 502383, 2010 40th, if your is 27th made in 2010, then mine would be 2383 made? thought 40th only got 1000 made?!! :confused::confused:

40ths don't get a special VIN...It's just another option/trim package built in the normal production schedule..

Beat me to it. It was the 2383rd 370Z to roll off the line for model year 2010.

Is mine the newest so far:happydance:

Three days ago I had confirmation my 40th was "At Sea" heading to Canada,so newest might be an exaggeration ;).I also know that mine was built after March 10th,the Nissan rep told my dealer "it wasn't on the ground yet" so I know about a 15 day window when my 40th was built ,be interesting to see the last 4 digits

I'm wondering how it will be determined who got the 1st,370th and 1000th , 40th anniversary North American models,the 3 cars I think that maybe special.

I would be curious to see what numbers (i.e. 370 of 1000 or 1 of 1500) the 40th and Nismo Zs have in relation to their VIN. My inbound 40th is 501843 but I have no idea what # she is of 1000.

402036 for mine

408012

So it still looks like I have the earliest 370Z here on the forum.

2009
VIN# 400091

Yep, and I have the earliest 2010 model (500027) so far

The one I ordered is 502663, should arrive 30 April.

Anyone here posted their 370Z roadster serial no. here yet ?
I've just ordered a 2010 370Z roadster and dealership told me the last 6 numbers are 303230

My VIN doesn't match that pictures description of one... I have more letters than that one has spaces for them... :confused:
