Hi I'm new here. I'm looking to buy a RHD RX-7 Imported from Japan, and I was wondering if the parts from canadian or american rx-7 could fit on the rx-7 imported from japan, for example, the wheel berrings or like clutch parts and stuff like that. i know that some parts won't be able to work, like the wiper motars since they don't wipe the same side, but it's just basically i want to know, the suspention, brakes, engine parts, stuff like that

 

Components like those are typically the same. Most of the differences will be around part that differ based on driver location.

 

thanks a lot, so most pieces will fit on the jdm rx-7, nice to know because it's the only thing that i was worried about

 

I think ABS as a whole pump is a little bit different, i could not swap JDM one to USDM

 

hardest part is working on the turbos.
alot of RHD guys say its easier to pull the engine to work on them than anything else because the steering column goes right next to the turbos. Infact the downpipe has to be specially bent around it to work.

 

do you think i would be able to put a 20b in it?

 

tuners in japan have been dropping 20b's in their FD's, I don't see any problem with that.

 

It will be just as expensive and challenging as a LHD FD.

yeah whats the pricetag on that? about 10k if you do it yourself and 35k if you have a shop do it? LITTLE expensive....

 

your biggest concern is the shitty shape that 92 JDM cars tend to be in

 

ya but i've found a couple that arnt that expensive, that don't need that much repairs, but the enigne has like between 80000km - 120000km so an engine rebuild is almost a must but then again i'm really looking at the 1jz way but still considering the 20b 3 rotars

 

If you can spend that kind of cash, why not buy a LHD?
Whatever you do to it, in the end will still be a car that most average Joes will be more willing to pick up from you...
