VIN Check Digit Invalid?

[Weeber]

Hey guys,

I got assigned an allocation (delivery date and VIN) for a BRZ.

I was really exited so I decided to do some research on Vehicle Identification Numbers.

I have found that my VIN doesn't work with

http://www.alton-moore.net/vin_calculation.html

And results in not complete/ correct.

Could someone explain this?

Thanks

does alton moore's vin check only work for USDM vehicles?

Here is the WIKI page about the VIN number

and it may be true that AUS uses a different numbering scheme. You might want to double check on it.

In the *Check digit calculation* it lists out how the calculation is performed. You might want to check your VIN number to see if:

* first it meet the same numbering schemes
* perform the calculation manually to verify the check digit

Again, different countries have different laws and processes so this is to consider. Furthermore, I think in NA there is also a reference/lot number for a Subaru vehicle that is different from VIN. Check yours to see if it meets the format.

Hope that helps.
