I have for sale;

Year / Month: 1989/02

Make: Mazda

Model: RX7

Series: 4/5 (not sure which)

Transmission: Manual

Body: Coupe

Location: Hobart, Tas

Price: $8500

It is the 13B turbocharged variant. Attached is the original auction invoice from over 12 years ago. Since this time, car has travelled at most 100klms. That is correct – it has not been complied, registered, or used before.

In 2008, it received a comprehensive service from Griffiths Autos in Moonah, and was then parked back under a tree where it has sat the past 6 years.

In 2014 (June), it received an ever more comprehensive service, all up it will be costing me close to $3000.

Whilst there are some photos of the car taken when it was first purchased (2002, lol), it now has larger chrome 17’s, and bodykit / aero mirrors. It does however have minor panel damage (scratches mainly, but paint work is sh**e).

Unlike other 25+ year old RX7’s which have been owned locally and somehow claim to have accumulated only 70K on the clock, this one has legitimate mileage (after all, has not been driven more than half of its life).

This will suit one of three purposes;

  1. Someone who wants to do up an old rotor in their choice of colour, rather than having to pay extra for good paint that they are going to spray over. So if you want Ford Acid Rain, this may be the go...
  2. Someone who is, knows or has access to paint and panel facilities – and can do the job cheaper than the $2500-3000 I have been quoted
  3. Someone who intends to just track the car, and has no need for nice paintwork, etc

If not gone in the next week or two, I will be spraying it myself, and car will probably end up a dark bronze, similar to its current factory colour.

I can certainly arrange for compliance and registration in Tassie. The car only needs the reverse light switch mechanism, and then is good to go.

I would consider swaps for either of the following only (with cash adjustment your way as required);

  • Toyota Supra GZ TT auto (prefer aerotop)
  • Modern (2005 or newer), small automatic buzzbox, in good or better condition

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
