I just purchased a 1997 pathfinder. My VIN number is:
JN8AR05Y9VW168320
Can someone with a service manual please help me decode the various elements of this VIN number?
I also need to get some touch up paint from the dealer. It is dark green (hunter green?) but I'm sure this color has an official Nissan name. can anyone tell me that name?
Thanks, Tim C.
