Late 1993 (Version II update) FD3S RX-7 Type-R 'Series 6'. Yellow-plate personal import.

Very low kms (around 68k km - I'll post up a pic of the odometer). These are GENUINE kms. Must be amongst the lowest km series 6 in Australia.

I purchased this car in Japan about 5 years ago. It had ~40k km at time of purchase. I have Mazda logs that show the first owner did very few kms in the first seven years of ownership. I drove it in Japan for four years before exporting it to Australia. It has been stored since. I drive it sparingly when I come home (2 or 3 times a year), and it is taken for a short drive every other week (so it doesn't suffer from 'storage rot').

I don't want to sell, but it's wasted on me. It deserves to be driven.

As a yellow-plate personal import it is, according to DOTARS, exempt from ADRs - thus, essentially non-defectable for ADR-related issues. To back this up, I can supply a list of modifications from the freight-forwarder (used for insurance purposes during shipping) - that prove the modifications were in place prior to landing in Australia. Basically, a 'get out of jail free' card, should you ever need it.

Power:

[email protected] (sequential twin turbo)

Weight:

1225kg with a full tank (according to the weighbridge)

OEM/Factory options:

* BBS 17x8/8.5 rims (same as what you would find on an Australian SP) (Bridgestone rubber)

* Scuff plates

* Drivers' armrest

* Driver & Passenger carbon fibre/kevlar recaro seats (VERY light)

* Front and rear strut braces

Performance modifications:

* Apexi PFC ECU + commander. Switchable boost (.7 + .8bar through the commander).

- tuning by one of Japan's most renowned rx-7 specialists: STILLWAY (check them out on youtube). It's a 'safe' tune (still had more in it - but limited by fuel pump), holding up well (according to knock levels) on Australian PULP.

* Trust intakes

* HKS downpipe

* SMB metal catalyzer

* Kakimoto cat-back (92dB limited - it's got a great tone on idle - not loud at all, screams on WOT).

* Stillway pulleys (airpump deleted)

* Trust 2-core V-spec FMIC

* Koyo Z radiator

* RE-Amemiya air sep. tank (AST)

* HKS circle earth (earthing system)

* Exedy twin plate clutch and lightened flywheel

* Upgraded NGK plugs (10, 11)

* Upgraded leads (splitfire)

* C's short shifter (I have the OEM one too)

* R-magic torque (engine) brace

* HKS hipermax coilovers

Other modifications

* OEM Series 8 front bumper (inc. OEM combo lights)

* OEM Series upgraded (96-) tailights

* GP Sports front lip

* Mazdaspeed type-II rear spoiler

* RE-Amemiya vented bonnet

* Defi boost gauge and commander

* Trust profec-b spec II electronic boost controller (using the PFC instead at the moment)

* Blitz 'pencil'-type turbo timer

* Mazdaspeed oil cap

* Momo race steering wheel

* Clear side indicators

* Blacked-out rear markers

* Series 8 rear wiper (!)

* Kenwood MP3/CD head unit - will need to swap this out if you listen to the radio

* Fujita Engineering (FEED) gear knob

* Fujita Engineering emblems

* Fujita Engineering 'CF' door handles

* I had a full respary done about three years ago (NOT related to an accident - it's just a sad fact of life that original Mazda paint jobs don't stand the test of time, as long-time owners will attest). Car has a few typical chips/nicks and scuffs, but no dents.

* Still has AC (often deleted during FMIC installs on these cars), but needs a re-gas

awesome car....just what i was after....

Are you interested in a swap for a MY99 WRX with cash on top?

NO TRADES

I don't live in Australia permanently - thus trades are as useless to me as this car, sadly

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
