Open the drivers side door and look on the body where the door sits when its closed. Should be a label there with weights and year bulit.

Yours is JDM? Then I'm not sure.

[91GSL-SE]

FC3S100361?
I don't have a code for that one?
It might be a Canada car. Is your spedometer in miles per hour, or kilometers per hour?

I have basically the same code breakdown as what is linked above from Banzai. For U.S. cars. However I do not have a code breakdown for Any imported cars.
Hopefully another forum memer can help you out.

That's a Japan VIN.
The "100361" is your serial #.
That's a really early number - numbers start from "100000".

I'm pretty confident it's a 1986 model.

See my registry here:

Note, there are several Japan VIN's listed.

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market (ie built to spec for sale to Japanese market)

USDM... You get the idea.

[13bboy]

i thaught it was japanese designe market???

[RoughRex]

I can see how you might think that as everyone throws the acronym around and lord knows there a a lot of people (I blame ricers) misusing it.
