When I was looking for an FD there nobody was complying them in Vic. You had to go to QLD or NSW for compliance. Don't know if that's changed recently, so I bought a 34 GT-T instead (still in Japan.)

So yeah, if you want to import one you might need to get it complied interstate. Too much of a hassle.

Edit:

Yup, that's still the case.

Just checked the RAWS site.

Compliance available in NSW and WA only.

HRmmmmmmm, ive gotten some offers for complience down here in melb from a complience company who want to add the rx7 to their list of compliced cars and they wont charge me...so complience is for free. sounds good but dunno if ill give it the go till i see wats actually gonna happen

Do note that even if they do compliance work for free, it will take a gd month or two, as paper work will take ages.

Then an engineer as to inspect each modifications done for it to meet the standards. Then the paper work will be sent out backwards and forwards.

So if you are willing to wait that long then go ahead. Just something to think about i guess..

^^ this is because they have never done it before. So it would take a lot longer than normal skylines etc etc.

Also now looking after one is going to be much more expensive than a 34.

So why dont you see to many around?? well price firstly!! secondly parts are not cheap!!!

you are still in school dude.. Are you sure you will be able to afford it.

Not questioning your money status here. Just saying, after finishing school, some of your interests will change. You might go on holidays..

Actually i will stop here and let you think about it a bit more.

Dont jump and buy out a 50k car!!

all the best.

if its gonna take that long i proberly wont even bother , atm i just want my car back. i cant really think of any cars apart froma 34 or a FD....everyone seems to tell me its gonna be real hard to maintain a FD....which kinda makes me want to own one even more. my whole life ive wanted things that no one has...i guess its just gotten even bigger.

thinking about it logically a 34 is already good enough....so i might just stay with it.

Edit: Get off your red p's before you buy another 'Fast' car..

N get some driving experience...

Im not saying that we all are perfect.

Im saying get off your Red ps atleast.. that is all..

gdluck

its gonna take me 3 years to get off my Ps mate....i cant wait that long lol

mates keep telling me to go to some advance driving courses...but i dunno.....i guess its fun and all but i just never get around to makn the arrangements.

YE GTA in the city spencer st sells rx7 but be cerful when doing buissines with them..

Hrmmm...havnt herd of em but thanks for the heads up, although i think ill stick with a 34 for now.....

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
