Cheers Kostamojen. I dug up my 72-75 parts book that I forgot I had, and emailed a few numbers off to a dealer here. Apparently all I sent to him was NLA out of Subaru Japan. I will send him that part# you gave me now. Thanks mate.

Most certainly yes.

Ah of course, the bushes on the crossmember end look fairly new on mine (red nolathane looking), so I hadn't planning on touching them untill later perhaps unless they were readily available. I just remembered something though about the steering rag joint, about 12 months ago when I noticed it failing I pulled the rag joint out of my '81 Brumby assuming it would be the same, The ragjoint in the GSR was roughly 5mm or so smaller diameter. So I'm not too sure there anymore. Cheers for your help.

That definitely will be useful, 'Autoline' in Tauranga claim that no rag joint matches the sizing of the one I removed. I shall make some more phone calls.... I'm not sure if I quite get what bushes you mean by transverse link? Cheers, John

I'm also interested to know about what people are doing for shocks too. I thought the fronts were shocks with replaceable cartridges inside. But alas it looks otherwise now I've looked closer.

Looks awesome, very period correct.

Hey guys, I'm trying to track down suspension bushes for the GSR currently, and am not having much luck. There are no listings here in NZ, and the bushes don't match anything in any catalouges size-wise apparently. Looks like I may have to get them custom made, which I'm not so keen on (read-pricey) The bushes I desperately need are steering rack mount bushes and the rag joint between the steering colomn, but if anyone knows of a supplier with a good price I'll be getting basically everything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much John B

Looking pretty good, wish they'd focused more on what became of his sweet sweet ride instead of where the guy buggered off to. :-p

Must be exciting man, Its looking slick!

You've been PM'd!

Hey there Ross, I'm probably interested, what would they be worth to you? I just bought a washing machine, damnit!

I hear you there. I picked up these a few months ago I think they are two piece, So might be handy for fitting some AWESOMELY wide bands. They're 14's also. Haven't had a chance to fit them to anything yet as both my Subaru are parked up at the moment.

Yeah, nah, yeah. Have tentatively agreed to sell brumble bee at a fair price to a local polytech as an example vehicle to work on, on the basis that it goes. Super super super broke right now so last in, first out. Its the most common/buggered too.

Correct, one turbo 13B I believe.

What do you all think about this? Personally I think good on them, rather they did that to it than let it rust with no use at all. http://therustinthewind.com/wordpress/ And it looks like fun.

I bid up till about 600, but I can't justify owning 6 rusty cars.

Hmm, I'm not sure, If it stays at this price I may as well try and buy it. But I doubt it will.

I'd like to get it but I cannot justify another unusable car. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=248753609

Awesome pair! Tailgate wagon is the business!

Looking very swish! I'm so impressed/happy with the speed you're getting through it, good on ya mate.

Over here 4wd EA81s got a standard belt driven fan

Just to kill my curiousity, how exactly does the G8 vary from our Commy bastard? Aside from the obvious LHD/RHD thing. What kind of specs is the G8 available with?
