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

Good news: I've got an EJ for my L. Bad news: it's an EJ18 that i can't find wiring diagrams for. There are manuals around for lots of similar vehicles, but none to match this very one. Thoughts: There are 48 wires out of the ECU. There are 33 wires going into the engine bay that should be kept. The...

You can get them new from most tyre shops for about $75 each.

RX sedan past my place in Carine today towing a trailer load of mattresses. Sounded pretty gutsy, so I'm guessing it was AndrewT.

ahky thanks, what relitavly easie alloys are avalibe though??? maby ill just get speedy to spnd out some new ones?? i didnt think it would be this stressfull to get new wheels.... The only alloys I know of are Superlites, made by Performance Wheels. A few weeks ago I was quoted $260 each, with a fo...

Alternatively I have the EJ18 that came out of my 96 Impreza. Was gonna put it in my beach buggy but kinda need some cash atm. Runs well just needs timing seals which is no big job. Got a full wiring harness etc. Looking for $700ono for it if you are interested. Can even throw in the FWD gear box a...

Didn't realise they were that cheap. Now I just need to come up with an excuse to store another old car at my parents' place (I live on campus at uni in Kalgoorlie, which makes it a bit difficult to have projects).

What's a fair price to pay for a non-turbo EJ and associated bits to convert my L? I've spoken to the Jap wreckers in Wangara - they offered me a 2.5L quad cam Forester half cut for $2500. A-Part in Malaga also said about $2500 for all the parts I need. I can't get a half cut or a wreck, because I'v...

The manual also states that it is necessary to remove the left hand guard to access the filter? Do they actually mean the guard, or just the splash plate underneath? Should just be the splash plate. I know on my dad's H6 the trans oil filter is visible when you look under the front left of the car,...

A welded rear diff is, in effect, not a differential, as it forces both back wheels to turn at the same speed. Going around bends will cause the inside wheel to spin and hop around. Eventually the weld (or something else in that area) will break. That's why you should remove one driveshaft when on r...

Thanks. Your way made it much easier.

Possibly a dumb question, but I'm new to front wheel drive, so bear with me please: what's the trick to getting a front CV through the wheel bearings? I found a scanned page of a workshop manual on the forum, which says to put the nut on the end of the CV and do that up to pull the shaft through, bu...

I would sure appreciate some instructions on how to bypass the heater core as I would love to save myself another trip to the mechanics. Just had the water pump done in my 94 L Series Sports Wagon , now the heater is leaking on the passenger floor. Cant do the job right now so Im looking for a quic...

Just found this, which answers most of my questions: showthread.php?t=980&page=4

Sorry bout the repetition.

Yep, another EJ-into-EA thread, because I can't find anything that quite answers my questions :). I've just bought an L series with a knackered EA82. I might be able to get it running, but it's leaking a fair bit of oil, so getting it over the pits for rego will be a struggle. I don't fancy doing mu...
