Enter the 17 characters of a Nissan Skyline VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the Skyline covers model years 1981 to 2019, Sedan and Coupe bodies, and power from 91 to 306 hp across 10 versions, from the Nissan Skyline (R30) to the Nissan Skyline XIII (HV37, facelift 2017).

Read all 17 characters on the car and compare them with the registration papers and the sale contract. Letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if you see one you have probably misread a 1 or a 0. The tenth character stands for the model year and should agree with the year the seller states.
It reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture from the VIN. It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, and it does not confirm the exact power output, which in our data ranges from 91 to 306 hp.
