Ok Rotors or "Rotary's " in Mazda Rx7 are a good engine if u no wat u r doing?

and depends on which Series u are look for

Rx7 s1-3 comes with 12A Rotary ( 1.2 L )

Rx7 s4-5 is the 13B Rotary ( 1.3L )

And the s6-8 is the same 13B ( 1.3L )

well i hope u no the Base of a Rotary

its true that u need to service the engine but its not 10,000kms

it's every 100,000kms is when u need to do a full rebuild,

The price of the service depend on how well u take good care of the engine as well?

And modifying a Rotary can be a little tricky if u want to keep it legal on street

most people i know try to port there engine

its free up the exhaust so better air flow and sometime misfire that makes a

BANG BANG sound in some which sound's bad

but if u r a Rotary head like some people then its just natural

but by doing this u may get a lot of hit's from the police because its illegal

there other ways like simple mods but this is the most common in where i hang out

But if u modify the engine wrong then well u can't salvage a lot from it

I hope its helps and good luck with it

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
