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.
There's that too, but Z1 and Z2 (300zx) already collide with new Nissan models (Cube/Murano). If they keep that up, then you'll need to know both the model and where it was manufactured to figure out what it is Dunno why their website is having a hard time decoding this though, z3 and z4 are still only used by the z33 and z34 - it's probably just a typo.

I thought they kept the plant code T for all z33s though. Admittedly I only owned a 2003.
