Hey Guys, this is my first thread on here, hopefully some of you find it useful.
I have been searching and trying to work out what each car will come with in the auctions is a headache. Asking an importer to look at 4 cars a day to find out they arent a premium isnt fair, so i decided to work it out for myself.
What you need to do is find the car up for auction on this site: http://jpcenter.ru/
Once you found the car, click on the "MONTH OF PRODUCTION" button
Type the cars Japanese VIN in there, for a v35 Coupe it will be CPV35-XXXXXX where the X's will be a number on your auction sheet.
From there you need the "code of a model"
The one im doing for this test looks like this - GLJARVNV35EDAA-C--
The first lot of numbers in the code are unimportant, you know what they represent by looking at the car
The important numbers/letters start from the number 7.
7 = Your transmission type, where N is 5 speed auto, i think manual will probably be M
After that nothings important until 14, where 14,15,16,17,18 represent what factory option packs you have
Please note i only had access to the sedan one and i dont speak japanese well so there could very well be mistakes or options missing
14 is concerned with what external options you have
The possible options are
GLSSW = Privacy Glass
COAT2 = "Bok Doko - eight off seven in a superuser" (WTF does this mean?)
DWHLV = 17 215/55 wheels/tyres
ROOF3 = Garasusanru electric step (sunroof?)
Option 15 is to do with navigation
- = Regular
(A) TELv2 - Tv Navigation DVD (shiki?)
(B) ETCS2 - ETC + TV Navigation Formula DVD
©TELV4 - Navigation with CD
Option 16 is to do with the CD player
CLAS2 = BOSE plus dual zone climate control (Premium pack?)
CLAS3 = ??? with BOSE
CLAS4 = ??? with BOSE
CLAS5 = ??? without BOSE
CLAS6 = ??? without BOSE
STDv4 = Leather Fronts
BLTT5 = 3 point type seatbelt, Power drivers seat?
SPI3 = one rear wiper frame a rear spoiler and opening
SPI2 = Rear spoiler and a link frame □ Assignable
Option 17 is to do with performance options
ACCS3 = Adaptive Cruise Control system
VDCs2 = VDC
DIFF6 = LSD
I will post up an image soon so you can reference what yours will have Happy shopping!
