  1. Subaru and Nissan don't share a parent company and never did. Nissan used to own a majority share in Fuji H.I. just like GM did until recently. But to answer your question, early Z cars and early 510s used R160 rear differentials. I know there are more, but these are the only ones I know of for sure. Our differentials are an upgrade to the original Nissan ones because ours have LSDs.
  2. Once I get a pair of the rear stubs, I'll be doing the RWD conversion this spring.
  3. Is it a lifted hatchback? I've seen one parked near campus, but never seen it driving.
  4. Austin, how many bolts are holding that push bar on? In your picture on page four it looks as if it is bolted only to the factory tie-down loops.
  5. Sorry, I don't have a vehicle with a carb in Bellingham so I can't help you there. You might have to bust out the yellow pages for this one.
  6. Are your fuel injectors opening? If they're not operating, then your car won't run.
  7. Hope to see pics of another lifted hatch soon!
  8. I would check the throttle cable for fraying. I remember that after I reinstalled my engine I also had to replace the throttle cable. If it has to make any tight bends it can wear out.
  9. 1984 Wagon - Shiny Maroon 17 (brown interior) 1983 Wagon - Moss Green (brown interior) 1981 Hatch - Brown (extra light brown interior) 1982 Brat - Light Blue (blue interior) 1985 Hatch - White (blue interior) 2002 WRX - WR Blue Pearl (black interior) Two blue ones, but only one really counts. Heres a green EA81:
  10. Good deal Ross! Glad to hear theres another turbo running around. Keep up the good work and lets seem some pics of that engine installed! By the way, were EA81Ts officially imported to NZ?
  11. Heres my contribution: 1984 Turbo wagon, not stock and getting further from it everyday!
  12. Heres what I have to offer picture wise: Thats all I can seem to fit in my album (Did they suddenly get smaller?). You can't see it in this picture, but the motor is right behind the bumper and operates a rod that opens the door for the 3rd eye. Check to see that the rod isn't catching on anything thru its range of motion.
  13. That isn't the fuel filter. The filter is behind the driver's side strut tower, near the windsheild wiper motor, like Turbone mentioned. If you do end up doing that, keep me in mind for the turbo motor! A spare couldn't hurt!
  14. Awesome, thats basically what I want to do to mine, VF-11, intercooler, exhaust, etc. Hoping for at least 175hp at the wheels when all is said and done.
  15. Pics would help a whole lot. I cant think of any metal can the fuel goes into...
  16. Ross, those pictures of your car are SICK!!! I wish we had the EA81 touring wagons in the US. What have you done to your wagon? Our cars are like twins across the Pacific! Keep us updated on your progress. EA81Ts FOR LIFE!!!
  17. You Sir, are an insperation to us all!
  18. Don't know the weight, but the brat uses different side window glass than the hatch or coupe.
  19. Good luck, I tried finding all the turbo coolant hoses and they sent me packing at Chaplin's. I don't think there are any parts like that left. I ended up making my own hoses for the turbo lines.
  20. Just saw another one today in Bellingham. It was parked a few stalls away from my t wagon and was the same color to boot!
  21. You're gonna need the front crossmember to clear the up pipe of the stock crossover pipe. The turbo cars also have a lower, stiffer suspension if your into a street turbo. The wiring is going to be toughest part.
  22. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't T-coupes only made in 84?
  23. Google search, there are TONS of LSDs avalible, not so many lockers, in fact I don't think anyone makes a locker.
