Car Identification

[nisskid]

alright guys, im after a list of where u can find ID numbers on R32's. i found a pic for vins, but it seems to depend. basically i want any number that can be used to ID the car, so that if i was to drive the car on the road under a permit, there is no way to ID the car to defect it.

What ?? If you're driving an unrego'd car on the road under a permit they cant defect it in any case

The Chassis/VIN is on the firewall, you can also find it on the compliance plate along with the model number.

If you want to to check further, use NissanFAST.

they CAN if they really want to, cars have been defected on trailers as well as permits here in SA. i want to cover all bases.

So your looking to remove the ID off the car?

If that's the case I think you'll be creating more problems for yourself not less.

[nisskid]

if ur not gonna answer the question, dont bother. anyone who knows me and my car knows ive been through the defect/transport system enough times to have an idea what im doing.

[madbung]

Fine.......bothered I am not.

So you are talking about removing VIN/Chassis numbers and similar and then drive on a permit?

Won't the permit have those details on it anyways?

[nisskid]

depends on the permit, for some types yes. i dont really want to go into what exactly i have planned, i just want to know where they all are, it's not just a permit thing, that was more of a hypothetical example, even though it is a real possibility, its just handy to know for a number of reasons.

firewall, compliance plate, build plate.

Whats to say you dont get arrested for having a suspected stolen vehicle if you strip the numbers ?

Some people learn the hard way - just how it is

I totally agree though, every chance that could happen

you dont know what i plan on doing, you're just making assumptions. i mean go for it, waste ur time, but dont pollute my thread with it.

i plan on taking my rego plates off the car so when i go through speed cameras, i shall no longer receive fines..

ps.. if you don't pull over they can't defect you

[nisskid]

should have known to keep my distance from SAU when dealing with legal matters, it's like going to a world of warcraft forum to get sex tips.

The only identifying numbers i've seen on mine are on the compliance plate and build plate on the firewall. It also has the compliance VIN stamped into RH strut tower.

I guess if they were getting picky there's your engine number which may be used to indentify it. Most rego stickers also have a VIN on them. Some cars also have the chassis actually stamped somewhere into the chassis. I've never noticed it on the 32, but i've never really looked for it either.

cheers man, yeh mine doesnt have a compliance plate, so assuming by build plate that's just the ID plate on the firewall then that's probably all i have around there.
