How to Get Your Canadian 40TH Anniversary Build Number (?/120)

TheGreatOne · 10-04-2011, 10:12 AM

I'm going to try and call today to get mine figured out, works been crazy lately...I don't seem to have time to do nothing like I used to haha

LMBmikeZ · 10-10-2011, 06:41 PM

Bump

Anyone else get there's? I was supposed to hear back from them on my inquiry regarding my number on Friday but never got an answer! What is it with companies that think they just don't have to fallow the timeline that THEY set out!?! Both Nissan and USA post have not returned my calls like they said they would....

and it's not the first time either company has done this to me.

TheGreatOne · 10-14-2011, 04:27 PM

Just spoke to Jeff, very nice guy

So they are getting my info to a Jennifer to get back to me next week. We had a good laugh over the "mythical build numbers" lol

I had also brought up an issue of my dealer not giving me a 40th anniversary car cover, so I'll follow up with my dealer again, move up the ranks before I involve Head Office again

Oh and Jeff mentioned they were working on compiling that list still for us

LMBmikeZ · 10-16-2011, 01:05 PM

so I got an email thought I would share it....I also shared the current info we have with this gentleman who has been helping me out.

"Sir:

I apologize for both the delay and the lack of progress I have made. As you noted, the VIN sequencing does not make sense at first blush; that having been said, I am unable to ascertain how the numbering is applied, although your vehicle is undoubtably “build # 51”. Should any of my enquiries that I have ‘out there’ spawn a plausible answer, I will forward it to you; however, I have little hope left that I will be able to enlighten either of us as to the apparent anomoly which seems to overshadow the number sequencing.

Exactly what I was thinking

LMBmikeZ · 10-21-2011, 08:57 AM

Wow

well you guys are right.

But I want to go take a sh!t on someone at nissan Canada's desk! Can't believe they are trying to ******** a bullshiter! I was on to the shinanagins from the start! I knew one side of Nissan would F*ck this up!

At least nissan north america got there's some the right way!

Here's my 2 cents:

So far, the dates and the Canadian build numbers are both in chronological order and 'fit' (i.e. no anomalies).
However, the VIN numbers are not in sequence versus the build numbers.

While tracking the US 40TH VINs and build dates I noticed an anomaly:

Baconboy's VIN and build number are 2600 and 867.
The next one I have is russmanz34 at 2644 and 923.
So, the difference in VINs is 44, but the difference in build numbers is 56.
Therefore, there must have been twelve US 40THs being built on a second production line during this time.

This was at the beginning of February, around the time LMBmikeZ's was built.

So I postulate that there were at least two production lines producing 370Zs, resulting in VINs not being 100% in chronological order.
Maybe this is why it was so difficult for them to figure out the Canadian build numbers.

Although the VINs are messed up, the build dates provided so far fit with the build numbers.
It would be nice to see TheGreatOne's build date. (I might add that it's pretty cool to have Wayne Gretzky on this forum).

The bottom line is that I don't think Nissan is screwing with us.

djpathfinder · 10-21-2011, 10:54 AM

That can't be Wayne Gretzky...his build number isn't 99.

TheGreatOne · 10-21-2011, 12:24 PM

Hey guys, glad you appreciate TheGreatOne gracing you with his presence lol

I just shot them back and email to get my build date as well....again very odd this whole thing

Its like they knew they were badging and accessorizing a car specially to commemorate a milestone in a historic cars platform history...but then did nothing in the backoffice to track and document. Very odd

krzykanuk · 10-21-2011, 12:39 PM

Maybe they had more productive things to do.

Than keep track of our cars, I think not lol.

Anywho, so I was just informed, February 11, 2010 in Japan

Ok, so now that is messed up!

My Build "date" is before member 40th(Feb 23 vs Feb 11) but my build "number" is after his (110 vs 113)

Shenanigans

krzykanuk · 10-21-2011, 02:13 PM

I stand corrected. Nissan is screwing with us.

Or someone made a typo.

Oh well, as long as they don't give the same build number to two different cars I don't really care.
