tell me, what would be a better motor for my skyline... a gallo 20 or a gallo 25?

But seriously, search around a little... the 1mz will fit (v6).

a 1mz is a 1mz, year does not matter.

Have you ever worked on a car once in your life?

Weren't some 1mz engines OBD1? I believe the gen 3.5 ones may have been, but I am not positive.

IMO dont waste your time. The solara was sold with a 1mz, just buy one that has it stock and sell your solara if you really want it.

No, the 3.5 were OBDII. If you do get one of these, the ECU should be from the same year as the pinouts are different.

thanks for the clarification

OP: I have noticed a lot of posts and threads by you asking the same old questions. Please read and search the forum, as all of your questions have been asked and answered here years ago.
