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

Firstly free bump,

You're back in Aust? I still remember the photos of Japan you posted a while ago :down:.

no, car is in Australia. I'm coming back for a quick visit in a couple of weeks, hoping to finalize a sale in that time... fingers crossed

Edited by DaiOni
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

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
