Don't those motors usually have low miles, because of the large taxes/fees Japan imposes on higher milage vehicles/their components?
That's what I've always thought. That's why the japanese junk yards were all of a sudden full of SR20DET's, and they all got shipped over here. Then all these guys with 240's snatched 'em up and put them in thier USDM Silvia's. :rolleyes: JDM fo shizzle. Boy am I glad I'm not one of those guys. :o

After talking to a MN3S member whose from Japan, I'd never buy a JDM engine (at least not one like a 4G63 or 6G72 that you can already get here).

I would pay exactly what it is worth for a rebuildable longblock and just expect to do it.

I thought I heard somewhere that the cars bodies are pretty much junk and the cars are pretty crappy over 30-40K. I have also heard about the tax thing also.

A buddy of mine just installed a JDM Toyota 7MGE into his '87 Supra and has been running give'er'take 3 weeks without any issues. It also came with a 3/3000 warranty I believe.

I wouldn't buy one since 4G63's are so readily available over here.
