92 Japanse RX-7

[B_Rock]

ok, folks, you are ALL missing some key points. here we go. some of this may or may not currently be relavent to the thread.

the FD made its Debut in '92, some say as a '93 model. i know this b/c MY PERSONAL CAR is a "'93" but was actually a '92 model.

The US version actually has more efficient exhaust due to it being LHD. The RHD uses a different downpipe in order to clear the steering equipment.

converting a LHD chassis to a RHD would be a nightmare. i know this b/c i looked into doing it, b/c I like the "mAd tYte JdM" look. the next best way is to cut and weld a clip. still a nightmare if you ask me.

the JDM FD made the same amount of power until they changed the turbo setup to produce 285bhp instead of 255.

as for swapping to a 3 or 4 rotor motor, that's great for going straight due to the increased power and reliability (for a motor swqapped car), but it actually degrades the handling a bit due to the fact that it throws off the perfect 50/50 weight balance.

you might want to add that the -re engines mount are further forward, therefore putting more weight in front of the car.

I've been gone for only a week or two and I could've sworn another person asking the EXACT same thing before I left. What the hell? USE THE SEARCH BUTTON PLEASE!!

This is getting old.

I've already checked and called. You're looking anywhere between $40,000 to 100,000 dollars depending on the year and model FD3S you want.

Let's some it up AGAIN!

1. Importing
2. Emissions
3. State testing (meaning they'll need a demo car to crash and smash)
4. Windshields and Glass
5. Bumper and supports

Its a lot more money than you think. I've called and talked to a contact I have at Motorex and he explained everything they have to go through before selling any of the Skylines they import for sale. Many times, new buyers will have to wait for months for they're car if its not from the collection on Skylines they already have to sell.

I'm trying to import a 92 RX7 too..........

http://www.motorex.net/contact.html

that link/site does a lot for skylines. iono if there are such services like this for RX7s, but if you want to you can call'em and ask about it.

As far as i know.... DOT (Department of Transportation) says no one is allowed to have JDM (right-hand-drives) anywhere in USA; only postal carriers are allowed to drive right handed. I've talked a little w/ EPA importing, and they say if you import you must meet USDM standards by:
changing catalyst, oxygen sensors, and just a few other stuff....( I have a document on this if you want it).... you might have to change to a left hand drive too.....

Iono how much all this'll cost, but I hear it's expensive.

(If u find any new info. , please let me know-post it up or something). Thanks....

dude just go to rx7club.net, you'll find better answers there. these jackasses just like to whore posts.

alright, here's a more relevant question... i hope. along the lines of the RHD chasis, would it be possible to import just the chasis, use american parts to build up your car untill it came to the engine/turbo setup so that it would be pretty much be a j-spec RX-7? I think that would probably be the cheapest way to get away with it if you have the time to put the car together. that would be a fun project in the future i might want to do, but that's at least 5 years away for me.

you think too much, unless you are talking about a full race car, theres no way it would cost you less to build a car with bough pieces than to buy the whole car.

alright, i guess my question is answered
