Japanese VIN Check

I'm not asking for someone to give me a free check. I'm asking if there is a way I could get a Japanese VIN checked... I have no problem paying for it.

Shoot me the vin number in a pm if you get a chance, or wait until I find out if that search can be done.

If so I'm willing to pay for such a service! I'm shopping around for a 80 series JDM Toyota Landcruiser and have trouble believing some of the odometers I see. I.E. 1992 Landcruiser 1-HDT inline 6 diesel, loaded, 80,000 km's for $11K ?!?!?!?

GOJ didn't start tallying the "clicks" on the ODO during Inspections until 2 years ago so if you do not have a brand spanking new vehicle there is no way to know if the ODO reading is correct.
