PM me your VIN#. I highly doubt it was manufactured in 08/98.

edit:

zo0d, your car was manufactured in 05/98, paint code #AJ4 (red), Auto transmission and a CAL. emissions vehicle. It's number 107958 which is not the last car. The last car produced is 107998, so your car was 40 cars away from being the last.

[daftcon]

what about throwing in the first s14 built in the states? getting a picture of the first and last s14's built here would be badass.

[denian_cellphone]

this thread is interesting ahaha any idea of what the vin # of the first s14 would be?

[RoXiE.S14]

I'm a bit new to owning a vehicle (age 20, only have an s14 first ever ride!) and i had a question.. can anything be stolen via knowing someone's VIN on their car? stupid question i know lol.. thanks

There are big databases of vehicle vin numbers everywhere. Someone could forge your car's registration etc. but its not something they could not already do.

Updated first post.

[DJ 21o3]

I just bought a 95 Ruby Red Pearl S14, SE model, MT, everything...but it is back in Illinois at my grandfathers shop so I don't have the VIN on hand. will have to get that today! lol

[Okinawandrifter87]

JN1AS44D4WW107987 Can you tell me anything about mine? Lol.

I can tell you that you just gave me an invalid VIN#. But your real VIN# is: JN1AS44DXWW107987.

This car is an S14 produced 05/98. Color: #AJ4 (Red). FED. emissions. M/T transmission. SE model with fog lamps, front lip, rear kouki spoiler.

[Okinawandrifter87]

Thanks! Man, When I picked it up it had everything minus the front lip.

I'm taking the initiative to bump this thread as there is an ongoing thread about s13 production and it peaked my interest. So something is curious to me that we don't consider when talking about the number of kouki s14s. Take the productions numbers below:


96 - 7334
97 - 3655
98 - 2178

I've heard conflicting remarks that these are production numbers for the particular year and that these are the numbers for each model year. Which is it? They can't be the number for each model year if 7998 is the last car according to killer. My car is a 98 model, 7/97 build date number 5454 This would mean there are more than 2178 98 model year cars if my car were 2543 from the last car produced.

Given that, these must be production numbers for that year. We have to consider that a lot of those cars in the 96 category were 97 models. This would mean there are a few thousand more cars than the ~6000 cars figure that gets thrown around everywhere.

[KiLLeR2001]

I'll look into the production numbers for '97 and '98 models. This will include cars from 07/96 to 06/98.

[KiLLeR2001]

Alright. The numbers are in!!!

USA Production Numbers:

Total 1997 Nissan 240sx produced: 3,682
Total 1998 Nissan 240sx produced: 2,792

Total number of '97-'98 models: 6,474

Now who's going to update the entire interwebs!?

Curious where you found this information by the way. I'd be interested to know if there's a way to break it down by SE, LE, Base, 5spd, etc. I know it's easy to decipher individual vins to determine but I wonder how many total we're talking.

[Future240]

It's nice to know I have one of 3682 cars. SE model.

[StatticMyke]

Awesome information. Keep it up. Still waiting for pics of the first and last!

[yomisiu]

i've got a 3/94 manual base model s14

I wish mine were an SE or LE! Then I could have the Ivory seats! I have all the other things at least- factory 5spd, no sunroof, 98

Pretty much taking the US VIN database file for 240sx and deciphering the individual unique VIN numbers. It gets much harder with trim types as I would have to manually enter every single VIN one by one and record the data. And with every VIN id have to run 10 variations of each to find the unique numerical value since it is random check digit...

So out of 6474 unique VINs, I would have to manually check 64740 different variations to find all of the VINs.

Aka, I'm willing to do it if you guys want to gather some funds up and donate to the cause because it will literally take up all my free time.

Edit:

I would be able to record how many A/T and M/T models there are. Base, SE, LE trims. How many FED vs CAL emissions etc.

[pancakes562]

This is a really cool thread! I know mine has been all up and down California and that's about it.

[StatticMyke]

Is there a way other than carfax to find out your vehicles history?

Eh, don't worry about it.

I've had a total of eight '97 and '98 S14's over the last few years.

There's still a few clean ones out there.

[KiLLeR2001]

Bump from the dead.

Very first 1998 kouki produced... JN1AS44D9WW-105101

produced 07/97
#KH3 black
automatic
california emissions
Fog lamps / Power moon roof
front lip and rear spoiler
SE model

Who's the lucky winner?

[Colorado S14]

Are you able to check of the 6474 that were originally sold about how many are still registered. I would be very interested in the attrition rate over 20 years...
