Greetings all,

as the title says, got me self a new ride. my new daily driver. brand new 2009 subaru liberty. and its an auto :rant: (gasp)!!! and i love it to bits.

dont get me wrong i still love my GTR (always will) but now that im working at subaru fountain gate, insted of mentone where i was, im no longer able to sponge a lift to work. this ment driving the R from mt martha to fountain gate and back every day in traffic! i very quickly got over it! so with a bit of thought ive decided to lease a new liberty. i got a killer deal through work and i already knew how good the liberty's are. the other thing was with the promotion i got, came a pay increase :P which is enough to more or less pay the lease payments. so in a round about way, i guess you could say that work has bought me a car :laugh:

i think i love the "Libbo" as much as i love the R, but for completley different reasons. Now my R can sit in the garage waiting for a nice sunny weekend or track day. and i enjoy it even more than i used to because im driving it less. each driving experience is that little bit more special if you like... (sounds pretty sad ay?)

im sure you all know what a liberty looks like but heres a pic anyway...

feel free to pass comment.

cheers,

matty.

Nice one Matty. I met you at the Kamikaze SAUvic membership renewal.

Good choice on the liberty. Practical and fast... sort of :P,

My daily driver is going to be a hot wagon of some sort too. GTRs in stop-start traffic with modified clutches and poor fuel economy = getting tired of actually driving it. Totally agree.

With the amount of money you saved on the liberty you should be able to afford the oil cooler and sump baffle for the R before the suspension/tire mods :laugh:

Well done and congratulations on your new purchase ;) That white is sexy!

I know a few people at Subaru. What do you do there? I assume you're in the 'Melbourne Subaru' chain of dealers?

Mmmmm Subaru fuel additive...can't leave without it...HAHAHA!

Take it easy! Drive safely.

Thought i'd put my 2 cents in here as i'm also relieving my ride of daily duties in favour of the weekender title.

My new daily (toy) will be a motor bike! Pick it up in 7 days!

Can't farken wait!!!!!!!!! It's a Honda RVF400 Red & Black.

Trying to up load pics but i'm being barred!

Oh yeah nice Liberty too by the way! Such nice cars to drive.

thanks guys,

yes we are part of Subaru Melbourne, and im in spare parts. who do you know S2oOo?

i love the satin white, being a pearl colour it really looks awesome in the sun :D

i thought i did pretty good with getting the Libbo, but it looks like ive been upstaged by snowy with his new beast! hmm... i could trade both the R and the Libbo, then i would only have to pay prolli 100 grand or so for an r35... ;)

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
