i sold it, it go bye bye probally wont do another subaru for a while, going for a cherokee so i can move my fiance this summer, need something that'll take Arizona/New Mexico/Texas summer heat (oi long drive). heres an interesting fact, insurance on a Datsun Z car is less than a turbo 90 Loyale with FT4WD

hmm well the lines and everything seem good so mabe it is just slosh

i think its ATF, short story is when the car isnt quite warmed up it leaves little trails behind. i still need to do the valve cover but i dont think it would leave little trails like that. the transmission is getting low on ATF every now and again, takes about 3k miles before any noticable level change but i cant find where its leaking any atf. the PCV system is cleared and workin right including that one vent line that goes to the top of the transmission, are there other vents though? i thought there were. ideas? 4EAT trans oh one time it burped a bit of atf in the driveway but we again still could not find where it came from

i average 25 in town most of the time, FT4WD, Ea82t. its been less becuase i have been hauling a bunch of fat people around -
well with out changing the frame like that, which is a very holl billy thing to do here, you could probally figure out a way to swap to a solid axle with out modifying too much. since nissan/datsun share alot with subaru i'd suggest a H190 rear end or a Pathfinder rear end, both are solid, H190 is LSD out of a early 200SX, theres a LSD for the Pathfinder but i am not sure on the numbering on those

do you really need this though? i notice this trans seems to do pretty well at deciding where power needs to go where, when. better than most

Snow...... and busted stuff :)
Niku-Sama replied to zyewdall's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
snow already holy crap, i need to fix stuff and sell mine to the hippies quick! -
how the hell? those things are pretty stout, i wonder if some jack rump roast was prying them off with something from behind.

Which LSD to use - can they be tested?

'90 Loyale AWD Turbo Wagon
Niku-Sama replied to thecryoflove's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
what problems are you having with the axles? are they getting clicky? about the turbo, i wouldnt say they are problematic, they are about 20 years old, they've dont a butt load of miles generally and things cant last for ever. that being said, i have same car, same setup and my turbo isnt giving me anyy problems. there was a little bit of oil in the intake last time i had it apart but the PCV system wasnt working right so it could be from that but its possible after 188k miles that the seal in the turbo is worn. that being said i dont notice much difference in power, mabe its because its turning 4 wheels all the time but it doesent seem to have any more power than any other loyale/gl that i have driven -
just try a few pressure sending units from the junk yard. if you got a replacment pump i am guessing you got a replacment sending unit, i bet its one thats about 3 times bigger than OEM, they fail real easy. alsmot as if they get accustomed to a certian pressure and/or flow and when you do something or fix something to get better flow/pressure it cant handle it and dies
-
you might just do the valve cover thats leaking any way, mine had a similar problem with the bolts but its still leaking from the one side that was loose after i have tightened everything up. infact its getting worse and it makes my car look like its on fire when i am sitting at a light.

What's wrong with Fram oil filters??
Niku-Sama replied to TheLoyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
hand tight? too tight, lubed gasket before installing. its basicly spun on till it meets up and tightened up by hand by about an 8th of a turn. wix are the only ones that do this, the ************ rump roast wally world filter that i got as a spare with a car didnt
