Gents,

How's it going?

Just picked this up...1992 Subaru Liberty RS Wagon manual

Will post some pics when I collect it tomorrow. Has anyone had any experience with these cars?

Solid as a rock, I need to get a new front seat, steering wheel and gear knob. Just general wear and tare.

haha get watchin mighty car mods for inspiration mate!

Don't watch MCM unless you want your car to be worse than it currently is, those guys have no clue...

Is that a Jap plate on the windscreen? Fresh import?

sorry gents,

here is the actual car...

AUS delivered car...

Needs a fair bit of work.

car has done 330,000kms.

I need help to find the following.

New gear knob

New steering wheel

New front seats, will a later model liberty seats fit?

Looks good, it's a turbo wagon so you gotta love that. I was just interested in seeing the Japanese plates behind the windsceen because it looks like my area of Tokyo but they are usually Shinagawa plated as I don't think there is a rego place closer than that. It was hard to make out from the picture though hence the request for a better picture.

Engine runs really sweet.

Probably going to need a new clutch, needs new brakes as well.

In regards to the steering wheel, any aftermarket wheel will fit on as it's got a factory momo boss kit, in regards to the seats, my brother has an RS Legacy (yes a Legacy, they're only called Liberty's here) sedan, and has version 6 WRX seats, the rails from your factory seats bolt on to the newer seats with no modification. Is the car a manual? Just get any aftermarket knob off eBay?

Thank you!!!

Yes, car is a 5 speed manual! :yes:

RS legacy... fairly rare right? I'll look for some of those seats.

Gents,

Can someone please tell me if these seats fit my car?/

Yeah they're rare as hens teeth in Aus, only seen one here, my brother lives in NZ, and they were widely imported over there..

In regards to those seats, not positive that they would bolt directly in, however the rails are easily removed and swapped.. Funnily enough I parted out an 89 GT wagon a few years ago, had full options and electric leather seats, only got $100 for the seats! ( in NZ tho )

Hope that helps

Great cars, just be careful with the "glass" gearbox. Has a rep for being very fragile and unable to handle the all wheel drive grip with some lead footed driving (as MCM Marty found out)

Update on the car...

Getting new brakes, new clutch and have just found a steering wheel to suit.

Overall the car has been really well maintained in terms of engine and so on, the seller sent me all the service history.

Outside the car is not so good, has a mark on every panel pretty much, I'm going to paint the roof one of the following colors, black, white or silver.
What do you guys reckon?

A good cut and polish will fix most of the scratches.

I just need to find out whether the seats on ebay will fit my car.
Seats are from a 1998 Subaru Liberty... any help appreciated.

Cheers

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
