this is ridiculous!!!
I'm curious to see what's all involved with making the RHD wipers work. And also how you're going to approach the firewall swap. keep up the good work! |

the shape is the same on both sides, but the holes are not.
you need to mount the master cyl, clutch master, run the steering column, heater core in/out, wiring, etc on the opposite side. You could maybe get away with cutting/drilling new holes for the stuff that needs it, but you'd be left with uncovered holes where the brake master & steering column used to go. this is why you usually see people weld in patches from the RHD car in place that already have the holes & mounting locations |

ok, so how do you mount the brake master cyl, the clutch master, and the steering column?
and what do you do with the holes that are left on the left hand side? |

I plan to do a fire wall cut and weld. the panels are the same shape for both RHD and LHD its the hole pattern that is different. The heater core holes remain the same the issue is the support of the firewall where the pedals bolt to. it needs to be moved from left to Right to fit the heater core properly. I haven't pulled the motor yet but when i do i will make sure to post comparison pictures for others reference. This site is full of knowledge if you search you will find almost any answer you can imagine.

Update 12/2/2012
Clipped stripped to pedal box question more for the hardcore JDM guys what the hell is this little sensor thingy on the dash piece closest to the windshield? in context of location good note my box from Japan came in with my JDM goodies the Genome gauges are missing the sensors but i heard they are standard for defi across the board. Can anyone verify or point in the direction to score them? Thanks everyone |

IIRC that is a "sun sensor" what it does (aside from the obvious sensing of sun) no ****ing clue.
Anyway, Genome gauges, gahhhhhhhhh. Standard Defi bits. |

I believe that is the sun load sensor for the auto climate control.

So just put the studs back in the other car the same way, treat them as bolts now.
The driveshaft bolts are 8mm. |

Update 12/11/2012
put the rear subframe back in with the new pink bars and trailing arms. moved my attention to the clip in hopes of pulling the motor then a few more questions for you all. Does this turbo look ok? there is no play up or down or side to side? i found this sticker on the timing case. does this mean the timing belt was done at this mileage or is this when it when removing the intake manifold the wonderful peeling paint chips fell into the heads is it safe to use a shop vac to suck them out? Thanks |

Shop vac will be fine.
No clue on the sticker, I would replace the belt anyway to be safe. Quote:

Well, my friend, looks like we're both doing the same swap around the same time =) I just left Japan after 5 years and could not part with my Version 6 Type R. So I did what any hard core Subie gearhead would do, I stripped it and shipped it back stateside in pieces. Parts wise, I think we're about the same other than I cut the firewall just ahead of the shock towers. I have all the important stuff from the front of the car. I only left half of the bare shell in Japan.
All of my goodies arrived two weeks ago. Just about everything survived with only a couple minor scratches. If you want to check out my car, I'm on the "other board", same nick as here. My donor is a 98' 2.2 "L" coupe. I didn't want a sunroof as the Type R was never offered with one so the RS was not an option. My Version 6 was Blue Ridge Pearl, however I am changing it over to Steel Blue Mica (only offered on the Version 5). I'd be interested in swapping notes with you. Couple things I've noticed and you've probably figured out by now... The firewall is the same however there is a secondary skin on the inside that is RHD specific. You can drill out the spot welds on the donor and on your USDM chassis and fit the RHD specific skin. That way you're not disturbing the integrity of the OEM firewall. As for the extra holes, I'm going to MIG new sheetmetal behind the holes than use body filler on the engine bay side to smooth the firewall. You'll need to drill out the spots for the main dash support. I think it has 4 or so spots and weld that on to your USDM chassis. As for the wipers, you'll need to swap the center wiper support over to the left of center (referenced from the driver's seat). It can be done but it's going to suck. I pulled mine apart and I've owned it for the last 4 years or so. I know most of this car, so if you have any questions, I can try to help you. I also have the Subaru FAST software if you need part numbers. It's in Japanese but I can show you how to navigate it. It's a great resource as you can usually supply your JDM part number to subaruparts.com and they can order what you need. Drop me a PM with an E-mail address and I'll shoot the software your way. I'm excited to find another GC guy as nutty as me =) Ryan P.S. The timing belt sticker comes with every new T-belt (in Japan). Yours means: Timing belt changed at 72,476 km on February 28th of Heisei 20 (2008). |
