Austarion

I have gone through all the messages that I can find on where to find the VIN number on my Starion JD, but despite several searches I cannot find it. I did find it several years ago but I can't remember where I found it and much to my extreme frustration I still can't find it. Help appreciated. Cheers.

LOOK IN THE BOOT
just behind the rear seats...... under the carpet :D

I am pretty sure I found it in the engine bay last time, but can't remember where, but I will try out your suggestion. Thanks.

VIN plate on the fire wall. Theres also numbers on the right front strut tower.

firwwall? strut tower?

haha Al beat me to it

plate's not on the firewall on a JD.. in the boot..


yes rh strut tower for the stamped numbers.

in nz the ex has a tag on the inside of the bonet up just next to the bonnet latch up the front

.................its in the boot!!! :P

so the JD in aus is pretty much the same as the 86-89 ex euro in nz?
if not whats the differnce. are they both the highest output stock 2l starion?

they're quite different!

JD had 4 stud wheels and small brakes, and was the slowest aussie delivered starion in stock form as it was unleaded.. premium and boost wakes them up though, they're factory intercooled. have a squiz at the JA JB JD post in general i think it is...

Highest output stock 2l would be the gsr-v with the dash engine.
