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

Interested to see how you with the wolf. I've got to do some serious searching to solve the check engine light issue on mine, so might ditch the factory wiring. But it's going to be a pain with the 4eat behind it... I was originally trying to keep "original" period mods with the exception of lib rs ...

No worries about the waiting for L series stuff. If you're going to get stuff done in China, I travel here often as I'm married to a woman from Shanghai (and am there at the moment enjoying the smog, how I miss Aus sun, clouds and blue sky...). If you can get packages made to fit as luggage and <23k...

You might have to become my new best friend

Is it just the Aus models, or Japan also?

Would love to do most of this drive sometime.
Out of curiousity, some of those "off-road" (not the beaches) places look like they were pretty hard packed & wouldn't need 4wd.
How much of the trip do you reckon could be done with a 2wd?

L series door handle surrounds might be nice. The plastic goes bad after being in the sun too long.
Power window surrounds also go brittle where the screws from behind break.

Might have some spares I can donate for the good of all if you need samples to measure off.

colour?

Does the turbo 4 pin ecu work? I've 2 dud ones here which don't allow my fuel pump to work.
Can you list the part number so I can check for compatibility please?

I'm curious about the fitting of the Liberty engine crossmember & LCA's

Would be very interested in the LSD & radiator. I'm also often going up the Pac Hwy to SE Qld, so if someone wants something transported, could work out something. I've seen 2 spider manifolds with 3 pin TPS, though these were still using the original throttle body on earlier cars with "black" ECU. ...

It's a bit hard to do your method when I can't get the engine to start with the proper ECU... something I just read for trouble shooting said something about an open circuit causing a knock sensor error. I do need to check the wiring to check for shorts, etc. This may explain why it still won't star...

no, the lights are on the same all the time, except when they should be on (they go bright)

Aust NA 22611 AA620 A11-000 148 JDM turbo (came in car) 22611 AA400 A11-000 R14 US turbo 22611 AA630 A11-000 141 knock sensor is single wire & I can unplug it no worries. Resistor is an interesting idea, but asking around, no one can explain why a faulty knock sensor would cause the ECU to not turn ...

So I'm trying to get my JDM turbo touring wagon running. The fuel pump isn't working (but works when powered directly from the battery) Using the check connectors, I'm getting error code 22, which I'm told is the knock sensor. The positive side of the fuel pump wiring works ok. The relay turns on fo...

Have you contacted Subareck in Adelaide? He's got all kinds of older subies around. I saw a few vortexes in the yard when I was there last December. BTW, in El Freddo's post showing the 6 pins on the L series control unit, the extra 2 pins are for variable timing. I've got an 8 pin one I bought from...

No, the intermittent unit for the L series is completely different to the Vortex. Mainly because it can't park the wiper though.

???? He's trying to make sure that his existing cluster works with the new engine.
Why the need for the rest of the stuff?

FYI, I don't know if its the same with the MYs, but the L series gauge for the coolant temp is a different range to the EJ sender. And they're different sizes :/ There are 2 temp sensors, one for the ECU (multiple pins) & one for the dash (single pin). I modded (drilled & retapped) the coolant passa...

I think there are still a few wagons at a wrecker near Wollongong. I'm pretty regularly up & down the Pac hwy, but not quite sure about the next trip. If you're not in a hurry, could organise something.

Bantum,

that one came from Vic, so I doubt its the same one.

I currently have a single range, centre diff lock box in my car. Would you be interested in doing some kind of trade for the rear casing that has the provision for the low range rod?

I'll be in Brissie this weekend & heading to Toowoomba on Sunday. Could I schedule to meet you & have a look?
