Overview
Starting in 1980, Datsuns for sale in North America were marked with an international-standard VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) number. You'll find it in these locations:
- Engine compartment ID plate
- dash plate, visible through windshield
VIN, based on 1979 & 1980 ISO Standards, was the first international standardized vehicle identification number system. Prior to this, manufacturers used their own system. Nissan called their earlier IDs the "Car Number". Since the 1981 calendar year, only VIN has been used in North America and Europe.
| Digits | 1-3 | 4-9 | 10 | 11 | 12-17 |
| N. America | Manufacturer Identifier | Vehicle Attributes | Model Year | Plant code | Manufacturer + chassis number |
| Int'l | Manufacturer Identifier | Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS) | Model Year | Plant code | Unique chassis number |
Note that Australia started using standard VIN for passenger cars January 1992 (Australian Design Rule 61/00 - Vehicle Marking).
Example
Here is a photo of actual B310 plate:VIN: JN1PB04S2B9259790 (17 digits) * WMI: JN1 ** J: Japan ** N: Nissan * VDS attributes: PB04S2 ** These are manufacturer-specific attributes ** Check digit: 2 * Model year: B - 1981 * Plant code: 9 - Fujiya * Chassis no: 259790
EXAMPLE 2VIN: JN1PB05S7C7205723 (17 digits) * WMI: JN1 ** J: Japan ** N: Nissan * VDS attributes: PB05S7 * Model year: C - 1982 * Plant code: U - Fujiya * Chassis no: 205723
Japan Domestic Market
For vehicles manufactured and sold by Japanese manufacturers for domestic use, VIN is not adopted because the chassis number in the "number" notation is used.
* Chassis number: VPJC22-202948
This is not an ISO 3779 standard VIN but only a "Chassis Number".
