Subaru with Nissan parts?

[Grendel]

So, working on this 2014 Subaru Outback... and it's all Nissan wiring?

WTF?

Headgasket.

 

[Grendel]

Headgasket.

Already done, with the short block, in 2018.

 

[87manche]

pretty common for the japanese companies to use other japanese companies as subcontractors.

there's even laws about it.

it's japan v the world there.

 

[Ranchtruck]

They've shared suppliers since way back. The r160 rear diff? Same as datsun 510.

 

[Grendel]

I didn't know that Subaru and Nissan did.

Learn something every day.
it's causing issues with the new stereo install... the Maestro is supposed to interface the PCM with the Kenwood head unit and report on items the Subaru doesn't have gauges for.

we did a maestro install on my brother's FJ.
Had to flash the pioneer radio with a specific firmware. IIRC maestro provided it.

Yeah, waiting for them to provide the flash.

What's going to be interesting will be the next project. Maestro into my 68 IH with a 2003 Duramax with CANBUS provided by Dakota Digital.

The salesman at Toyota told me that Yamaha makes all their fuel injection.....

 

[Pukemaggots]

Wait until you find out Lamborghini used Nissan parts.

Go on

Yep Subaru uses Nissan electrics. Check window switches and such. All Nissan branded.

 

[SoylentGreen]

My TJ has a Supra transmission.



Meh. Don't care. Everything breaks anyway.

 

[muddysamurai]

I know that Suzuki Samuai's had a few Mitsubishi electronics/sensors.

And Yamaha makes a good looking engine

 

[Grendel]

Go on

and den?

War Pig Version 12

Something funny... the original War Pig was a bastard - a 1978 Ford F350 4x4 with rot, too much bondo, a shitty drive train and a Chevy square body, LWB bed on it... it got what I had at the time, as I was poor as fawk. It leaked oil, ate starters but was my daily driver in 2000 while I tried to...

Headlights on the Diablo are Z32 300zx headlights. I might be wrong but I think z32s had the first factory projector beam headlights.

 

[KungFooMASTA]

I think I have heard all the Japanese auto makers own shares of each other. All for one, one for all kind of deal.

Saturn suv thing used a Honda V6 drivetrain for a few years. Talk about an odd couple, GM and Honda.

Would be a solid spinoff thread, mfg mix n match vehicles.

Wait until you find out Lamborghini used Nissan parts.

And Volvo parts

 

[Tooheysmax]

And Volvo parts

And IIRC Toyota and Mazda and Nissan were using Mitsubishi blocks in the 80’s and Subaru is basically Fuji yea the camera company’s heavy equipment division

 

[TrikeKid]

Wait until you find out Lamborghini used Nissan parts.

Maserati and Ferrari using Chrysler stuff is even worse.

 

[Ebs]

Chrysler using Chrysler parts is bad enough.

 

[Brecklin]

I'm using a Subaru IAC on the Suzuki engine in my snowmobile. 😁

 

[TrikeKid]

Chrysler using Chrysler parts is bad enough.

I mean it's nothing serious, just the engine block and some of the timing drive parts!

You've not heard of the Saabarus then?
