Not sure if all or any of the Jap imports had the full 17 digit vin number, I know mine does`nt, It just has a chassis code as in GDB and then the 6 digit chassis number, Take a picture of both plates on the strut tops and send it to them, Although it should have already gone through an SVA test so they will already have the chassis number on their records, More than likely they are checking to make sure its not a cloned/ringed car
