I know japanese engines from 90's are very reliable, but what is the highest number anyone got with stock engine?

Maybe i can start with my 2006 VVT - 260tkm or 162thousand miles. Catalyst converter was changed at 220tkm.

To my knowledge, the gearbox is original with no service done(atleast otherwise complete service/maintenance record does not have any marks about gearbox or transferbox). Biggest service seems to be rear axle repair with new bearings and seals.

Btw, the service booklet is not full, no space to put more stamps

. maybe need to make some extra pages or just use notes.

Mine is a 2001, engine is from my old jimny wich i put a g16b in and had 220 000kms on then, guess youll have to add an extra 30 000 atleast now. So atleast 250 000km on the engine and 220 000 on the rest of the car now. Engine and gear box has no problems, think it can run a long time still. I got a g16b ready to go in as soon something brakes, like a clutch or like that
