The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

I started in a similar case to you, its a great project to do :D. Just a word of warning, if you have limitted experience it will be a big job and you will need a lot of patience to do it. Bennies thread was a big help to me, use all his wiring diagram links. start with what you know you wont need a...

took the EJ for its first offroad run on the weekend with some guys from work, and i am stoked its a hoot! :D there was a 4 runner, a lifted jackaroo, a colorado (which i was really impressed with) and the 2 L series (which everyone else was really impressed with). the dark blue L series is a good m...

My two favourite sets of wheels

yeh, it seems to be the same gannon. although, it loks to me like the shaft is angled back towards the driver a bit more on mine. i think we came to the conclusion that the fwd and awd have different set ups. i am not exactly sure why or in what way, all i know is that mine bolted straight up from a...

I'm working on it Toonga, believe me! (in between the rain anyway)

cheers Taza!

well, i must have done something right! My 1st attempt ever at going over pits and passed 1st go in a 20yr old wagon with almost double the power from stock, standard brakes and it was also my 1st engine conversion. Nigel is now officially a 2.2L EFI :grin: :grin: :grin: This is the main reason i ha...

no idea on weight, never even touched a sedan.

and just below where it curves. about the same as where the 235mm mark sits on the lower seat. but i was just going of touch really.

on a slight slope.
225mm short side, 235mm high side.
that is quite an awkward spot to take a photo from at night on wet ground

Edit: I should also mention the front is on slightly higher ground, so i think that will be slightly more compressed than actual.

dont know if this will help you. I just measured the free length of a stock shagged wagon spring, and is 310mm. the king spring are definitely shorter for the wagons in free length, I cant measure these for you, as they are in my car. I do know that i can put king springs in without a spring press o...

There was a post about 2 days ago where this was covered, gannon posted a riper wiring diagram. Or google 'earth switched relay wiring'. On these cars the connecton is earth switched as opposed to the normal positive switch which is the type of ddiagram yoy would have had.

a good wrestle with a pair of pliers should get them out, you have heaps to grip on. did you check that the holes on the cup lines up with the splined shaft out of the gear box? it looks to me like it doesn't. when you look through the hole you should see daylight (it can be a bit awkward to line it...

can you attatch a tarp or canvas to hang in front of grill/bumper for water crossing then after water flip up onto bonnet for airflow? haha, iwouldn't describe the powerlines as having 'water crossings' in this type of weather, rather under water in this type of weather :shock: nah, if its been gra...

on sunday we had a 'once in a decade' storm, which we are getting another one of tonight. conditions are meant to be the equivilent of a cat 2 cyclone. the powerlines track still has puddles big enough to swallow a hilux in the middle of january after 2 months of no rain. and you are planning to tak...

The cab control is the driving light switch on the diagram Steptoe. The headlights on the car are 'switched on' on when that negative wire of the headlights is earthed (earth switched). this is what happens when you turn on the high beam, so putting the switch there simply acts as an and gate. switc...

what ever you do, dont use something that could slip into the pin. I have done this on my first cv change and ended up having to grind the cup flat! If you do, the more you belt it the more it will open the pin and make it harder to get out.
Cutting the end off a screw driver usually works well.

Hey what's thread doing on page 2? :-o Anyway just installed some decent second hand gas struts on my tailgate (Thanks subaruby!) and they are even about 20mm longer than stock, boy does the door open wide now! and it stays there too, holds itself open even when it's half closed. They're not brand ...

4 scorpion rims in queensland . :twisted::twisted::twisted: These arrived today 8) [ATTACH]3379[/ATTACH] I always thought these looked awesome, but could never justify actually getting a set. but with the amount of effort i have put into Nigel (my L series) i decided; blow it, i will! :D it will be...

Only if your keys fall out of the ignition barrel. Leave your key in the accessories position and your steering wheel will not lock until you move the key to the lock position.Bennie cool, i didnt know that. my keys fall out anyway, so its not gonna help :p I disagree with this. If there's oil in t...

read what I said, i know you can engine brake, but how do you control it? with the engine off you have a binary breaking system (depending what gear you are in to the effect it has). it is either on or off. you need the engine running to be able to control the effect it has. also, i said if you remo...

absolutely keen Guy, but I cant this week.

I do have a set of wheels on the way i will want to try in a few weeks though...
