Before everyone goes nuts here, I have heard from two very reputable sources that Mazda is planning on doing another production run before the end of the year.

Mazda speed will take the money for a back order. I am sure if enough people pre-pay and back order the centre plate, Mazda would be more apt to do a run to fill back orders and add a few for stock.
Soon enough, rotaryextreme will be reproducing the thick intermediate centre plates. They already make a killer billet centre shaft that is a direct replacement!

They will not take pre-orders or deposits btw as I've already tried.

Yes thank you. Extreme Rotaries told me personally that they were going to work on the thick intermediates but no expected time frame as of now.
Guru racing or Extreme Rotaries, i am not sure if they are the same or how they are connected but i do know they make some killer crazy rotary internals!
I ordered some stough from mazda speed when this thread started and asked about the thick intermediate and they told me they would take an order but it had to be paid in full. I did not do it because i had heard that it was out of production from the guys in Australlia and Mazda Speed USA did not know anything about the stopped production as they said they had already had some on back order. Maybe it was just the guy that answered the phone at that time. Sorry for the bad info.

Wow so many different stories about what mazda has on hand and if they plan on making more.. I have have talked to some real BIG TIME Mazda Exec. guys and I have heard a VEry Different story. I was told that when Mazad got down to about the last 8 large center irons, they purposely ZEROED out the inventory list so that the last 8 Large center plates could not be sold. Reason behind this: The tooling to build new inventory of this part is either broken or DAMAGED and is useless. ALSO Since we have a few 20B powered HIGH profile ROAD Race cars currently being run, the last center plates where being reserved for them .... IE: ALMS

If they are going to do that, they need to go ahead and also make aluminum plates as well. Our engines could be lighter.

scoop straight from Steve S. MNAO:

We are working with Mazda Corporate (Japan) to get some additional 20B thick center plates made. I have not yet confirmed the price but it will be substantially higher than the production part. I should know more about pricing and ETA within the next couple weeks.

Mazda Japan know of the regular demand for the "CENTRE BEARING PLATES" & a way of keeping the supply happening is to allow the engineering shop to produce them. As a result of this labour intensive production technique, we must all pay a higher cost. Word has it that they will now increase in price to around the AU$3500 area or around a 250% jump in price.
If you have ever seen factory race PP rotor housings, you would know the casting is very average looking but the quality is much much higher than the series-production rotor housings thanks to the engineering shop facilities & labour that goes into their manufacture. I suspect (could be wrong) that the Centre bearing plates will have similar construction characteristics.
Expecting them to look shabby on the outside, yet the dimensions to be perfect & the working surface much higher in quality.
They considered allowing the shafts to be done but I have not heard if thats a "GO" yet. As GURU shafts are already available with much higher (price) quality & strength than the Mazda ones, word at head ofice is to allow the GURU ones to take the market possibly due to reasons I cant say right now. (Promised Rohan)
FYI, GURU is the marketing name of all the Extreme rotaries racing products. This way, there is no conflict if Racing Beat sell GURU parts if you know what I mean....

Thanks. I am pricing out the worst case scenario for a possible widebody FB 20b project with a GT42R with a 1.15 AR, Microtech, FD box, Ford 9" from Granny's, etc. etc.

FOR SALE NEW 20B PLATES and HOUSINGS
I'ave been told that I got the last plates (20b) in New Zealand, managed to get a housing, trying for the other two housings.
sorry about the pics of the plates--taking with my phone.(and plates are still in the bays) Was told by the Mazda parts Dealer that there are No E-shafts, so I'll be looking at after market ones---seen one on a New Zealand Auction site--(trade me) for $2600 (NZ)

Hi Dave, the time has come I need to look at selling these plates and housings I got from you.
I am looking for expressions of interest and an idea on what someone may be willing to pay for them. I have all the plates including the thick one all new and ALL genuine Mazda, I also have 3 brand new 20B housings. Everything is is original boxes etc...
Thanks for reading my post
