Is this a re-manufactured starter or a new one? Anyone know? I noticed both the starters (1.4 and 2.0) have a -84 suffix after the part #. I was wondering if this denotes a remanufactured unit. Also, it requires a core return....

The logic for Toyota part numbers is like this (generally, with some exceptions):

1. First five digits is the component or system area that you are dealing with so in your example 31210 is a part number category that generally corresponds to the first 5 digits of a ten digit Toyota part number (PNC as we call it). These correspond most of the time, but there are sometimes where the PNC number is not the same as the first 5 digits of the ten digit number.

2. 2nd set of 5 numbers indicates the vehicle usage and indicates generational aspects of the part number (engineering changes, supplier changes, etc) (ie: -6, -61, -66, -90, -17, -54 indicate Land Cruisers). You sometimes also have applicability of numbers across vehicles (in the case of tools and oil filter etc.).

3. Sometimes you have a -77, -83, -84, -C0, etc placed after the ten digit number and those suffixes indicate things like "remanufactured, locally sourced, or color codes.

So a good example of a Land Cruiser number: 16110-61081-77: (water pump for a late 2F): Notice, for example, that the PNC is actually "16100" but the actual part for the water pump is "16110".

Hope that helps.

In this case the -84 indicates it's remanufactured. It may have been reman'd in the US (or somewhere other than Japan) but the quality
is likely still better than generic parts store reman'd units.

IIRC in previous discussions among the part gurus it was stated that Toyota stopped selling and/or producing reman'd units in/from Japan.

To add...
When I did my complete rebuild/reset, I purchased a "Toyota" remanufactured starter and alternator. I'm about to jinx myself, but, they have been great; so far

^Same experience with Toyota re man starter - nary a problem for 3 years now.

I ordered a re-man'd Denso 2.0kw from Rockauto. The starter that is on my FJ is a cheap aftermarket so I don't have good core to return. The Denso is about 2/3 the price of the Toyota reman'd FWIW to others looking.
