well after almost 2 years I have a FC again Pics inside

After waiting almost 2 years for a FC I have one again. It arrived here in Okinawa on the 25th Jan. I got the car about month and half ago but took a while for the place I got it from to ship it. and they charge $10 per day for storage. so next car I will not be using this company.

When I got the car I from the Japanese Car Dealer auctions. I was told it was a 90 Infini Ver 3. But when the car got here I took the it to a Mazda Dealer to do some checking. Had them check the VIN and service records.

Turns out its not a Ver 3 but its a Ver 4. The info local dealer got when they called Mazda was the car is #18 for Infini ver 4. They said they would pull 20 cars at time from the line to be built Infini specs.

It sure is nice to drive a FC again and 5 speed. I know it looks black in most of these pictures. but its really dark green.

anyway here is a few pics I will post some more later

These where taken today when I went to the Sakura Matsuri in Nakijin Okinawa

Now be honest, which you would you rather drive, the Cosmo, FC or FD?

I dont think they are for 240 as they are 5 bold. most 240s I have ever seen are 4 bolt. They are 17 X 7 and 17 X 8

I will be getting some different wheels in a few months

yeah that company I used, I will never recommend to anyone auto square japan.
in the end there where so many hidden fees it was crazy. I paid alot more than ever planned to. maybe as much for mine as it cost to get your and ship to NZ.

Sweet keep us posted on yours. I would like to see it too.
