The cars on the Follow the Z Tour were obviously not the ones they claimed them to be "#2 and #3 off the production line".
Blue - 234
Yellow - 263

Z1 PW - 1677

Interesting, I did not even check when they hit their 3rd leg of the tour at Nissan of Elk Grove, Sacramento, CA. Great info, thanks Josh.

My bros Red 370 would fit right in the middle with # 260

very cool hot rod, killer bee, and the color to match very cool. Mine is so fast that it blew the color clean off- now its jet black-hope the same dosen't happen to yours!!!!

Chicane Yellow - 411073

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.
