I just purchased a 1997 pathfinder. My VIN number is:

JN8AR05Y9VW168320

Can someone with a service manual please help me decode the various
elements of this VIN number?

I also need to get some touch up paint from the dealer. It is dark
green (hunter green?) but I'm sure this color has an official Nissan
name. can anyone tell me that name?

Thanks,
Tim C.

The vehicle color code should be on the drivers door pillar sticker.
The 1997 Nissan Green color was FN4
