fc ID
 

can anyone tell me where on my rx7 i can find what year it was built?, there is an ID plate on the firewall but it dosnt tellme the build year!!!

Open the drivers side door and look on the body where the door sits when its closed. Should be a label there with weights and year bulit.

theres no date there but half of it is japanese ay

Whats the vin? I will break it down for ya. You don't have to give the last 6 numbers.

my rego says vin/chassis number FC3S100361

Yours is JDM? Then I'm not sure.

FC3S100361?
I don't have a code for that one?
It might be a Canada car. Is your spedometer in miles per hour, or kilometers per hour?

wats urs if mines JDM?

its not canadian its imported from japan

I have basically the same code breakdown as what is linked above from Banzai. For U.S. cars. However I do not have a code breakdown for Any imported cars.
Hopefully another forum memer can help you out.

thanks anyway RW-7

That's a Japan VIN.
The "100361" is your serial #.
That's a really early number - numbers start from "100000".

I'm pretty confident it's a 1986 model.

See my registry here:

Note, there are several Japan VIN's listed.

cheers man

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market (ie built to spec for sale to Japanese market)

USDM... You get the idea.

i thaught it was japanese designe market???

I can see how you might think that as everyone throws the acronym around and lord knows there a a lot of people (I blame ricers) misusing it.
