Production Number Plaques!
 

As some if not most of you know, the 40th's in uk and europe have the production number on their plaque between the seats so WTF! why don't we have one??

I say we get as many people off the forums to sign a online petition for a plaque! This car is going to be a classic and we to deserve to have a small piece to show which number it is! Seeing how there's only 1000.........


Any opinions or other ideas would be great, I know we can make this happen though so lets try asap! I will be asking Heidi if we can make it happen when she returns my call from today!

Classic? Ummmm probably won't happen, but I would still like a plaque. Yeah I just talked to Heidi and asked for my production number. She said she will let me know next week. I also asked for the plaque and she said she will investigate into what can happen. That sounds like only if enough people complain about it then Nissan will hand out plaques. Come on everyone! Call Heidi at Nissan North America Consumer Affairs at (800) 647-7261 Ext. 41462 and ask for build number AND plaque.

I was just posting this in the other thread. How about making this into a poll for people that want a plaque.
And then show her this thread. I believe Heidi won't be very happy with 100 people calling her.
I'm sure she has other work she needs to do as well.. :)

(make it an open poll, so afterwards we can identify who wanted one, in case this goes anywhere)

Sign me up!! I'm all for it!!

It would be cool to get one from Nissan...but if that doesn't pan out what about some custom ones that also have the build date etc... ?

I'd don't own a 40th, but I do feel that you guys should be entitled to a plaque with the production number, and date of production on it. Even the Nismos have that don't they?

Plaque
 

I am all for a plaque also. My car number is 501889 but I have no idea what my build numder of the 1,000 is.

I called and she said that mine is #313, after leaving message on answering machine they called me back in about 8 to 9 days later.

I got my 40th May 29, VIN 502000. Last one?

Maybe, maybe not you are the 2000th Z built for Model Year 2010 though.

Numbering of 40th
 

I have tried to call Heidi and have left two messages. She has never returned my call. I would really like to know the build number of my car. Last 6 of vin are 502539. Does anyone else know?

My vin is 502217 and my build number is 522 (verified by Nissan) but the numbers in the vin do not reveal the build number. If you look on the social group for 40ths else where on this site you will find the phone number to heidi at Nissan - give her your vin and she'll get back to you with the build number.

This I don't under stand they number the nismos, they numbered the GTR's, they even numbered the 35th anniversary 350's (which are far harder to tell apart seeing how there is 3 colour options available)

^^ that ones for sale at Brantford Nissan in Super black and the two tone leather.

It does seem like an oversight - I heard about the plaques on the 35ths as well.

IIRC, Nissan didn't put a ceiling on the production numbers of the 35th (I could be wrong). That would make it even a stranger omission.

TRUST ME I KNOW, it drives me crazy cause I love nissan Z's and have fallowed the Z ever since I got my car passion as a teenager!

I need some help trying to figure out the name of text used on the 40th Anniversary badges...or at least something close. I could also use a photo shop of solid black "370Z" "40th Anniversary" text in the same style in graphic file format instead of the text. Anyone want to help?? I've got a little project I'm working on...if you help me, I'll be sure you get one for your 40th. :)

Little teaser of what I'm working on. This was the first go around, going to make some changes tomorrow and I'll post the next revision. :tup:

Very nice. I like the subtlety and will definitely get one if they become available. (244/1000)

Can you get me a clear picture of it and I can try to figure out the font...I have a really bad camera.

Found that one, I'll look for another.

Another

It's a very odd looking "A"...damn you Nissan lol
Well, I've got about 150,000 fonts I'll see if I can find it

Well...after looking through about 20,000 fonts...i quit...
I just did the next best thing and traced it with the pen tool...since all you needed was the logo in black right?

that's a great pic!!

Id like one

Here's revision two, still more tweaking to do :) Cleaned up the 40th text image so it should come out better on the laser next go around.

Looking great!!

:iagree:

I like it!!!! I wish Nissan would have made something even half as nice as this. Even if it was a cheap looking as the 35th anniversary ones, but IMO the way the Nismo ones are looks best so far! (between the seats....)

Very Nice.

Aaron,

Plaque is looking pretty good. I gave up trying to get Nissan Consumer Affairs to help us out. I would love to have one of your plaques when you get the design finished. I have build #143 also assembled on 12/23/09.

Final Revision!

I made a sticker for the door jam to put next to the factory VIN sticker and also made a plaque for under the hood. Looks factory :)

Looks nice! +1 rep!!!!!

I like it and I want one!

Looks great man. Glad the logos worked out. Heidi said I should get my build# this week.
Thanks.

They look terrific.. Where there is a will there is a way...
Nice job!

That looks factory! I'm interested in purchasing those when you make them available to us.

I want one as well...just got my 40th last week.....Where do I find the build number? I was told it was part of the VIN, is that correct?

Gotta call Heidi at Nissan Consumer Affairs...1-800-647-7261 ext 41462
Its not part of your VIN

Just got a call from Nissan - 0090 / 1000 Here in Tampa Florida!!!!

Nooooo...another 40th in my area?:hello:

I understand that the Tampa area has 6 total and one went to a collector.
