i know don't have a lot of posts... but come on!! sheesh! give me some more credit... i DID buy a great car in the first place...

someone has is as their sig. maybe it's the first part of vin... a bunch of weird letters and numbers....

"53XYJ326546" something like that.... who's the pro here?

 

Then I'm not sure what you're asking (it's not exactly clear from your post ) .... please expand a little.

Are you talking about the engine designation like 1UZFE, 2JZGTE, that sort of stuff?

 

Huh?

 

I think that's what he's talking about ...

 

Or was Renato talking about how to breakdown what the numbers in the VIN stand for? That is, some sections of the VIN are the manufacturer, the model of car, year, options, and serial numbers.

Need more clarification. . .

 

that is the kind of thing i am looking for! so which one is it?

i am looking for a very discrete way to say i have that car...

 

Cut to the chase!!

 

that kind of thing

 

the 1UZFE = V8 4.0 liter motor in 98-00 GS4
2JZGTE= Inline 6 turbocharged motor which may be found in >94Supra or in certain models of GS (ARISTO in Japan)

In short they are just engine names

 

cool... that works... i'm done|

 

huh?

 

 

I think he means "JZS160" or "JZS161"

I believe the 00 is JZS160. I know that the 99 is a 160. It says so on my door vin. :X
