Hey people, I can get hold of a mint RX4 coupe for a great price. I am thinking of putting off fixing the line's gearbox and clutch and picking this thing up. It comes in excellent original condition. All orig interior {showroom condition black} series 5 motor, white paint and no rust what so ever{work all done already} and spare everything. Now when I say spare everything I mean everything. ie

5 x spare right and left guards {brand new}

5 x spare bonnet {new}

2 x spare door skins left and right {new }

5 x spare dash { not sure on condition}

5 x grill front

drag way rims on car and brand new set

2 x spare wind screen

spare motor {i think orig motor}

spare complete exhaust

Now if I was to buy this car, I would offload 3 of the spare 5 guards etc etc

Can any body tell me what these parts are worth and does anyone know of anyone that would be interested in buying these parts leaving me a spare set of everything else. It's to good to say no to :(

I HAVE 3 WEEKS TO DECIDE BEFORE HE PUTS IT ON THE MARKET

Now I know its not a skyline but I thought a few of you people might know some ROTOR people and any help or comments would be appreciated :)

If its all ORIGINAL then it's definatly worth the money!! BUT it would be something to only drive a couple of times a year and also something to keep FOREVER! i'd say if its as original at it is then do it......... It wont loose value, Hey the longer you keep it it could gain in value!

Like Deluxe said!!! If its as minta as you say it is buy it!! Original unmolested root-rs are getting hard as to find these days, specially the old school, even the modified ones are getting hard to find!!

I say put the skyline on hold for a while longer and get this!!!! Keep the spares though, you just never know, in a couple of years what they'll be worth/if you'll need them!!!

I have been checking out the rotary forums and this stuff is just not available.

Speaking to mazda wrecker's , they have said to me that these spare's are to hard to obtain these day's and cost a fortune , ie doors for $900 each.

The wife seem's okay with the purchase to but this will have me with 4 car's to rego and insure{single wage}

Other than the extra ins and reg expense, I hate to think what my neighbour's will think. My gtr is pretty loud with the 3 1/2" sytem{dump pipes back to muffler} and carbon fibre cannon 4' muffler, so to have a RX4 coupe going bwap bwap bwap etc , I think it will make me the most hated guy on the block. LOL.

I started up the gtr yesterday to move some fluid in it {oil} etc and the look on the neighbour's face's was :) {not that fu*#en thing again} .

O well , appreciate the comment's people [any more welcome]

thank's

michael :rant:

Yeah if it is an original rx4 it sounds like a great buy, however I would probably hold off on selling your spares (maybe wait a few more years at least, just keep them stored).

You really want to find out if the spare engine is the original, because nothing is better than a classic car having matching engine / chassis numbers!

How much are you getting this for (if you want to keep it to yourself for now, thats fair enough)?

Dude seriously buy this thing............ BUT please dont drive it on a daily basis, and leave it locked up, because it will prob become the most expensive car you own in time to come! Like i said before anything old school rotary that is original is becoming very very rare!

Guys, it's got a non original engine and the bodywork has been done already if you read the first post, so while it will be a nice car, it's not going to be some collector's item that he shouldn't drive.

Sounds like the spares will be worth a fair bit though, so after offloading some of them you could be left with quite a cheap car.

Is it really worth having your R off the road for any longer though?

The only person that can answer that one is you.

Seen the car in the flesh today and was a little disappointed. :( Running and all that but no trim{chrome parts} on the car because as the owner said , no point in putting them back on because he was going to respray it himself. I had hoped to get in and drive away. All the spares are there though. More of a project car than a reliable streeter. By the way, has riggy 167,000 km's on the clock . Was offering him $1000 less than what he was asking for it to make it a bit more attractive to my wife. :no: MMM see what happens

catch is ,getting bug for that bwap bwap bwap noise.

nice example of rx4 coupe in queensland that ive seen and rx3 coupe for sale here in sa LOL

let you know what happens. bwap bwap bwap.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
