On a more serious note, if the last letter of your VIN is an M, then it's a 370Z. Nissan manufactured its 350Zs in Oppama/Tochigi (T), but manufactures all model years of the GT-R and 370Z in a factory dedicated to performance vehicles in Tochigi (M). |
Incorrect. 350Z production shifted from Oppama to Tochigi midway through the '04 model year IIRC. '03s will have T's as the 11th digit in their VIN as will earlier '04s however later '04s through '08s will all have an "M" as the 11th digit in their VIN.
The most accurate way to determine whether or not a Z is a 350 or a 370 via its VIN is with the 6th digit as the 5th and 6th digits indicate the chassis code. A 350Z's 5th and 6th digits will read Z3 for Z33 whereas a 370Z will read Z4 for Z34.
