Then Toyota puts one or two prefix letters for the engine used in the car. If it's a 2.0 litre 1G-FE, the chassis code is GX100. If it's a 2.5 litre 1JZ-GE or a 3.0 litre 2JZ-GE, then the chassis code is JZX100. IMHO, unless someone is absolutely sure of the engine capacity of a Mark II (or Cresta or Chaser), we'd better use the standard X100 code.

antp ◊ 2014-05-26 17:11	Following how we list the Land Cruisers, we should maybe use only X100 as generic code? -- Last edit: 2014-05-26 17:11:40
