Smoke on cold start is bad. A >little< blue smoke probably okay, white smoke not happy (unless it's chilly out, then it'll do it anyway). Make sure you do a compression test, make sure it idles smoothly. If the transmission seems a little loud it's probably okay yet, but disturbingly loud means a rebuild is due. Check for rust under the rear seats and around the hatch opening.

More than that . . . ask on www.nopistons.com or www.rx7club.com :)

Dluded,

why not go ask the people on the rotory forums about the so called 'problems' after all they are owners of the vehicles.

For my 2c the rotory is an excellent engine with great reliabillity based on my long term experience. In the hands of a deadhead they will have problems. If your a deadhead then avoid them, for the sake of their reputation.

R32 GTSTT (Or Friend?): I find it amazing that you are able to predict the capacity of my engine. However, im afraid to disclose that you are incorrect, I don't have a 2L.

rev210: I've got plenty of friends (even buying a Series 4 RX7 for the woman), with Rotors. This guy dosen't do much toward giving rotary drivers a good name.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
