I like the new subies... Then again I liked the Mazda GTR, Escort, and other hatchback rally cars from yesteryear.

Thats 2 of us, though I will admit I didnt like them at first but now they've grown on me.

However performance wise, Top Gear has written them off to the evo

My mate has a Subaru Impreza MY05 and had to get it serviced. When we headed down to the Subaru Repair shop, he encountered a problem and had to leave his car there, since they had no spare rentals etc one of the ladies decided to give us boys a lift home in her new WRX STi Hatch.

While we were driving she mentioned the fact that the MY09 Subaru's will feature a Sedan model that will only come in WRX and Impreza models but the STi model will be retained by the likes of the MY08 Hatch as it currently is the case.

Personally after hearing this and getting excited for Subaru again, after seeing the pictures of it, those thoughts of relief for Subaru went down the toilet.

As for the new EVO X and upcomming XI and 2009 lancers they look great, they are heading in a decent direction, as designers, the flat panel style we are used to is definately dead, just take a look at the new VE's, the GTR, everything is getting rounder etc.

The new sedan WRX looks SHIT!!!!! It's so terrible i dont know anyone who will personally take a liking to it. As for the Impreza model MY09 sedans they don't look so bad...the scoop and front grille on the Rex sedans look awful (for MY09's). I think after seeing the sedans i have grown alot fonder of the Hatches lol. Heres a pic from the Subaru site itself:

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
