    The v8 nissan super cars run the same motor with a few mods and a lot more hp. The alloy block holds up well and the vk56vd is considered an excellent engine.

    This platform had been around a while now, especially in the middle East and they are considered extremely reliable, hence why they out sell the LC200 3 to 1 on average.

    The biggest concern in the long run would be the direct injection and potential gunk build up on the intake valves. Your best bet to avoid this is to run 98 and quality oil.

    In my opinion the 62 is a rock solid platform.
