its all sitting in the corner of my shed.

no lines cut, the whole thing, come and take it away if you want it.

only problem is if it dont fit then you have a big pile of sht in your shed to get rid of.

are ya feelin lucky?

Went for a nice drive out of town to test out the new radiator.

Success! Overheating issue solved ==)

Now just to find the rattle/knocking at 120kmph... :wacko:

Private Roads... Gotta love 'em!!! :ninja:

So what Radiator did you end up getting? What coolant you using? Did the fan shroud fit? Thermo sensor? Still using the Clutch Fan?

Check for Stray current that may cause your radiator to eat itself in less than a month? So many questions... :laugh:

I got a 42mm chinese ebay one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190700402072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

fit straight in perfect. stock fan, shroud and sensor no problems. didn't check for current (forgot)

Using Tectaloy 50/50 premix with glycol (or whatever it is. i'm tired and cant be bothered to think, lol)

Gave the pod filter a good clean. DAMN that thing was filthy!!!! and made a new bracket. to hold it in place nicely..

Now just waiting for boost gauge to start next step =)

I think the only issue that would arise would be capturing other people's info like car, rego. Privacy Act is a touch and go thing in AUS. Hence why when cops pull you over with recording devices they say that they are recording you as a pre warning.

Are they allowed for insurance reasons, if given the police officer in question asks about it? Not real sure how to avoid other people's privacy but given it's a public place, recording and taking photos is allowed generally.

Record everything and let the courts worry about it

This.

Also yeah Jeremy I'd think being in public, you're right that there's very little 'privacy' against photos etc...

A myth/rumour I'd like to know the truth behind though, is the one I always hear about it being illegal to record conversations with police officers (sound or video) when you're pulled over for example - even if you advise them you're recording. Anyone know the go with this?

From my understanding and not sure against Feds but, you have to advise whether or not you are recording video/sound (or not). The police officer will then request for you to either turn it off (Which you have to) or he will acknowldge and proceed with defecting you :P

Anyone have any cop m8's? My m8 has a cop friend. Might get him to ask him. Also, becareful, you can be arrested for not having more then $5 on you at all times (True law - but not policed :P) Infact, a guy in Melbourne got recently questioned for not having any money on him - mind you he lost his wallet.

Funny laws.

    • 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.
