Hey guys. decided i am going to downgrade a bit due to buying a house. Has been my dream car for years but cannot afford to keep it at the moment unfortunately. Not in a hurry to sell so am not interested ridiculous offers and please keep any negative comments to yourselves, thanks.

It is a black 5 speed manual '94 model, with just on 80,000 on the clock.

Car is almost completely standard, except for turbo back exhaust system with varex muffler and twin apexi pods.

Comes with 19" starcorps with heaps of dish on the rears. fit really well and show off the slotted rotors and calipers which have been painted red.

also has a heavy duty clutch installed by previous owner just before i bought the car.

It has had the standard series 6 rear spoiler removed and the holes are just plugged at the moment as i have a series 8 rear spoiler that i was going to put on but havent got into painted yet.

Interior is in good condition and the exterior is in pretty good condition for its age. Has a few minor marks, stonechips etc.

Like most cars of its age it has a few small problems which i dont have time to fix. These are:

- tacho works intermittently. apparently caused by a lose connection

- has a squeak coming from the rear of the car when you are on a bumpy road or going up a driveway. needs a rear swaybar bush to be changed to fix it.

- when you start the car after it has been sitting for several hours it has an alarm come on to say you need to add coolant. it only stays on for 30 seconds or so but i just find it a bit annoying. this is a common problem in this series rx-7 and is just an issue with a sensor.

- has a spot on the front bar where the paint is cracked so it needs to be resprayed

i have only owned the car for a bit over 6 months and have not used it very much at all. just short trips to and from work mainly. It is a great head turning car. sounds really tough and looks very tidy. it is also pretty quick for an almost stock car. would love to spend the time and money fixing up the problems but i would rather spend it on the house at the moment. As ive said price is negotiable due to the couple of small problems.

will ad pics tomorrow after ive given it a wash.

contact by pm on here or 0402630053 (prefer sms due to poor reception in our area)

car is located near Windsor, NSW

$17, 500 negotiable

update

put the car into the mechanic the other day and got the spark plugs changed, running really well now

the coolant alarm going off was found to be due to a very slow leak out of the water pump. not an urgent fix just requires it to be checked once a week or so.

will take this into account if negotiating price if it is not yet fitted with a new one at time of sale.

i go away next week so best contact will probably be by email if you have any question

[email protected]

cheers guys, had several offers but not quite what im after

this badge only came out on the earlier fd models and only on the jap imported cars, the australian ones had the different badge like a number 8, same as on mx-6. and i think the series 7's and 8's started using the normal mazda badge

oh i see...hehe would u swap this car for a skyline??

nah not really open to trades at the moment. want to get something a bit more practical and cheaper to insure for the moment and im pretty picky with what i get so would prefer a straight cash sale.. i can definately see myself getting another r34 in the next 18 months or so though :D

make some offers guys, prefer local sale can willing to help organise interstate transport. i've found a car im after to tow the boat for summer so would like to sell this soon. cheers

Hi Mate. Just wondering if you would be selling with RWCertificate and if that would be valid in Victoria. If no RWCertificate, then can you tell me exactly what is required for Road Worthy. Maybe scan a certificate from an Authorised mechanic? I am just guessing because we can do that in Victoria. Not sure about NSW. Thanks! :)

hey mate, i havent organised a road worthy cert for it. im not exactly sure what you would need for it in victoria. it would need the horn fixed, one of the headlight motors is a bit sticky sometimes, so they might not like that, and depends what their take on pod filters and loudish exhaust are. the pods and exhaust are the only mods, but im not sure of victorian rules on those thing. cheers mate.

price drop 15, 500 as is pretty firm

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
