Is the current 2005-2006 Subaru Legacy still use the same BE5 chassis? I noticed the one listed on the first page lists it for 2000+ as being BE5... I'm just curious...

The current legacy is BP...

and in the original post, all of the subarus are a little messed up.

The older impreza aren't allGC8- they're GC (sedan), GG(wagon) and GM(coupe non-turbo). 8 designates the engine in the wrx, the EJ20 dohc turbo.

the newer impreza isn't GSA, it's GD for all sedans, GF for all wagons, and depending on the engine and trim level can be GD6 (6designating the 2.5l sohc non-turbo), GDA or GDB.

forester are SF(older) and SG(newer)

basically, subaru chassis are named with two letters- the other numbers are simply trim levels or engine specifics.

so unless it's a WRX, it's not a GC8.




people get way too tied up in technicalities but the reason there's so much drama is because of misleading information like in this thread. a good place to go for easy reference is JapanParts.com- they list cars by chassis code and are more accurate than any other resource i've found.

Hmmm... This is interesting... All i need is a ver 5 or 6 swap...

So wait... Wouldn't this make the Subaru Impreza that Bunta drives a GM8, not a GC8? Or is that WRX coupes are also listed as GC8?

yes, WRX coupes are oddly listed as GC8... the reason i listed GM as 'coupe non-turbo'

however i'm pretty sure the only wrx coupes are sti type r's, which are an incredibly specialized trim level anyway. check here, maybe you'll see something i don't.

i'm going to add the disclaimer that i've never been overseas and have never seen the VIN for a 2-door wrx, but this is what i've heard.

Hey, the 360 chassis code has to be in here!

...K111.

You got missed some of the supras.

*Means Japan only

1986.5 - 1988 (1992 in america) MA70 (M = Motor Series at the time when the 7MG(T)E was being used, A70 = Chassis Code)

*1986.5 - 1992 GA70 (G = Motor Series at the time when an optional motor was offered the 1GG(T)E a 2.0L Inline 6, A70 = Chassis Code

*1990 - 1992 JZA70 (JZ = Motor Series when the 1JZG(T)E replaced the 7M series the 1JZ was a 2.5L Inline 6, 500cc smaller then the 2JZ, A70 = Chassis Code)

1982 - 1986 Celica Supra MA60 (M = Motor Series at the time when the 5MGE and the 6MGE were being used, A60 = Chassis Code)

In Japan the Celica Supra went under the Celica 2800XX but the chassis code should still remain the same.

*the 6MGE motor never made it stateside

I drive a MA70

Instead of adding all these in everytime someone adds a new one just keep them posted on the threads. I didnt make the list i just found the website for the list.

Did someone forget the Toyota Chaser (JZX100)?

mitsubishi starion:
flatbody a183
widebody a187

i've got both

How about a 1991 Nissan Maxima SE? I feel like looking for another Maxima of this type.

Maxima is something like G31 or G33...

Heres the info for the 91 Maxima

Make Model Year Range Chassis Engine

Nissan Maxima 3.0 SOHC GXE 1989 - 1994 J30 VG30E
Nissan Maxima 3.0 SOHC SE 1989 - 1991 J30 VG30E
Nissan Maxima 3.0 DOHC SE 1992 - 1994 J30 VE30DE

All in the Japanese system so it uses PS instead of HP, etc

I'm wandering something if toyota levin and toyota trueno are same (especially in chassis)like ae 86
I saw on magazine in indonesia...

Other than the headlights and tail lights, they're pretty much identical to each other.

so whats the chassis code for these cars then.
Subaru SVX
and the
77 pontiac Trans am.

1971 Celica RA20
1972-74 Celica RA21
1975-77 Celica RA22/24
1978-81 Celica RA40 (78-79 20R engine 80-81 22R)
1982-85 Celica ST and GT RA64 (solid rear axle)
1992-85 Celica GT-S RA65 (independent rear suspension)

1977-80 Cressida MX32/34(wagon)
1981-84 Cressida MX63/62(wagon)
1985-88 Cressida MX73/72(wagon)
1989-92 Cressida MX83

1979-80 Supra MA46
1981 Supra MA47
1982-86 Supra MA61
1985.5-92 Supra MA70

I was just wondering where exactly is the chassis code located, because i've been looking and i can't seem to locate it. Might someone be able to give me the general location of where to look?

On the VIN number plate. Which is located in the engine bay, left front corner of the windscreen, or on the doorjam sticker.

The '77 Firebird, and any Firebird for that matter, is classified as an "F-Body" same with the corresponding Camaro.
