There was a Type R FD in Japan, just had shorter gearing than the regular 4.1 gearing, I believe it was 4.3. It's been around for a long time, even before the RZ.

. Most Bone stock FD's here(well, in Japan) have 2 oil coolers, cloth seats, 4.1 final gear, and red front strut tower bar. Almost NONE have automatic tranny's or leather seats.

Type R has never really been a 'top model' per se. Models like the RS or the RZ have always had more features. For instance, 16inch were always standard on Type R while the RS had standard ewuipment like 17 inch wheels, larger brakes, better suspension, etc.
There were no production limits on the 2002 Type R Bathurst but there was a 2001 Type R Bathurst R which was limited(500 made) as well as offered in sunburst yellow. Both models were based on the standard Type R, hence the inclusion of the Type R in their name.

The standard model RZ started from 95.3-98.12. No standard model RZ after 98.
The last RZ is 2000 Oct 150 cars run.
Type R starts from 91.10-95.3, no type R from 95.3-98.11. Type R comes back after 98.12

I have a type R and it has a 4.1 rear end also. The only FD with 4.3 gears was the Australia-only SP monster. Correct me if there were others but I dont think so.

rpm_pwr: The RZ model was the first FD to get a 4.3 final gear as standard equipment.
