respect for the work put in so far man, love to see it when its finished :) and satin black maybe not matte? matte black sometimes has that idea attached that people dont want you to look to closely if you know what i mean.. after youve put all this work in be proud of it and paint it a bit more stand out colour than matte black imo. i mean as people said itd look fkn tough as nails stealth fighter in matte black but yeah, my 2cents.

Not to much to update with just got a very rough base coat on the passenger side done so i have some sort of idea of what it will look when im out on the track. but as normal ive been to busy with work and my new $100 work hack lol.

Nice work!

I just stumbled on this thread.

I done this conversion to my GTR a bout 2 years back. Definately hard to get right but well worth it in the end.

Its currently off the road getting a new clutch and some more engine work.. and was about to respray it Satin black but it seems everyone is doing it LOL.

Got my hands on a drivers side headlight for $160 all i need is one more lol. And after watching my mates cefiro over heating like a bitch at a SD pratice day at QR i bought myself a 52mm dual core alloy radiator with twin thermos and a shroud, it only needed a slight move of the power steering lines to make it all fit plus i don't have any air conditioning any more which helped with fitting alot.

Funny you say that, one bloke had 2 xeon driver side headlights up for sale the other week on ebay, I brought one and I think james got the other one, lol. Unfortunetly ive now ended up with a drivers xeon and a passenger non xeon, so one has to go.

looks good mate, did you find the you had to remove some metal to get the headlight to fit in?

heres mine atm (getting new bonnet this week)

I found i had to enlarge the original hole for the headlight towards the guard by about 3inches maybe a bit more

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
