That looks like the timing belt sticker. Either it was changed at 100k KM, or it was due at 100k KM. Either way, best be changing it before you stick it in a car. Lord of Garbagemen posted:
Yeah that's definitely a series 2, Bonus! I'd check the coil packs out because they have the same issue as the 1JZ where the valley between the valve covers gets hot as hell and they crack, but apart from that these are pretty drat bulletproof engines. They love to rev and ping off the limiter which is why they're immensely popular with drifters over here in Aus. If it's run stock boost in a Stagea all it's life, it'll likely just need a refresh, (maybe do rear main seal and timing belt) and you should be good to go until those turbo seals wear out.

Lord of Garbagemen posted:Its getting a tear down for at a minimum all the maintenance items (head gasket included) and address some of the oiling issues . I have been trying to decide if I will build it up, mostly cause I don't know and can't get a good answer as to what the factory internals are good for. The coils look good but I might just convert to GM ls2/lq9 coil packs. Yeah upgrade the coils if at all possible. The SR guys use Yaris coils, not sure if they're good for RBs. Honestly I wouldn't take the head off unless it's a known BHG, or you're doing a serious build and want to go an MLS gasket. Bottom ends aren't as solid as a JZ, but should be good for 3-400 crank HP, especially if you're going E85. In a Z that's pretty drat good. Of course if you want a 1/4 mile monster, by all means build it.
