1JZ fuel type

As far as premium fuel goes the higher octane is used to help prevent knocking/detonation. You can use lower octane fuel (many people do), but you increase the chance of real internal damage to your engine. For myself, I don't risk it where my GTE is concerned. It's a little more expensive per gallon, but less expensive than replacing pistons, valves, etc.

Not sure about the wiring issue, have to look around on that one.

That's pretty much what i figured but I wanted to be sure. My baby will get nothing but the best. Thanks for the help.
