  2. toyota stuff

    The first letter (or letters if a Z is used), stands for the series of motor used. Engines used in Corollas were K, T, A, ZZ, C and NZ series.

    The next letter refers to the general model type.

    E = Corolla / Sprinter

    A = old Celica / Carina, Supra

    T = Corona, FWD Celica

    P = Starlet

    XP = Echo/ Yaris

    V = Camry

    N = HiLux

    J = Landcruiser

    R = Tarago / Spacier

    XR = Tarago

    XE = Altessa / IS200

    XV = Camry

    XA = Rav4

    XM = Avensis

    etc...

    The numbers after that refer to the series or generation of vehicle, and go in increments of 10 for every major model change. The first version of any model is usualy 10.

    eg: KE10 was the first corolla, KE20 was the second etc. Note that the first Celica made was a TA20. This is because the TA10 Carina was built at the same time using the same chassis.

    The last number can refer to a different body shape, but mostly marks a different capacity engine used. But this last number change can mean many things, and is not consitent.

    eg: KE20 = sedan 1200cc

    eg: KE25 = coupe 1200cc

    eg: TE27 = coupe 1600cc

    eg: TE71 = 1600cc

    eg: TE72 = 1800cc

    eg: AE85 = 1500cc

    eg: AE86 = 1600cc

    eg: AE101 = 1600cc

    eg: AE102 = 1800cc

    eg: TCR10 = Tarago, 4 link rear

    eg: TCR11 = Tarago, IRS

    R or L after the basic model code means right-hand-drive, or left-hand-drive. Some cars in the 70's used a different letter here, such as "S" for hardtop, or "W" or "V" for van.

    MODEL CODES

    Letters after the dash in the model code refer to some basic options to better describe the vehicle.

    eg: AE122R-ALMDKQ

    The A after the dash stands for "Corolla" in this case, as the same chassis could be used for a "Sprinter" badged vehicle or something else in other markets.

    L stands for Liftback. (E = sedan, H = hatch etc.)

    M stands for 5 speed manual. (P = 4 speed auto)

    D stands for basic trim level.

    K is ... I keep forgetting this one.

    Q stands for Australian delivered, so it will be an almost all Toyotas in Australia.

    These codes changed quite a bit in the late 70's, so early cars will have different letters that mean something else.

    ENGINE CODES

    Before the dash, the letter referes to the basic engine series. The number refers to the generation of that engine, which usualy signifys a bore or stroke change :

    T = T series engine, 1407cc

    2T = T series engine 85 x 70mm = 1588cc

    3T = T series engine 85 x 78mm = 1770cc

    4A = A series engine, 1600cc

    5A, 6A, 7A, 1S, 2S, 3S, 1ZZ etc...

    After the dash refers to the specific engine configeration. Any number of these letters can be used, or none:

    G = wide angle twin cam head, high performance

    F = 4 valves per cylinder, ecconomic design (often twin cam)

    E = Electronic fuel injection

    T = Turbo

    Z = supercharged

    U = Japanese emission package

    H = Emission package

    C = Emission package

    eg: 3T-GTEU

    This engine is a 1.8 liter T series engine, that is a performace twincam with turbo and EFI, and setup for Japanese emission standards.

    VIN codes

    From about 1986 in Australia, every new car and private imports has had to have a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) stamped on the frame/body, and the ID plate. This is a 17 digit international standard as far as I know. (North America started using a VIN in the late 70's, and the number is behind the drivers door.) Previously (and still in Japan i think), a vehicle is described by the body code followed by the serial number.

    eg. KE10-000253 (I'm not sure how many numbers there are, can vary.)

    The new VIN code looks something like this:

    eg. JT2GHXE9300003825 (I just made that up).

    From what I can gather, the last half is still a serial number. The first half describes the vehicle a little better than the model code, and tells of specific options and the like.

    The first three letters tell where the car was made, as each manufacture has their own ID. I have only coded the first two letters.

    JT = Japan Toyota

    6J = Toyota Australia

    JH = Japan Honda (just an example, Honda don't make Toyotas!)

    AH = South Africa Toyota.

    ML = Thialand Toyota.

    The next six or so characters describe the model, and the last long number (often starting in zero) is the serial number which could be used to find the day it way made I guess.
