My 22b came with an owners manual translated into english by a company in New Zealand

I believe you can obtain them from this company in Harrogate

Any Japanese speaking/reading scoobynet members out there?

There are a couple of sections in my STi owners manual that i would like translating.

One page is the Centre diff control, i think i have worked it all out but i would like to know for sure what it means as per the book.

The other one is the service interval work. Every Impreza except the STi TypeRA has something changed at 40,000KM but the TypeRA has it changed at 20,000KM, i think i would like to know what that thing is , as no one in the UK has mentioned a specific with regards to TypeRA's having diferent service intervals.

Here are the pages. I am particularly interested in the warnings on the centre diff setting, plus what the 0-100% lock means. Does it mean 0-100% lock of 36/64. I think thats what it means. Also it states something about 20,000Km, is this how often the box fluid should be replaced?

The same for the service interval pages, i am interested in the section that specifically mentions the STi TypeRA.

Thanks
John

I-Club sorted this for me
So this means that when you apply the handbrake the centre diff disconects, This allows handbrake turns.
Dont move the diff control if you are spinning the wheels in a muddy field, stop, lock the diff then start again.
When open the torque split is 36f/64r but can be set to 50/50 or anything in between.
Change the gearbox oil every 12,500 miles!!!!!! How many TypeR/RA owners have done this?

John,

I don't believe it's the gearbox oil they are talking about, rather the diff oil. The gear oil in the limited slip diffs should be changed on an annual basis as well (or even after every track event, especially if you run slicks). It doesn't cost much for the small amount of gear oil used, and shouldn't take too long to change it either.

Thanks for the info Ron.

The front diff is in the gearbox John Someone is translating it in more detail for me on I-club in the next couple of days so hopefully i'll know for sure.

It makes sense the rear needs changing more often also as it's a plated diff and they shed metalic particles with use.

Here you go John this is the info I have on the operation of the Diff. I got this from the Handbook that came with my old Version VI type R. I'm not sure if there is any mention of service requirements in the book so I will check when I have more time later.

Also I noticed that the version V STi type RA came with a 13:1 steering rack as standard when compared to all other Version V Impreza's which came with a 15:1 rack.

superb! thanks.

Yep, mine has the quickrack. There seems to be some debate as to whether some TypeR's had the quickrack or not? I havent seen one personally except for the 22B of course!
