For those lucky enough to have a VIN already, I'd like to know if this very simple VIN Decoder I pieced together earlier is accurate.

Anybody been given a VIN that is between 00001 and 00099 yet?

Probably all in Japan I'm guessing.

I saw a couple guys with under 100. One guy had 0085!! 0086 is like hitting the lotto lol

Enemies · 05-12-2012, 01:29 AM

Maybe I'm odd but I'd rather have 00001 over 00086. :P

I guess that's just a mistake.

yours shoud start as JF1ZN, correct? Since it is FR-S/86.

BRZ will be JF1ZC.

Do you mean JF1N? According to the OP, "Z" stands for BRZ line...that'd be wrong if the FRS has a Z too...the digit after the Z doesn't seem to be the issue frs_gt86 was pointing out.

My FRS is JF1ZN. Perhaps the N is what designates between the BRZ and the FRS?
