Datsun Roadster VIN Decoder and Registry
Datsun Roadsters are easy to auto-identify because the major North American model is encoded directly in the chassis prefix. PetrolJunky can identify the family even when the serial does not provide a precise build date.

Decoder reference
What this decoder page is designed to answer.
SPL310 identifies the 1500 family
The early Fairlady/Datsun 1500 Roadster uses the SPL310 model code in left-hand-drive export form.
SPL311 and SRL311 separate 1600 and 2000
SPL311 is the 1600 Roadster family, while SRL311 identifies the 2000 Roadster. The decoder reports the documented production span and does not manufacture an exact year from a serial unless a reviewed serial schedule is added later.
One universal input still works
The Datsun Roadster page is an SEO/reference page, not a restricted form. A visitor can paste an MG, BMW, Porsche, VW, Mercedes or modern VIN into the same field and PetrolJunky will reroute it automatically.
