Sequential number 13 0 14 0 15 0 16 0 17 0. Engine Type: 6 U Restraint: 7 D. Online Nissan VIN decoder. This is the Nissan LEAF VIN decoder. Every Nissan car has a unique identifier code called a VIN. This number contains vital information about the car, such as its manufacturer, year of production, the plant it was produced in, type of engine, model and more.

With the registry that we are working on, I have been starting to reseach vin numbers in a little more detail.
For example.. I found that the serial number (last 6 digits) of all Nissan 240sx convertibles fall into the following pattern depending on model year.
1992.... 10XXXX1993.... 20XXXX1994.... 21XXXX
So, I started researching a little more and found this page... http://www.vehicle-history.com....html
Here's a pretty cool chart.
All VIN numbers are 17 digits.
So for Nissan 240sx 'verts... All start with the same 6 numbers/letters. JN3MS3
1.) J = Manufactured in Japan2.) N = Nissan3.) 3 = Convertible4.) M = Engine Code for KA24de5-6.) S 3 = Chassis Code... S13
7.) Next is the Body Type... 1992's all have a 61993 and 1994 all have a 7 I'm not sure why they differ.. perhaps the classification criteria changed between years?
8.) Next is safety... All are ' A '... standing for convertible with belts and air bags.
9.) Next is what the chart refers to as a 'Check Digit'... At this point, I have no idea what this refers to. My hunch is something to do with color of the exterior.
10.) Model Year - 1992 = N1993 = P1994 = R
11.) Manufacturing plant codeAll Nissan 'verts were originally manufactured in Kyushyu - W *though they were modified for final sale elsewhere*
The final 6 are serial #'s of the car itself. 12 - 13.) All '92 models appear to be 1 0. All '93 Models appear to be 2 0. All '94 Models appear to be 2 1.
14 - 17.) The number assigned to your vehicle as it rolled off the line. I would assume this would be chronological according to the order in which they were built... But I am not positive about that.
So, there you have it... the mystery of the VIN number is solved... almost.
