On a side note, is there anyway to trace through nissan/datsun which engine numbers came with which chassis numbers, and vice versa?

what am I missing here if the coupes started from LB110-70001 and there were 89,541 (coupe) by doing the math then the last coupe should be numbered LB110-159542, then how is my coupe LB110-5XXXXX?

Excelent, I got the vin/chassis number part covered. How about the engine number?

Thanks man, unfortunately the car doesnt have a dash board in the car (by dash I ment the dash in the number on the firewall), from the numbers and letters you gave I can now figure the chassis number on the firewall, which from what you said is the same as the VIN.

How about the engine number any info on that I can see A12, but can't tell the rest untill i go there with some carb cleaner and a hammer to get the gunk off, how many numbers are there after the A12?

Thanks again

hello all,

I need a bit of help here, I am buying a datsun 1200 from a salvage yard, but i want to run the chassis number, but for some reason the first numbers of the chassis number is missing, the 6 numbers afer the dash are there, it is a left hand drive coupe, what numbers and letters belong before the dash in the chassis number.

Also can anyone tell me howmany numbers follow the a12 on the engine number, If you can give me an example of the numbers using a generic numbers or X in place of the numbers you have.

Also would the chassis number (the number on the firewall) be the same as the VIN.

Thanks a bunch.
