Imported 3.0R - Some rust found - non issue?


MoNk

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Just made a deposit on my first Subaru. I waited a long time for a nice 6spd manual to come up for auction. I am very excited, but a little disappointed at the same time unfortunately.

Does anybody think this rust will be an issue with compliance (or an issue with the car)?

Purchased via IBC Japan. My friend viewed the second inspection sheet via a mobile, and noticed an "NZ INTERNAL" section, which I don't think we were supposed to see. We then pulled the pictures from there...

They have not mentioned these images to me yet. I will have a chat with my account manager if they request full payment without showing me them.

Other than this, the car looks great. It is a 4 rated, interior B. Rating stayed the same after re-inspection.

Really appreciate some advice! :)

We get far worse rust through work when we do compliance. but it still may need to be fixed. the worry is is there worst rust hidden somewhere. it look to be from north of japan. I would personally walk as i have had heaps of rusty vehicles through work that have turned to poos

Hi there. Thanks for the comments :).

It's from Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, which is considered a good place to purchase from research.

I have had a few different comments so far. Some are saying it's rusted in very minor places and wouldn't even matter in compliance or day to day.

IBC take some of the deposit if I reject I think. But the other side of the coin is if it doesn't comply at all...

Thanks guys. It is a bit nerve-wracking as I have been waiting for about 5 months to get this, and then see these issues. 6spds are bloody hard to find.

I'll update if anything else happens (eg IBC deliberately show me these photos...)

Update: There were no problems :). Compliance and WOF done very quickly. Boat arrived Sunday, picked up car Wednesday.

Standard sus bushes to be replaced, which happens to a lot of them when they get here. They'll last, but I shall replace quickly.

Loving the 3.0R. Awesome car!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
