Information courtesy Daniel B. Martin
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for 4th gen Maximas may be decoded as follows:
J (Country of manufacture, J = Japan)
N (Manufacturer identification, N = Nissan)
1 (Vehicle type, 1 = passenger vehicle)
C (Engine type = VQ30DE)
A (Vehicle line, A = Maxima)
2 (Model change)
1 (Body type = Sedan)
Position 8: (Restraint system: A = front and side air bags, D = front air bags only)
Position 9: (Check digit to verify accuracy of the VIN)
Position 10: (Model year: S = '95, T = '96, V = '97, W = '98, X = '99)
Position 11: (Manufacturing plant, T = Oppama, M = Tochigi)
Positions 12 to 16: (Vehicle serial number, first digit should be 1 or 3)
What about the trim level? How can I determine if I have a GXE, SE, or GLE?
Raise your hood. Look for a shiny metal identification tag fastened to the passenger side of firewall. The top row is the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first five characters are BLHUL. The sixth character is the trim level designator, defined as follows:
E = GXE
G = GLE
V = SE
