Vehicle identity
VIN & chassis lookup
Enter a CarFactBook model code such as RU3, a Japanese-style chassis reference such as GM4-1234567, or a standard 17-character VIN.
Before choosing an engine or part
Where to find your chassis or model code
A vehicle's sales name and model year may cover more than one engine or drivetrain. The exact code helps avoid applying another variant's oil, tyres, battery or replacement-part specification.
- Check the vehicle identification plate or label. Depending on the manufacturer, it may show a model or chassis code (for example, NHP10 or RU3). The plate location varies by vehicle; consult the owner's manual rather than assuming one location.
- Check registration or import documents. Japanese-market vehicles commonly use a chassis/frame reference such as
NHP10-1234567; the prefix is the useful model code, but the number alone does not prove a specific trim or fitted part. - Search the verified code here. Enter the model-code prefix or a conventional 17-character VIN above, then open the matching CarFactBook dossier. Always check market, year range and source caveats before repairs.
A standard 17-character VIN can be decoded using NHTSA vPIC, but many Japanese domestic frame numbers are not standard VINs. CarFactBook does not claim a complete worldwide VIN-to-chassis mapping.
For example, browse the Toyota Aqua NHP10 exact-code reference and follow its documented specifications.
