The "SXE10" part of the frame code is the chassis number of your car, yours will be an RS200 correct?

By looking at your trans code I take it yours is an Auto.

And by the 'Z' at the end of the MODEL code, yours is a 'Z' speced Altezza.

The "A01A" part of the trans code tells you what diff your car has, all that end with an A do not have a stock LSD, all others that have a B at the end will have a stock LSD.

So just by looking at your VIN codes, I can tell you this much about your car already:
Its an RS200Z Auto, you do not have a stock LSD, its black in colour. Am I correct so far?

Any more questions?

Would you like me to post an image of mine too (for comparison?)

 

thank you for the info mate, it answers most of my question but it still missing one, from that VIN Plate can i ID the exact year of the car, like if its 98 or 2000, cause the thing in my country is that if they import a car thats originally 99 and it looks like a 2003 they will switch the paperwork and create a new one saying its 2003 when its really not so thats what i want to know cuz pretty much every damn altezza from 98 to 05 looks the same to me :suspiciou issed:

 

Post a pic of your Vin plate bud, and also do you have the orange middle strip for the indicator on the headlights?
If you do you car is pre 2001, if not its 2002-2003

Can u check mine man I'm having a similar issue please this is my vin *

 

yes it had the indicator, uhm...i don't have the picture right here on this computer but the data that i posted earlier on the post is the same one contained in the vin plate. so if it has the indicator means its 2001-...interesting thanks for the detail!

 

What does the sticker on your cam cover say? G1, G2, G3....??

 

it means its PRE 2001 lol, it coul,d be 1998, 1999, 2000 or 2001.

Ill have to compare a few VIN plates to get to know where its made.

Yours and mine is made in the same plant and the same built batch though, and mine is a 1998, (the "M31" code)

 

guys, where is this "G" thing, i can't seem to find it, if anyone can post a picture about it it will be utterly appreciated I WANT A RS200....and i won't let these bitches in my country try to rip me off with a 98 car priced as a 2003 car due to "importation c r a p!"

 

From what Ive gathered:
G1 = 6mt (98 - ?)
G2 = Auto (98 - ?)
G3 = 6mt
G4 = auto
G5 = 6mt
Guess G6 (if it exists) would be another auto.

Please check with all your cars and post to see if my hunch is right

 

Interesting, I can confirm 2000 RS200 G1 6MT.

Any Ideas on code for the Plant M31?

 

Possibly the plant code ?

And as promised above, here is my vin plate:

 

aaaaaaaaaanyways the answer is has not been reached yet, xnickx how can i ID your car's year in that VIN Plate you just posted?? thats what i want to know exactaly, for examples in Mitsubishi's FTO cars you can know the year based on a series of numers, example if it goes 000XXXX means its 1994-1997 if it goes 0100XXXX means its 97-00 and if it goes 0110XXXX means its some sort of special version

 

Post a pic of your dash.

 

Where is this plate located?
door jam, under the hood? thanks

 

its located in the engine bay right under the windshield wipers piece, you can't miss it since its aluminun and a bit shiny so it stands out from any color of the car

 

still no one can tell me how to id the year of the car.....great!

 

Isnt it on the door jamb or on the inside of the door or something? Ill have to go lookingtommorow

 

i will contact someone i know in Toyota Japan for you regarding build year............

 

FOund an easy way to find the year. Look at the Seatbelt. They are made the year they are put in and all have to have tags.

 

yo bro i just saw this and i looked at the seat belt for my altezza its a 2001,smart find dude thanks!
