Info on GTX model series 4?
Hi to everyone, i recently bought my series 4 13b turbo (finally:) ) and am in the process of fixing it and learning as much as possible, ive had a good read through alot of the 2nd gen specific threads and they are very informative, i still have some questions, but the main one that has me stumped at the moment, is where to find more info on the GTX model i have, i have learned that it is an import from Japan, and it should be the 200hp model, but i cant seem to find much else on the web using google. Alot of the info i have managed to find is obviously on the American models, and im in New Zealand. If anyone can help to get me started so that i can learn the differences and basic features of my model, i would be appreciative

Can't be 200hp...
All S4's are 185ps or 182hp. The GTX is basically a top loaded model. -Ted |
1st off welcome to the board and congrats upon ur purchase of a 7, i could be wrong but isnt a GTX 86-88 and GTR 89-91??or was it vice versa? or am i off track? also zenki (early production years) kouki (later production years).

thanks for the replies:)
yeah mine is an 88, im still searching for whatever i can find. The 200hp thing is from felix's pages, which is pretty much all i have found so far i could be totally wrong tho http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/mdictionary.html thanks everywun Gareth |
Your car is a S4 wich in japan is equivalent to the GTR , then comes the GTX wich is the S5 with the electrical oil pump.
In japan they only had turbo models wich where GTR and GTX, they had a limited productin of GTL ( wich are GTR's special edition wich goodies or GTX's with goodies, then they had the efini IV wich was a GTX wich some exaust work. ( if i wrong , im welcome for corrections ) |

Thanks everyone, its all very handy food for thought.
im probably missing something, but does anyone know of any pages that i can find all the factory specs for the gtx model? mine (if it is a gtx, im assuming so cos it says on the door but who knows it could be a replacement door) is totally factory apart from 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back, 17 rims, a nice quiet blow off valve, a modified gearbox crossmember (who knoes why?) and it has aluminium steering controll arms allthough that could be factory. im allready hucking into restoring it back to what i hope is mainly factory, so that i have a nice solid base to start from, and i really want to know exactly what it does have that i cant see thanks everyone :D Gareth |

Ignore his page when it comes to information on FC's and turbos. -Ted |
has anyone got a GTX out there? or links to someinfo?:confused:
|
so let me get this straight, u have a j-spec IMPORTED FC from JAPAN?? how much did that run you?
|
Note that he is from New Zealand, japanese imports are somewhat common, and a hell of alot easier to do than here in North America.
|
lol, i know what it says on the outside of the car, but im trying to find out all the specifics. thanks for everyones replies so far, anymore?........
|
yeah its not too bad for imports over here, the rules are gettin worse though, it only set me back $6000 NZ dollars, with spare parts, its in pretty good condition just needs a new door which i got for $50 and some welding on the chassis which isnt too bad either:)

I own a gt-x and am in NewZealand just brought one last week, loving it. go the rotor
|
dude i just passed up the purchase of a right hand drive GTX a GTX is basically a gtu here with a turbo motor(i think) by the way, the GTX went for 3551.00 and had 50 KM's on it. luckily i got my 87 for 2,800.

thanks for the replies everywun, im still trying out web searches with little or no luck, guess it might be a bit of a process. only just got back inside from prepping my new door for painting (started raining damnit) i guess there arent that many gtx owners on here?

This website is strongly U.S. oriented. The GT-X / GT-R wasn't sold in the U.S.
You might want to try maybe the regional forums, especially the Far East one? -Ted |
