Finally have mine on order.

Massive fark around due to retard I handed my content to not putting in the system I had handed them in.

But, it's all fixed now.

Have read about a few people having stuff arounds with the ordering process... which design did you end up going for?

Mine wasn't due to the plate, it was purely due to previously surrendered content that they didn't process properly.

Got the classic.
Looks the best.

Far out I deliberated over which style...ultimately settled on the "JDM plate" - the writing at the bottom just looked better balanced to me!

After deciding I wasn't going to order I caved in and ordered at 11:55pm 5 mins before the discount ended, I went with the "JDM plate" also as I thought it looked cleaner with the writing at the bottom but I think they both look great it was a tough choice.

 

The issue we are going to have is the pre pressed mounting holes are too high up, they will bolt up but they need to be about 2cm lower on the plate to fit the rear bracket of the 32 at least. They should of sent them out blank so we could drill ourselves, will play around with it when they come anyway.

Yeah - I'm not happy with the front yet. Going to get a bit of aluminium to mount to the factory mount and lift up a bit - trying not to drill holes in the plate itself


I had no option but to drill a hole in each top corner of the plate to mount it in the same spot where the previous plate was if not it was going to face downwards [emoji22]d6a540d82e15b5a9cee803b886e7c9e7.jpg

the back looks ok but I'd still be re drilling the holes on the rear to mount them up a bit higher to fit the bracket. But damn that looks bad on the front :( I have a white 32 also and ordered the same style as you, tried to cancel my order but they wouldn't let me so not sure what to do now.

    • 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.
