Which could be why DE5.0's Maxima would be off if a salesperson or tech went in and checked some option or changed it on when they shouldn't have.

I am not sure which part of the VIN represent what model/package the z is. But I think dealership can pull the vehicle information out of the database by VIN and order the right parts for your car. For example if my exhaust pipe got bent and needed to get replaced, they will order the nismo exhaust not the regular exhaust for me and all they need is the VIN.
