I have the chance to buy an FC GT-R 'Winning Limited" Edition. Its on an auction right now with my name on it, now I don't know what this edition is or what it stands for or if it some exotic version of the FC. Does anybody know anything about this 'edition'??

 

How much is it?

 

Here are some pics:



Right now we're looking at around 5 grand Canadian.

 

So that's what? $3.50 american?

Looks nice, but not a fan of the mismatched rims.

 

It's actually around 4500 US. Does anyone know what a Winning Limited Edition RX7 is though?

 

I hate single exhaust on a bumper designed for dual. No real info on that model here other than it is obviosly a J-spec I think GT-R = GXL though. Probably GXL SE. Instead of special they call it winning.

 

Yeah if I end up getting it I'm getting rid of the fart can exhaust and mismatched rims. besides that the car is clean. So your guess would be a GXL SE?

 

It is pretty friggin sexy for that price... Does it run good?

 

My friend in japan has test driven the car and says everything is perfect. the mismatched rims are an eyesore though.

EDIT: I don't think it can be a GXL cus its a s5 late 1991 car. GXL's were only s4 right? maybe im wrong.

 

It'll just be one of those "limited-edition" trim packs that manufacturers like to pump out on a regular basis to keep public interest up. It'll be mechanically identical to any other GT-R but it'll have a few extra interior goodies and maybe some extra stickers. Nothing worth paying extra money for anyway.

 

gxl se? wtf
it is a gt-r, plain and simple

fairly base model...

but since it is from japan, it came with a turbo

 

As far as I know the GXL's stopped being made in the 90 model year(my GXL is a 90). And the japanese version of the GXL was the GTX i believe.

 

wasnt winning edition what one of the infine/enfine whicherver and however you spell it for when mazda won the lemans, or a model for the year...

 

holy god... i love that car. i cant get over it. lol. later.
-allen

 

GXL is known as the GTX this is a..... well I don't know JDM but it look pretty cool I guess, never heard of winning limited edition.

 

does it say that on the auction listing before you started bidding on it? ... perhaps its just the title towards you, your "winning the limited ltd". thats my guess. oh and i still absorutery love this car. but it does have diff size rims. i would change that.

 

This is an exact word for word quote of the auction report:

"1991 Mazda RX7 | RX-7 (GT-R "Winning Ltd") Details:

This is a special GT-R "Winning Ltd" model but we're unfamiliar with what this actualy means."

I wonder if it has leather...

 

this guy's right.

 

GT-R is a Nissan thing isn't it?

I've seen GT-R Spev V Jetta's, Escort's, and Golf Carts. My guess is the previous owner deemed it GT-R "Winning Edition" himself and it really doesn't mean anything about what's on the car. Look up the VIN and that will tell the true story.

 

^^^^ look in the faq, GT-R and GT-X were models in japan

 

Is it me, or does it look like a toy car in those pictures?

 

werd... looks like a toy to me too

 

As mentioned, GT-R is not just a Nissan thing.

RX-7 GT-R
Skyline GT-R.
Integra Type-R
Civic Type-R
Pulsar GTi-R
..so forth.

R stands for "Race" IIRC, showing the car to be someting designed to be sporty and fast, with minal other distractions.

RX-7 GT-R is, IIRC is going to have the basic GTU equipment along with the J-Spec turbo engine. All RX-7s in japan are Turbo (incase you didn't know). If the car has been taken care off, 5,000CAD doesn't sound to bad, assuming that includeds shiping and all. Most of these auction off cars are the bottom of the barrel, (although better in most cases then our top-notch cars).

If your Canadian, check this site out.

Read up all the info, search the auctions, broker and private. It helps if you know some Japanese when it comes to the auctions and private, but deals can be had.

Personally, as much as I like the RX-7, I would find it hard to pass up a nice
Skyline GTS-t Type M (RB20DET, LSD, RWD)


Broker Price $2730 CAD
Shipped, taxes, service fees et al. = $5949 CAD ($5,375.49 USD)

 

gts-t's arent bad, but i prefer the styling of the rx7 as well as its easier to drop an ls1 into it.

 

Looks just like another Jspec car with a body kit to me.
