Damn this thread is old. One of my first :D Anyway, what I realize now is that what we were talking about was the applied model code, and not the vin. The first char is the model line. A = Loyale, B = Legacy, C = SVX, G = Impreza, K = Justy, S = Forester, W = Tribeca. I'm sure the other chassis hav...

Re: ABS brake bleeding

This probably isn't good practice, but when I change brake fluid, I usually just take off the lines to the calipers and let the whole system gravity-drain. It takes a bit of work to bleed the system after that, but it works for me. However, I've only done this on cars with no ABS. I really, really,...

Replies: 3

They're different. KYB has tons of different struts for markets aside from the US, so we don't see stuff like that. We only have three struts, one is a stock replacement as is on Josh's truck, one is a very slightly stiffer replacement (GR-2), and one is an adjustable (AGX). Well there are a few mo...

Isn't the O2 sensor only operates in closed-loop mode (idling / light load)? Without the O2 sensor your car's probably already running at its richest possible. As I know the O2 sensor has an output of 0-1V in which 0.5V indicates a 14.7:1 stoichiometric AFR. Anything below that means the car's runni...

It might sounds something stupid, but did you check the fuses in the fuse box? If they're all fine you might want to try to hot-wire the fuel pump and see if it's still working or not......

KYB Excel-G vs KYB GR2, what's the difference?

Are they the same stuff (just different names for different markets) or totally different? Couldn't find GR2 on KYB Aus Catalog and vice versa. Any idea?

PS: Excel-G was previously called Super-G which is basically a monotube non-adjustable nitrogen gas shock from KYB.

You don't want to take the flappers off.....you'll have a higher chance of water and gunk getting in the cabin/trunk. Yeh the flaps are there for some reasons. I guess I have to make sure exhaust gas doesn't come in there. Carbon Monoxide asphyxiation can really ruin your day. Exhaust gas basically...

The vent are there to prevent pressure build-up in cabin and let fresh air get in when you activate the fresh air vent in front.

Thanks for your warm Aussie style welcome. In fact I'm not an Australian - I'm actually a Honkie guy studying in Australia. I've been here for 6 years now - and that also gives me a little bit of Australian accent.
