My VIN doesn't follow the format in the FAQ thread above.

How do I tell it's destination (CA, etc.)?

Lift hood. Look at white sticker. If it says Federal and California on it, you have a CA spec. If it only says federal, you have a Fed car.

Jim,

If you wouldn't mind e-mailing me and letting me know where the VIN is different, I'll try to edit as appropriate.

Thanks!

Having checked over 20 Maximas, it has never been wrong.

Okay, I finally checked all over and there is no white sticky with a number other than the VIN that is on the firewall and dash plate.

Bill, did you get my email about this? Was my car made for Siberia or what?
