Throttle position sensor problem. Help!

Hello guys! We are from Russia and we are outrage of our problem with TPS. (мы в ахуе). Our TPS is broken. New one is very expensive. Where could we find another one for not very much money? Maybe we can install another sensor? Not from FC.
Please help us.
Car: Mazda rx7 fc3s turbo
Here is foto of the car:

A 1989 model would be an S5 which has a 6 pin TPS while an S4 (86-88) would have 3 pins.

Should be an N370 TPS correct? You can find them on ebay for $50-$75 US. I'm not sure what how that translates to your currency. A brand new TPS costs about $200 here.

Hello! You can check Ebay or on the forums here in the 2nd Gen Section. Someone may have one for sale! You should pay 2350 rubles at the MOST + shipping.
