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

So often when people say they have a funny noise or oil pressure problems they've fitted an aftermarket oil filter. I've had an issue myself, horrible big end noise on start up. Switched to a genuine filter & it immediately stopped! So, I would check all your hoses as Nubaru said & put on a genuine ...

I'm wary of stop leak stuff as I've heard it clogs up the radiator. Mine is a nice new all alloy radiator & I want to keep it nice & shiny on the inside for the new engine. One thing I've wondered is if it reacts with coolant, in particular Subaru coolant which is a bit finnicky. Maybe if I flush ou...

I have coolant leaking from gasket:

I'm putting in a ej22 engine hopefully very soon, does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop or slow the leak till I get the new engine in?

Did you use genuine filters or aftermarket? Genuine are always better

I don't know about the older AWD Subies like the Vortex, but the Forester, Lib/OB, etc has: manual: viscous centre diff 40/60 - 60/40 fr/rr auto: MPT pack centre 90/10 - 50/50 fr/rr The manual is constantly varying torque, the auto only varies when the front loses grip. I'm not so sure how the bette...

Unfortunately we didnt run into you while we were up at Dargo. Would have been nice to catch up...

Wanted: a low km EJ22 phase II engine in good condition. I can do timing belt if needed but would be a bonus if done.

PM me if you have one or know someone who does...

Thats a bugger! I think the SG box is the way to go though.

Finally, SubaXtreme are ditching their useless cast alloy sump guard and using plate alloy. Took waaay too long!

Damn! Wonder how you bent the driveshafts...too much H6 torque perhaps :p

Very glad you got it sorted & wasnt that lovely KAAZ diff!

I love the for sale sign on it

AndrewT, yours could be the tailshaft centre bearing. Mine had that at certain speeds, esp around 80-100kmh. It got worse when I put my first lift kit in. I noticed the tailshaft wasn't straight at the bearing so I shortened the blocks by 10mm. Still there but better. Mine also has that "ping" as th...

Turn that frown upside down! hahaha

I would build an SG box, stronger gears, much nicer syncro, better all round!

Are you getting your gearbox rebuilt?

Yep, its hard to find a decent, honest mechanic but once you do stick with them, they'll save you heaps of $$$

Hope you used genuine boots...

Yep, sure do. SF & SG Foz need different blocks for the front as the bolts are at a different angle but the rears are interchangeable. Struts top spacers are $350/set incl new HT ZP locking nuts/bolts and rear trailing arm blocks are $90 incl new HT ZP bolts. All parts are precision laser cut for ea...

Just realised I haven't done a thread on the lift kits I make, so.... Lifting your Foz doesn't just give more clearance so you can do harder tracks, it also keeps you further away from rocks, etc so you're less likely to damage underneath. No-one wants damage lol :cry: There's a few options to lift ...

Put in these bad boys, Hella Supertones, hella loud

Dont worry, the redback will keep the other spiders away
