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

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
