Jdm Rhd Sunroof?
Did the JDM version of the 3rd Gen Rx-7 have a sunroof option? I am in the market for an imported right hand drive model but all that I have come across have no sunroof / moonroof. I would like to know specifically for the 91-94 years.

JDM versions 1 - 3 spanning Oct 1991 through Dec 1995 all offered sunroof models.
Unfortunately, parts catalogs don't state which models parts are for. Sorry I couldn't offer more info than that. You could try asking on the Australian or Canadian sub forums here, or other rx forums in Australia. |
I dont know if all of them have them, but the Type X was available with a sunroof. Early JDM models are like so: Type S - in between R and X for sports/comfort at/mt Type R - dual oil coolers, spoilers etc. like US R1 model. Mt only Type X - leather, sunroof, bose, at/mt. Like the US touring model. Type RZ - type R with recaros, 17” bbs, bilstein etc |
Just anecdotal of course, but I import a fair amount of FD3S parts from Japan and of the RAREST things to see is a sunroof RX7. I have no idea what the production numbers are, but it's gotta be 10:1 non-sunroof at LEAST (probably more like 30:1).

That makes sense as the Type X was the most expensive option (almost $6k difference between the entry Type S and a manual Type X). In addition to the things I mentioned above, it also came with cruise control, driver side airbag and the more fancy climate control. |
That's really interesting! I've noticed the same thing just anecdotally, seems like the sunroof would be more popular.
Funny thing is I totally dig a sunroof but I don't fit in the car for shit if it has a sunroof (I'm 6'6"). If I was a short Japanese dude I would be rocking that sunroof. Dale |
^^^Usually find sunroofs suck in warm climates, it's normally people in the higher latitudes who go nuts for them I notice.
Rx7 being predominantly a dry, fine day car and driving around say at the height of a Tokyo summer day with lots of humidity, an open sunroof probably wouldn't get too many ticks in the option box as a desirable choice, even if you're a tiny bugger. Did have a sunroof off an X type and have one off an AU car now(all those came with one) if you absolutely must have one! I'd expect most 91~94 cars to have been cut in half and exported by now. :gwink: |
96 was the last year for sunroof JDM FD's.
I have a sunroof 96 RX7 :) They came with black interior and red interior only |

I have a sunroof 96 RX7 :) They came with black interior and red interior only "1998" was the last FD produced with a sunroof. See my car for reference, the seat belts say manufactured in 1998. https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...2-0-a-1110374/ It is impossible to identify Japanese cars by "Year" or the flat earther term "series" see this link for why, but typically they were "1991-1998". https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-gen-gene...sense-1103931/ 1型 Type X had a steel sunroof and auto air con with bose, came in both manual and automatic trans 2-4型 Touring X had a glass sunroof and auto air con with bose, all were automatic trans Were way more expensive new, and are all extremely rare. |
