Subyroo, hello mate, nice to see some activity in Brisbane.
Silverbullet, I've got the PS1 and a few games sitting in a box, just can't part with it. Also, just want to clarify, I do like EJ swaps, but whenever I ask or look for information the response is often 'Weber it' or 'just EJ it', it misses the point.
Bennie, haven't been able to break it loose before, and now won't be able to (see below), it all needs work anyway, and now I can properly clean everything. Going to separate trans and deal with it later. Thanks for the info, I don't care about engine numbers (didn't even come with documents), just don't want to spend heaps for a formality, but, if the engine that I'm 'swapping down to' (In it's original configuration), is below the EJ20H's stock 250hp, I might be fine. Not looking to flog it, ideally it will be a fun daily with reasonable fuel economy.
I've been busy.
Lots of messing around with rusty downpipes, but it's out. Of course, nothing went to plan, but by now that's 'all part of the plan'. But it was foiled at the final stage - it doesn't fit through the back gate. will fit without the trans though.
Found this earlier, probably just 50/50 split but still interesting.
Ran the Vin through LegacyPic.Uk, and it came up as a GT-B and all info was correct but an asterisk stated that it doesn't always apply to JDM cars.
There's a lot of misinformation, but here's the for and against.
For:
Manual adjustment drivers seat (All regular GT had Power adjustment, GT-B didn't)
Nippon ABS (optional for GT, standard for GT-B)
Cassette + CD radio system (optional for GT, standard for GT-B)
Possibly lowered suspension, didn't clear the car trailer (GT-B had 'Subaru Sports Suspension')
No airbags (GT had drivers and optional passengers, GT-B had none. Because the sportier model needs less safety)
FH option code (Believe to be GT-B only)
Against:
No BBS wheels (Stock on GT-B)
Wood trim (Supposedly not available for GT-B)
Seller probably would of said so
If it is a GT-B, it will have a torsen rear diff, will be interesting to see.
