I never could understand this? Whats so special about them? I didn't get one on purpose and instead bought a 2011. Is it because of the badges and different interior color? Please explain the attraction?

Yeah, you get a special color, both exterior and interior, red brake calipers, and darker wheels. I can definitely see the attraction. One of the main deterrents for me was that you couldn't get the nav system in the US. It's a nice exclusive edition, but not for me.

Its a anniversary addition! Something commemorative and special. I didnt have the option of getting one when I was buying a Z, and I have no regrets. Still happy with my red 2011. :tup:

Hey guys, I updated the lookup utility to be able to lookup specific VINs and return some additional information. One of the fields I discovered appears to be the destination port where the car was originally shipped, but I don't know what all the codes mean. If you know where your car was shipped, let me know what your code means.

I *think* I have these figured out:

ELZ - Wellsville, NY
GUM - Guam
HNL - Honolulu, HI
JAX - Jacksonville, FL
LOS - Los Angeles, CA

NNS and PLT are the biggies I'm not sure about... There are a few others too...

Thanks!

Thanks Vince. I looked my 2011 up with your link. My car came in at the LOS port. Then the car was transported to the Continental Nissan dealership in LaGrange, IL. I found the car online and flew from Kansas City to Chicago to buy the car and drove it back to Kansas City. I could not to save myself get a good deal with any Nissan dealerships in KC/KS or KC/MO. :tup:

pretty cool vince... def rep'd.

turns out the Z that im setting up to buy is 1 of 6 in 2011 or 1 of 80 since 2009

very cool tool! My Z, Platinum Grpahite touring+sport 6MT no nav = 45 total! rep to yo sir

NNS - Norfolk Naval Shipyard

Thanks for the rep! And you're welcome for the tool. I hope people have some fun with it.

Awesome, thanks! Another piece to the puzzle.

I'm assuming the 2012 statistics will come out later? I'd like to see how rare my car is for 2012 models. :) I'm picking up my 2012 Z very soon.

I'll try, but I can't make any guarantees. At this point, I have the latest data I can find.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. After doing my own research the 2011 production ended sometime between July and September. I'm thinking maybe you can't access any more up to date numbers because that's where 2011 ends and 2012s pick up.

Here's a link to my old thread about total world wide numbers. I haven't updated it in a while though. Perhaps I should.

Oh, and thanks for this very cool thread. I love this stuff. :tup:

Awesome tool! My car is one of 27 for model year 2009. Neat!

AWESOME job. REP'd. Here is my 370z info:

VIN: JN1AZ4XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Model Year: 2010
Production Month: 0510
Series: Z34
Model: GLSALTYZ34EUA-----
Color: RAE - Monterey Blue
Interior: G - Black
Body: Coupe
Grade: Base w/Sport
Engine: VQ37VHR
Transmission: 6MT
Navigation: N
Destination: LOS
Manufacturing Plant: M - Tochigi

Only 33 of this config. This was the exact config I wanted and other than the one that was only 20 miles away from where i live the next one was like 350-400 miles away:

Series Year Color Interior Body Grade Trans Navi Count
Z34 2010 Monterey Blue (RAE) Black (G) Coupe Base w/Sport 6MT N 33
Total 33

About as rare as I expected. I really count my lucky stars for being able to find one at a dealer only 20 miles away who was actually willing to deal.
