Understanding Toyota service records - in Japanese!

I thought Japan had something about a new engine having to be fitted every 30,000 miles - just wondering how this ties in with the first known UK service...

Try here:

The two forums are related; somebody there will have the knowledge you need.

Eh? Where the heck did you get *that* one from?

Yep, they indeed look like service records.

The few grey imports I've seen that needed a cambelt change had a sticker on the belt cover that showed the mileage (kilometre-age?) it had been changed at. Obviously you wouldn't be able to read most of it :) but it's got a number with "km" behind it on it...

One of the lads in work IIRC, who happens to drive an import.

Right.

I've had a few imports, including some that had done about

120,000kms, a Skyline that had done about 115,000 with evidence of a cambelt change in Japan at 90 (I think) and a Eunos Roadster that had done > 120k with a cambelt change around 100k.

I'd say your "lad at work" is spouting bollocks.

Could well be !

There's a murky recent history I understand... top-level split in the club I think.

I have looked through annual service reports (the ones with pictures - others are Shaken - MOT - certificates) and other than routine consumable items, the car hasn't had any replacement parts, and no new cam belt. Mr Yamamoto, the previous owner, obviously looked after it well. The final 92k report is dated 5 Oct 2001.

Seem to be all friends now: they refer to each other as sister sites. However the owner of .com is in uk, of .org is in Canada (and seems to be the slightly older site)

He's talking nonsence. There are strict laws to encourage people to buy a new car when their old one reaches three (or thereabouts).
