Electric assisted power steering for EA81's ?
Datsun guys have done a mod similar to this. It's not small feat. But has been done.

Clueless teenager seeking advice (4WD EA82 rear sus.)
Follow this http://www.mainelysubarus.com/forums/topic/9593-pictorial-wheel-bearing-guide-ea-loyale-4wd-rear/ My buddy actually did the exact same thing - but he was dicking around in the ice the day we finished HGs. We actually had to buy a new arm from Subaru. It was almost $250, IIRC. I don't remember how long it took. This was a couple years ago. And we didn't have any power tools. Maybe a couple hours? It's very diy.

FIXED! Bad Neutral Switch Assembly causing HEAVY engine breaking
Yes that's normal. And it is essentially engine braking. Depress the clutch and put the shifter into neutral if you're just coasting to a stop. The key is doing this simultaneously with the release of your gas pedal. Always try and rev match. They syncos will do most of the work in the inside transmission for shifting. Lessen the shock of shifting by rev match. You can also let off of the pedal slower in between gears. Don't just kick it. Practice makes perfect. You're more than likely not causing any harm to the vehicle long as you're not towing anything heavy.

tire size for 84 wagon or 86 Brat with puget 15 steelies
195/55r15 is almost the same as stock. No idea how they would handle sand, though.

Did anyone snag the XT window louvers out of Redding PnP?
Probably a datsun guy hoping to retrofit them.

Power steering rack rebuild-pressure relief valve?!
Never been inside a GL rack. But unless It's something crazy... Relief valve should be in the pump. How did you install the end seals? Lip facing toward the power piston or tie rods?

EA81 Motor Mounts
They list the trans mount under rear motor mount. There is only a L & R on the motor. You're correct.

Another XT-6 power steering fluid question...Amsoil "Claims" universal and lists it?!?!
I would imagine It's just a cross reference error between the XT and 6. Is the cybrid fluid still available? Just fix leaks and add fluid. I wouldn't risk it. Apparently one person runs ATF. Converted seals? More to read up on the XT forum - don't member exactly.

Which tranny is which?
The dr5 is much shorter and squared off at the tail shaft portion.

BRAT from the dead!
How are the fenders?

Linkage and Governor
Yes that's the governor cap. Only a small amount of fluid will come out upon removal. Small enough you can wipe it up with a rag. Also if cleaning the governor doesn't work I have a couple OEM ones new in the box for sale.

ANOTHER trailer load of NOS parts found in Texas!
So I'll lift some of the suspense here... I went and picked up my lot tonight. Any, and everything, GEN 1 is in SUBARU3's possession. I'll leave it up to him to disclose the contents. Lots of 3rd gen stuff. New set of headlights and wagon tails. Lots of the smaller steel hub caps, etc. I'm tired and working from memory. There are some gen 2 things. Looks like a coupe or sedan trunk lock with oem "SUBARU" black top key - neat. At least one coupe tail light. A couple sedan tails. One hatch tail. The pictured 3rd eye grille with one headlight bezel. Another round headlight bezel.
