Well hopefully we can get out a bit more next summer and you can join us? Are you still riding bikes? Sounds good :) and I am still mountain biking, though a bit less competitively than I used to. Same same.. just more likely to find a Gen2 with less kms than a Gen1 Robbie, you can always look at p...

yes, all is well, though unfortunately haven't been getting on to the tracks much recently.

That's what I suspected, thanks. I will keep my eyes peeled for something with a bit more life in it

Hey all, The EJ22 in my L series is getting pretty tired and sorry for itself. I suspect it has a blown head gasket as well and all though I think it will survive this winter I suspect next summer would be the end of it, so I am looking to replace it with something a bit fresher. which leads me to m...

talked my old man into taking his new car out on some sand... :D i have to say i was quite impressed! Between the two of us we certainly got a few looks :cool: the subies: [ATTACH]3839[/ATTACH] xv trying a hill climb. i actually got the camera out too late, this is on the way back down (where he tri...

I wasn't going to comment, seeing as i am probably not in the most active users, but i think Alex is on the money. If you want a national club, i think its best to keep it away from ausubaru. insurance i imagine would be the killer. for every trip organised on here you would need to have insurance s...

Hit up, MTB92 - He might be keen to put them on Nigel. He's near Midland area.

already swapped out for a known good one.

1. Sorry probably my bad reading skills. Ok, if it's Gen1 wiring/ECU on a EJ22 then all should be fine. Just check that the injector loom is connected to the correct injector. The ones with the little silver/white sticker should be the for #1 & #2 2. If it's EJ22 loom wiring/ECU then all should be ...

Ok Robbie.. this raises more questions but will run the same format/numbers as above. 1. Only ever seeing 1 import EJ22 in the time I spent in Japan, I very much doubt it will be a imported engine (especially with the age of them now) but either way it will not run correctly on EJ20 wiring. The mai...

Ok, Questions... 1. Is this an EJ22 or EJ20? 2. What was just done recently, since this issue started? 3. Are the fuel lines on the correct way? Supply (from filter) is the top line. 4. What model car is it converted from? (can you post the ECU number?) 5. Are you plugging the test connectors toget...

think you will find 0.5 to 5.0 Volts is the range - and if you can give it the variation and watch as you do you may find the problem, maybe not if the O2 sensors are known to be working fine on other engines...... they are working on other engines, but they are getting covered in soot so quickly i...

all the plugs ? if the injectors are dirty they'll piddle and not spray for best atomisation and not burn the best - sooty plugs ? same likely if pump pressure not the best....can you feed the ECU a voltage of correct polarity and voltage to instruct ECU to go lean ? you know, bypass O2 sensor to s...

Yes thats right. Connect one side of the globe (make sure its a low wattage globe) and connect the other side to the ECU pin. In a recent Brumby to WRX conversion I did, I wired the check engine light to the 'Lo Range' light because the gearbox no longer had lo range. All the lights in the dash are...

I am down in Duns giving a hand to try and find the problem. Connecting the black plugs shows nothing on a globe we connected up (from the ECU check engine pin to GND), but i am wondering if the globe is ground switched (i guess this would kind of make sense seeing driving lights etc are). In which ...

I have chosen to go with a 27" Maxxis MA-751 A/T. They look like a pretty decent tyre and have some good reviews. I will chuck up a few pics once shes all done. They look really good, i am seriously considering them. how do you find the new tyres? do you find them noisy at all? and how is the bitum...

Nice work :) Think I worked out we just need to use both earth and power of the lighting and horn circuits on our added relays to make it all work - the trickle feed switching pos and the earth from original wiring to the relay, so no short black wire for the added relays earth just to the body lik...

I did some more work today, attempted to hook up the wiring on the Ute, thought I had rigged it up fine and then when it came to the switch on, nothing. So I will try again later. Does anyone have any .pdf's of the wiring of the lights or know of a thread telling you explicitly which wire is connec...

Cool Rob.. I like it :) I'm more for putting it outside so you can have more space for camping gear cheers Paul :) yeh, i think most people here will agree with that. most of my camping is with only 2 people and a couple of mountain bikes in the back, so find an extra obstacle to get to the boot a ...

nothing much new. I made up a bracket for the spare wheel a while ago, which sits nicely in the back. i dont want a rear carrier and apart from being annoying i think its dangerous just put behind a front seat. this is the finished product (sorry about the b/w pics): [ATTACH]3639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]36...
