Another major difference in the Subie fasteners is the plating. You can usually use a wrench instead of a torch and drill.

You said:
"That would change to "JIS8" ("ISO8"?)
for Toyotas where the 8 mm bolt takes a 12 mm wrench."

For vanagons, this also applies to those of us using Subie engines.  After a number of years it still seems strange to never find a 13 mm hex on the engine.
