Message	You'll still want to do a 60k to it as a precaution. (Which they will do for you before shipping if you want) I got a wiring harness as well, and after I got the motor in, it was decided I needed a newer computer and they sent that to me as well for a nominal charge. I must say I am VERY pleased with Z1's service and support (I had a TON of questions). They even offered to let me hear it run before they pulled it. As for going to Japan? I've never heard of that. Z1's motors are all USDM as far as I know. And from what I understand of JDM, the cars are already chopped and on racks so they wouldn't run. So going to Japan would be fruitless and expensive. I would HIGHLY recommend them. And I got a 96 motor with 45k on it a 95 wiring harness and a 95 ECU... runs like a dream... Just my .02 RedShiftZ
