    GTR Dash Vin

    So I was looking over my gtr today and realized that it doesn't have a dash vin nor a vin sticker in the door jam
    It does however have the two vins on the firewall (plate & firewall stamping) I also realized that the last 6-8 digits of the vin are stamped into the rear window.
    When I purchased the car it just so happened they placed an auction paper over where the dash vin plate would be... Go figure lol
    I did get the original bill of sale from France(was sold to the owner I purchased from) and all importation paperwork, so I know it wasn't stolen... I got a notarized bill of sale in my name and a NH vin verification...
    My question is does anyone have a picture of a European 323 GTR dash vin & a USDM door jam vin sticker?
    I have no clue if vehicles imported as "race cars" have the dash vins removed before importation or if someone was trying to do a quick vin swap(wouldn't be surprised).
    If someone could take a picture and just black out the last 5-6 digits of there vin that would be awesome... I've searched the internet for hours trying to find one with no luck. I have no clue if the US dash plate is the same as the Euro, and I'm interested in seeing the fda/dot reg on the door jam sticker.
    Just wondering out of curiosity
    This is not for illegal purposes!

    I know for sure the JDM BGs have no dash VIN, mine doesn't, nor does my friend's.

      The dash from my halfcut had no vin plate either.

        Nor mine. Just the plate and firewall stamp. And not the 17 digit code we're familiar with; it's much shorter.

          Weird... It definitely has holes for a dash plate and you can also see the imprint of where one used to be... It does have the factory 17 digit stamp and plate on the firewall... I checked all the windows today and it does have all the last digits of the vin on every window.
          Does anyone have a picture of what the US BG 323 door jam sticker vin looks like?

                Strange, maybe someone was planning a VIN swap with yours. Mine definitely doesn't have a spot for it on the dash. Your VIN also looks more like a North American VIN. Mine is shorter, and starts with BG.

                Edit: I just woke up, I thought the VIN pic was the OP's.

                  Thank you so much for the picture, it's pretty much impossible to find one on the net... You can delete it if you want, I've already saved it... I've noticed when you upload pictures on this site you can view them on google images...

                  It must be a European thing, I have no clue... My vin starts with JMZBG83********** 17 digits

                  I had no way to tell the year of the car, luckily I was going through the factory service manual that came with the car and the original owner from France documented all the maintenance that had been done since the factory. I also found a french registration with the month and date of the car. I tried decoding the vin but realized you can't figure out what year it is that way, just 90-94.

                    Just 92-94 if it's a GT-R.

                      I can decode everything except the model year and the series/car number... My model year is "0" on the general market section. Model year "0"= No meaning... Their is not much information on the GTR's made just for France from what I've read online only 200 were made and they have the series stickers above the front fender marker lights. Rated for 190hp... I've only read about a handful after searching online for hours but never seen the fender stickers like mine has.

                      Edit: I've found a couple with the fender stickers.

                        As for the dash vin plate, my car is missing the limited sticker off the dash... I have no clue if it actually came with a dash vin or if it was just the limited plate/sticker... I'll check the holes on the dash were the plate was mounted... As you can see from the pictures below it was centered off the wiper arm...

                          Could be O (not zero).

                            I can't see a thing in those pictures, but if people are saying no VIN on the dash plate, then I agree with Durwood with someone may have tried to do a VIN swap with another car.

                            Also from what I've gathered over the years is there are no "o"s just zeros, no Q, U, Z or i

                            so your VIN is JM2BG83J200....

                              From what I understand the only people that have replied about the dash vin have had/seen only 10 digit serial number cars... I have no clue about the Euro 17... I'm trying to find someone else with a euro spec car that can verify.
                              The pictures are of the limited series number given to the car on the dash, you may be able to view them in my photobucket... http://s875.beta.photobucket.com/use...ted%20stickers

                              As for the vin it's JMZ

                              On an European/Israeli/Russian BG/BHA/BJ 323, the VIN should be as follows:
                              JMZxx####x#######
