Hey, I've been looking for a while and I haven't been able to find any info on the original paint code and trim level on a 1992 RX7, it was imported from Japan. The chassis code is fd3s-114808 Any help is appreciated!!
Vin assigned on 8th October 1992
Type R - harder suspension
Original paint is listed as PZ - so PZ black I think.

Thanks for looking, I hope that it wasn't black originally, because it was given a kandy paint over what was certainly blue. So if it was black that's gonna cause a bit of a problem 😅

FD3S-114808. Built on 10/8/1992, FE3 interior, PZ (Brilliant Black) paint. Type R. manual trans, 4 seats.
What are you guys using to look up these JDM VINs? Hookups at Mazda, or is there a bootleg copy of their software somewhere, or...? However its done, fascinating info to get! Any chance you can pop mine through there and see what pops out? It's an eaaaaaaarly car. Apologies for the *terrible* photo.
10/8/1991 would be a really really early car. Maybe even the first car.
10/8/1992 was near the end of the Version 1 run.
BTW, you are late for your next oil change. The tag says it was due May 30, 2011. Oil change at 73,000 KM and Oil filter (element) change at 78,000.
Kindly take your car back to Sakamoto Automobiles to get this corrected.
haha thanks, I'll get right on that. And because of the issues with the paint (Mainly that the car is blue with a kandy and the chassis number decoded says its supposed to be black) I've decided to just do the bodywork and then wrap the car, yall want some pics?

Unfortunately the link I have ends up at a database in Russian with a Russian URL. It makes you click on a link for each enquiry.
I value my bank accounts more than learning this information.
As you guessed, your car is likely a third week of January 1992 manufacture.

It is a Type R manual, built 8 February 1992, colour code Vintage Red, black leather interior
I presumed that by the interior code FE2, which in US and Aussie models means black leather. There are only 3 interior codes for JDM version 1 which I understand are as follows: FE2 (black), FE4 (red), FE5 (Black Recaros for RZ?). The confusing part is that there are 3 different seat part numbers for FE2, so perhaps the material did differ according to spec level even though the upholstery code on the car is the same.

the FE2/3/4 are the colors, for the style you need the other picture.
From the Canadian 1993 Catalog, anyone know what the 25AE is? i kind of overdid it with the arrows...
so FD05-57-150C-02, FD05-57-150C-33 and FD05-57-150C-17, are all STC seats, leather for the touring. the colors are the difference, FE2, FE3 and FE4 respectively.
this is all probably one step more complicated than it should be
Here is the configuration table from the final JDM Version 1 parts catalogue. The words below the table to the right seem to warn that the catalogue may not cover some configurations not specific to the version covered by the manuil. I note that it shows FE3 (Tan) seperately, but there is no FE3 in the table.
The initila version 2 JDM parts catalogue (1993 - July) shows the expansion of types and interior codes. The table shows Type R have FE7 (Red), so indeed the 1994 Type R may have had leather.
Thanks for the clarification on the interior codes above. I forgot that you needed that extra page for upholstery options. Unfortunately, the online EPC I always use is in Ukraine as well so I had to rely on an incomplete one.
FE5 is listed in the online EPC for version 1 and it correlates to the Recaro seat, so I think that would come up as the code for the version 1 RZ (despite the paper version listing it as FE2). FE5 is the normal black code for version 2, which makes it all incredibly confusing!
