VIN Number Breakdown
Hey all,
I'm new to the forum, I recently acquired an '89 Supra Turbo, that's highly modified, and wanted to know if the Toyota VIN's break down the same way as the Mazda VIN's do? My Supra VIN is: JT2MA71J2K0116908 I just sold my 1st gen FB Mazda RX-7, and knew what every digit of the VIN meant, see example attached: RX-7 86-88 (8/85 - 12/88) JM1 FC 33 1 * G 0 ###### JM1= Mazda Passenger Car FC = RX7 Series 33= Coupe 35= Convertible 1= 1308cc 13B rotary non-turbo 2= 1308cc 13B rotary turbo *= Check Digit G= 1986 H= 1987 J= 1988 0= Hiroshima Plant ######= Serial Number RX-7 89-91 (12/88 - 7/91) JM1 FC 331 * K 0 ###### JM1= Mazda Passenger Car FC= RX7 Coupe 33= Coupe 35= Convertible 1= 1308cc rotary non-turbo 2= 1308cc rotary turbo 331= Coupe w/auto shoulder belt 332= Coupe Turbo w/auto shoulder belt 333= Coupe w/o auto shoulder belt 334= Coupe turbo w/o auto shoulder belt 351= Convertible w/o airbag 352= Convertible w/ airbag *= Check Digit K= 1989 L= 1990 M= 1991 0= Hiroshima Plant ######= Serial number Build dates by serial number: Model year-----Production Date----Serial Number 1986--------------8/85 - 6/86------100001-200000 1987--------------6/86 - 7/87------500001-600000 1988-------------7/87 - 12/88-----600001-700000 1989------------12/88 - 12/89-----700001-800000 1990------------12/89 - 11-90-----800001-900000 1991--------------8/90 - 7/91------900001-950000 |

Yes they are similar, as all vehicles are. It was a desision made by the manufacturers about 20 years ago. I searched google a few months ago and found a site that layed out the Supra.
Can't remember it now.
