As far as VIN. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> The only one I can find is the new one they put on once imported last month. Basically useless. I can't find the Japanese one anywhere on the vehicle, window pillar included. So I think i am SOL on the VIN idea, but thanks.


There is really no such thing as a VIN as we know it in NA for Japanese vehicles. Our NA Mitsus use a 17 digit vin, starting with "J", but the Japanese versions start with L for genIs and V for genIIs. Drew, all we have to use are 10 digit chassis numbers. Here in Alberta, we can use this number as our VIN, but I guess you're not so lucky? Do they charge you to create a VIN out there, or is it just assigned? The Chassis number is the one you found in the wheelwell, but it should also be on your info plate on the firewall.
