What to inspect on an HJ61

[Wherlwind]

I'm going to look at a 61 tomorrow and wondered if there is anything different to look for compared to a 60. I have an FJ and HJ60 so know all the usual rust areas etc. Any turbo items to check ? Just wondered if there was anything different to check on a JDM.

I've posted this in JDM but then thought this forum probably gets more traffic.

if it is automatic check the shift pattern at about 60 km/hr in O/D...
that is about all that is a short coming of a 61...

I test drove one recently. It ran smooth and quiet and had obviously been looked after.
The only fault I could find is that it didnt seem to have any boost when the turbo came into play.
I cant be sure but maybe the turbo was worn out.
