OP, only 2 things that can pretty much identifying a sport pkg. 1. The SyncroRev Match button near the shifter if it's a 6 speed manual. I've never seen anyone has added this feature on a base so far. 2. VIN. Because the Vin number is what dealer used to order the parts from Nissan if your car needs to be fixed. It will(should) be able to tell you if it's a base, sport or nismo. |

What character would it be? Reference I believe the VIN is coded like any other manufacturing serial number: It's a blank number linked to a product during manufacturing. Once production is complete, the VIN would be released to a database holding all the information about the car (trim, color, options, etc). Which could be why DE5.0's Maxima would be off if a salesperson or tech went in and checked some option or changed it on when they shouldn't have.

370Z VIN no Decoding!
That's the vin broken down. I agree with all the others, just look for the aesthetic differences. I don't think you can tell the difference based on the vin. GL OP

And the VIN does not tell you what model it is. If it did, there would need to be another character added to the VIN aside from the normal number of characters for this... Base Base + Sport Touring Touring + Sport Touring + Sport + Nav Nismo Nismo + Touring? And now Nismo + Nav Maybe if they take the last five, the serial number, and use that only it might be able to bring up more specifics of your car. But that is an individual number, not a special character to identify all cars of that model.

As for the VIN, I think yes you can't tell what model your z is just from the VIN itself. What I was trying to say is, the VIN rather is the key to the database that holds the information on your vehicle that will tell you what model the z is. |

I'm not sure if it does, because I've given dealers the VIN before, and they still ask me "Is it a base? Touring? With Sport package?" Maybe they're just incompetent.
