year and month of my FD?
Heya guys, the person im about to order a pfc off needs to know exactly what month my FD was made in so he can give me the correct model so how do i figure that out again? I know its got something to do with those numbers on the firewall but cant find the info on about it. I've told my tuner that its a 1996 model but he needs to know the month is well. Cheers.

Thanks mahjick that link is quite informative, the problem is that they stopped at the year 1995? I just cant seem to find where it explains wat month ur FD's made in. Im from New Zealand so i suppose its a JDM model then? As soon as i know wat month its made in i could tell the tuner and he could put me order thru for the pfc. THanks.

SLO NIZ,
here are the model numbers for the JDM spec Power FC
12/1991 - 1/1996 13B-REW = 414-Z004
1/1996 - 1/1999 13B-REW = 414-Z005
1/1999 -> 13B-REW = 414-Z006
hope this helps

Cant understand why your tuner would need to know the exact month, the power FC model you need should fall under one of the categories above
i found this out too :
"JM1" "World Manufacturer Identifier" for Mazda
"FD" RX-7 series
"33" body style ("33" = coupe)
"1" "Misc ID field" (1993: "1" = US, "2" = Canada.)
(1994: "3" = manual seat belts, 2 airbags)
(1995: "3" = manual seat belts, 2 airbags)
"1" "Check Digit" (used to verify that a VIN is not bogus)
(calculated for each car)
"P" year model code (1993 = "P")
(1994 = "R")
(1995 = "S")
(Q was not used)
"0" assembly plant code ("0" = Hiroshima)
"200001" serial number (1993: started with 200001)
(1994: started with 300001)
(1995: started with 400001)

The breakdown of the VIN only applies to U.S. cars, as far as I know.
The build date of the car should be on the sticker on the driver's side door jamb, as BigBoosting said.

Ok im pulling my hair out and still cant figure out what month my FD's built in BUT i do remember the person that rebuilt my engine saying that i've got a different ECU and the rats nest is different to the pre 96's so does this mean ill be grabbing the PFC in the middle out of the list of 3 that shaq gave me? Thanks again.

Did some research for you was board at work,
When you say you have a different ecu do you mean a 16bit version? Or some aftermarket one? as this was changed from 8 bit to 16 bit late 95 onwards.
Also I know that Mazda changed the rats nest to some kind of solenoid pack late 95+

I would be interested to know my month on my JDM as well. its a 95 model BUT its a type RB model which was not released until later in 95-96 i believe.
I think he only way you can tell is to ring up or email mazda japan.
