I've been silently following the thread with great interest and have a running spreadsheet that I update with VINs and Build #s as they come available.

There are a few trends but one which I believe to be accurate is that for VIN #s from 1643 (build #10) to 1797 (build #164) the build numbers are sequential and these vehicles are all US. That is to say that VIN #1683 is build #50, VIN #1733 is build #100,... However, somewhere between Build #s 164 and 205 there are 5 vehicles which may have been for the Canadian market. From that point on there are Canadian VIN #s interdispersed throughout.

My VIN #1959, unfortunately I don't have the build #.

Well, call Nissan Canada at 1-800-387-0122 and get your build number.

Got my number today didn't know where we are keeping track. Mine was 487/1000 1/19/2010

What's your VIN? We are tracking that as well.

40 th build #
 

Looking for my build number? I am located in San Diego, Ca.
VN1AZ4EH3AM501784 DATE 12/09

Let me know if you need any more information??

Thanks,
J.C.

Your build number is 151 according to my calculations and your build date is probably 27 December, but you should call Nissan N.A. to verify.

:stirthepot: at least Nissan NA hasn't screwed up the numbering sequence yet like Nissan Canada has!



You should add your info to the other thread. We have a thread for Canadian build numbers.

Actually I purchased my car in the USA.

i called nissan and got a build date of Feb 16th 2010 my last 6 of my vin is 502731 they could not give me a build number? lady said she would call me back on friday

Psychic prediction
 

I predict your build number is 981.

just got it! #980

I was close.

Mine is 2524 and build # is 809.

This unexplainable "double wobble" in the 40th anniversary universe can only be explained as follows:

Shortly after build number 1733 rolled off the assembly line, someone in Japan learned that a previously unknown expanse of land just North of the U.S. was indeed inhabited by people. (total numbers unknown) Marketing demographics for Nissan North America determined (via Ouija board) that no more than one hundred and twenty of our brothers to the north "might" (like we neighbors to your south) be interested in dropping some serious cash on a "rare/considering land mass" performance vehicle.

To further complicate matters - before all this began (circa Oct 2009) Nissan North America was contacted by nameless agents - in an attempt to make extra side money off the then reported, but as yet unreleased - 40th Anniversary Edition Z. With its special paint, stealth-ed out wheels and blood red interior, these agents knew two things. Americans would love this Vampyre of the Highway, and that purposefully (and shamelessly) promoting this vehicle - as a 40th Anniversary vehicle - they could both insure that perceived rarity and make the vehicle even more interesting by depriving the owner of essential information.

However, Nissan was wholly unprepared for just how deeply we Americans would rue the lack of information and a factory produced build number/date plaque. Those nameless agents were however - well aware of the endless pursuit that owners would expend in search of this elusive information. The calls for information would be relentless - until every last owner learned the birthright of their personal vehicle - information now perceived as the final brush stroke that completed this awesome vehicle.

Those nameless agents you ask? Follow the money... Who stands to make the most as we duped owners continue to attempt to learn the birthdate of our shadowy drive way darlin?

Verizon.... :eek:

I have a Canadian 40th. VIN is 2153 and was built Jan 19,2010. Nissan Canada says its build #38.

I called nissan and they gave my my build number of 749. I also checked it with a link I found on the forum and it was #749. I have been unable to get the date the car was build. Nissan said they did not have that information. Can anyone help? My VIN ends in 502463

Call them back.. They have it..

Here is a copy of the email they sent me:

After calling Nissan Consumer Affairs they gave me my build date immediately. It took about a week to find my build number.

Vin: 502384
Build #671
Build Date: January 26th, 2010

Build #926

Can't wait to get home from this deployment and pick her up. Only 3200 miles on her. Bought the car before I told my wife. Ooops... :tup:

You're either selling your car out of Texas or someone is stealing your Vin.. lol

Saw this on ebay:

Nissan : 370Z CPE MANUAL Nissan : 370Z CPE MANUAL | eBay

weird at first I thought it was going to be a scam ad, then I looked at the link and it says it is at a nissan dealership! :confused:

Yeah, either he sold it and it ended up in Texas somehow or they mistyped the vin.. Lol..

The original post was from last December. He probably traded the 370Z in for a Cube.

:bowrofl: Ha ha... lol.. that's terrible..

how did you come about finding out that it was the exact vin though? I understand that you would run car fax, but to find out it was another forum members what did you do just copy the vin and search it on the forum??????......

Actually it was quite random. I was looking on ebay to see if there was anything cool for our cars and found the one being sold. So just for fun I decided to look at the thread on what build number it was.. and in the process came across that guys post with the same vin.. lol..

I really hope he didn't trade it for a Cube... ha

Cool I was wondering makes sense though looking up a 40th or Nismo wouldn't be to bad because of the build numbers. At least it wasn't a scam ad, I have seen lots of those before!

HAHA same I would hope he traded it in for just about any other vehicle other then a Cube! That car is just FUGLY.......

I have the worse luck! Every time I call Nissan these dmb fks never find my stuff. :( got tired of calling.

Zzz ya3
 

just got my build date

February 3 2010

Number 828

40th Owner..........
 

Need some info...
 

i was told that my build number is 756. my VIN is 2470. they could not not give me a build date. does the VIN and build number make sense? also, any idea of a build date?

thx.

This may be related to the need for having Nav installed. Perhaps they pulled Canadian 40ths off the line & assigned them build dates AFTER Nav was installed (in your case one day later)

I'm a 40th owner as of last week in Kansas City, brought her up from Macon, GA
VIN: 2258
Manufacturing Plant: M - Tochigi
40th Build #: 559

You can add me to the list. I've got #815.

I've got #450. Build date 01/10/2010 I believe

#859 w/ VIN: 502590

Tampa Florida # 90 here

Not sure of my build # but you can add me to the list as well... Dallas, TX
