Hey whats up

Ive been patiently waiting to get my NHBP 5MT sport. (since late nov)

They finally gave me the vin number, but I want to make sure he didnt give me some bogus number from some other car just to shut me up.
I know its a fit for it has "gd3" in the beginning of it.
For the rest of the vin is there number code saying the color or if its manual trans and or base or sport???
thanks for your input!!
cant wait to get it!

Yes.

All fits start with "JHM" (World manufacturer number),

Then

"GD" says its a fit
Then the engine (one digit)
1: 1.3 L L13A engine 2WD
2: 1.3 L L13A engine 4WD (Japan only)
3: 1.5 L L15A engine 2WD
4: 1.5 L L15A engine 4WD (Japan only)
5: 1.2 L L12A engine 2WD (Europe only)

Then single digit for tranny
8 for auto, 7 for manual

Then Single digit for body
6 For sport 4 for base

then the control number (one digit),

then the year (one digit),

Then plant number (one digit)

C Sayama, Saitama, Japan
S Suzuka, Japan
T Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan

then sequential production number (6 digits)

 

Bumping this with examples

JHMGD37637S039158

Manual sport

JHMGD38457S029454

Automatic Base

Well, I also tried to search, but couldn’t find it trough the search engine.
Therefore, here is the link to the old post about VIN again.

… and here a link to a page, which explains it all!

I think my post covers the question. More directly than the old thread or wiki

 

Here is a great tool I found. It works with any VIN:

No doubt about that, but the additional links will help someone else around the globe.

Great tool, unfortunately it seams not to work correctly for the Jazz in Europe!
(no engine and wrong gear specification)

 

Hey Friends, regarding Body Type, mine is not 6 or 4 but 5, It means it not base nor sport what the ?#$% is mine

JHMGD17502S######

 

The Jazz is a little different than the Fit on the VIN. I am not too sure how they work

 

but mine is a Fit, at least that says on the logo.
Notice im in Nicaragua- Central America

 

Two questions:

1) Is there any way (that you know of) to determine exactly the date of production?

2) Does your forum name come from a song, or a poem, maybe? I recognize the term but can't pull it out of my memory locker.

Thanks,
Joe

 

But it also is made in 02. I guess the earlier Fit/jazz is different than the 07


From the Vin, just the year.

It is a reference to Dorothy Parker as well as a song. You probably heard of Dorothy Parker, but I doubt you know the song

 

hello SteelDog

Acording the VIN Number and the invoice it says 2002

all codes are OK

Japan Manufactured: JHM
FIT model: GD1
Manual Transmission: 7
but the body i think this is a middle between the Sport and Base
it has alloy rims 14 , air bags for driver and passenger (no courtain), electrics mirrors, keyless entry system, sterring wheel adjustable on height, Radio CD (i installed a Cord for Aux entry )

I think it is one of the first version of honda FIT

and my forum name come from my first name: Jaime and last name: Bolaņos

 

JHMGD384x7xxxxxxxx COOL!

The VIN for a MINI has the color coded in as well.
