I was not able to find a VIN decoder here, so thought I would post it. sorry if I missed it somewhere, as Xterra is new to me.

Of course 8 is cut off, but it is Xterra. I didn't know how to fix it.
Nice! Now I can figure out where my Xterra was made! And maybe we can use this to figure out where a majority of the xterras hit with the smod were manufactured!
smod was a defect in the radiator cooling sections that likely have little to do with location of manufacture, calsonic which made the radiator from nissan fixed the issue after nissan found it and told them what to fix.
I heard that many drivers used services VIN decoders, to look the detailed information about a car. Who can explain, it is needed for what? What parameters is it needed to pay attention on? Is it needed at the purchase of bike? I tried yamaha vin check. What can you say?
The VIN is a code that uniquely identifies all vehicles. I use the VIN decoder feature on https://www.nissanpartsprime.com/ to narrow down the catalog to parts that are specific to my vehicle. The VIN is the best and most accurate way to search for genuine OEM Nissan parts. Hope this helps Mahric.
VINs in the usa are mostly universal 1st letter or number is the country code 1,2,3,5 are north america 1 and 5 are usa 2 is canada 3 is mexico j is japan k is korea etc. 8th is usually the engine code, except toyota they use 5th digit 2nd and 3rd digit are manufacturer code 5th 6th 7th and 8th are brand, model, engine, and trim info (can be interchanged between these digits somewhat, see above most use the 8th as engine code but toyota uses the 5th one) 9th is a security digit 10th is the year 11th is the plant code the resta re the numerically assigned digits as they are made and can go all 0's and a 1 to all 9's or vary depending on trim/engine and plant code preceding them
In fact, you can use any VIN decoder and find out the same info, am I right? I remember once buying car parts online. But I made a mistake not looking to the vin code decoding to know the exact model I needed to buy for (it wasn't my car). Well, this must be a lesson for such people like me! You should always look for the info about the car's exact model and the parts that you want to buy. Google it, or ask on the forums. And what is even better is to look for the vin code and use a vin decoder, for example, Vingurus, to find out the car's needed info.
