rturbo 930 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 If you imported a Z from the US, you can just check the plate in the door jamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The pictures of the ID plates don't match, they're from different cars. As Owen pointed out, build month/year are on the door jamb plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish240Z Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 This might help Thank you! Very good information! If you imported a Z from the US, you can just check the plate in the door jamb. - No, it is sold directly to Europe.. Do you know where to find the plate on the European models? The pictures of the ID plates don't match, they're from different cars. As Owen pointed out, build month/year are on the door jamb plate. Oh, i can see it The one is from my 240Z and the other is from a German spare car (260Z) i once had.. - Same question: Do you know where to find the plate on the European models?

rturbo 930 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Well, as far as I know, some Zs, like the Fairlady Zs, didn't have a build date stamped anywhere on the car. I don't know if that's also true with european models as well. If there's no plate on the door jamb with a build date, it probably isn't on there. You might try checking your seatbelts if they're original. They should have a date on them somewhere. I know there's other markings that could tell you, but I think the seatbelts might be the easiest. However, the date on the seatbelt is not necessarily the build date of your car, but it should be close, if not the same.
