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
