Z32 300ZX Canadian Market Registry
Canadian-market Z32 300ZXs were built to Canadian rules, with their own model codes (an N where US cars have U or V), equipment and paint mixes. Look one up to see how it left the factory: build month, model code, paint and trim codes, engine, transmission and options. Owners add their car through their XenonZcar forum garage and keep its details and photos up to date.
Canadian VINs use the same 17-character layout as US cars, like JN1RZ24S0LX012345. It’s on the plate at the left of the dash (look through the windshield), on the label in the driver’s door jamb, and stamped at the back of the engine bay. The 10th character is the model year (L = 1990 through T = 1996). US-market cars are in the US registry.

Canadian Model Code Arrangement
The model code is on the identification plate on the radiator core support. Canadian cars read the same way as US cars, with N for the market:
| Position # | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code | K | R | L | G | Z32 | X | A | S | N | … |
- Blank = standard roof; K = T-bar roof; C = convertible
- R = VG30DE engine
- L = left-hand drive
- Blank = 2-seater; G = 2+2
- Model of car: Z32
- J = GL; X = GLL
- Blank = manual transmission; A = automatic transmission
- Blank = non-turbo; S = twin turbo (VG30DETT)
- N = Canada (U = USA, V = California)
- After the N: G = automatic climate control, C = manual A/C, Y or W = leather
VIN Arrangement
Canadian Z32s use the same 17-character VIN layout as US cars. The 9th character is a check digit.
Canadian Z32 300ZX Registry Search
Search by any mix of VIN (or part of one), model code, build month, paint and trim codes, options, condition and owner. Factory records come from Nissan’s Canadian parts catalog (FAST), which lists 2,848 of these cars; not every car is listed, so a VIN that isn’t found can still be genuine. Owner names and places match only owners who chose to show them.

Is one of these cars yours?
Owner details are kept up to date from your XenonZcar forum garage. Log in, claim your car once (only one member can hold each car, so nobody else can change your car’s record), and then you can update the owner name, location, condition, mileage, website link, comments and photos any time. Your name and location show publicly only if you choose; otherwise only XenonZcar admins see them. Your car also shows on your forum profile.
- Log in to the XenonZcar forum (or join; it’s free).
- Open My garage, pick Z32 300ZX Canadian market (1990–1996) under “Which Z?” and enter the 17-character VIN, e.g. JN1RZ24S0LX012345.
- If the car is already in the registry and no other member has it, it goes straight into your garage with the details you entered. Otherwise an admin confirms the claim, usually within a day or two. Sold the car? Transfer it to the buyer from your garage and it stays in the car’s history.
