hey friend that's ok and completely fine but i had a very bad experience with maruti dealer.so although i know that maruti company will not do anything wrong but dealers can and u never know in what form. that's why i asked it. neways as you say i should stop being paranoid.[:)], but where is my friend wildon? he is active on other web sites and online forums and giving every small details about cars like color,engine type etc including manu. month and year, which a common man can not decode from vin. so i wanted that information from him hence was the earlier post. but he is not replying here. [confused]

wildon is an enigma, his passion and contribution to the automotive field is unparalleled. Do not know what is keeping him away from TAI.

anyways , to tell you how i see it, what all matters is manufacturing date which is October in your case, rest everything you should confirm through the PDI. People do not give importance to PDI and then fall into troubles. 350Z has compiled a very effective PDI where you can never go wrong.

Rest everything should fall in place with your eye for detail while doing the PDI.

hey my friend let me know if it is advisable to confirm it from different sources? because when i was about to confirm my vin then nitin_k told me to stop being paranoid. thats why i am not confirming my vin number from experienced and old guys like wildon or vibhor. but the sad part is that they are not replying also.

I’m relying completely on wildon’s guide as far as VIN decoding is concerned. I suggest looking at this link for more information.

hey dear i have no hard feeling against you as you are not replying but the fact is if wildon is not there or not replying then there must be another correct sources who can guide us.actually wildon has set a benchmark by his own source of information of vin decoding that we expect too much from him alone and expect more and more info. about our cars at least i expect about my car other than manu. date and month. that's the whole point nothing else.

thanks a lot for that help and a quick reply indeed. TAI rocks.
only one suggestion from my side is that this much dependency on one particular source might damage the reputation of TAI not sure though,just a thought and again needless to say that i am not pitching against wildon,i hope you understand wildon[:)] hope to see you soon.
