I'm gonna try this again, pretty much the same way, hopefully it doesn't get rejected this time.

My name is Shane, I'm currently living in Fussa-Shi, Japan. I recently bought an fd that doesn't run. It appears that the previous owner took pretty good care of it... before it blew up. Current mods are:
-Cusco coilovers
-hks hi-power exhaust
-Apexi power intakes
-Exedy stage 1 clutch
-Lightweight flywheel
-twin oil coolers
-turbo timer
-momo steering wheel
- boost and oil temp gauges
-"99 spec Origin fornt bumper"
-clear lamps all around
-HIDs
-2 (unistalled) test pipes
-replaced vacuum lines/check valves/spark plugs

(I did not get the advans, they had horrible (+48) offset and I would have paid 50% more to get them with the car)

As of now I'm sure the engine is beyond toast (0 compression, anywhere) and I'm in search of a replacement. Here are a couple pics:

 

Welcome

 

welcome! thats a pretty cool set up you've got are you stationed there with military? if you are how did you buy a car?

 

Yea I'm in the Air Force, stationed at Yokota AB. I just bought it?? buying cars here isn't a problem at all, alot of the cars are cheaper than the inspections they need every 2 years. I'm here for 3 years I've got plenty of time to tinker.

 

The best thing is to get in contacts with some people that have the knowledge to help you.
Even if Saitama prefecture is a bit far from where you are, im sure there's Tom (Circuit_Theory on the forum) that could help you !! he is really good with rotaries, and he also worked with Wise One, a tuning shop.
Good Luck with everything !!

car looks, clean!

 

so what have you done to it so far to try to fix it?

 

Welcome, where exactly is fussa-shi japan? Mainland? I used to live in Kadena, okinawa. I love japan...culture....cars.....women lol Thats a great looking car btw.

 

Thanks for the replies. I put a different engine in the car and it ran for about a month before the map sensor let go and it shot more apex seals out. It's been broken since then, I need two good housings and two better rotors to rebuild it. I'm actually trying to sell it and get something that I can drift... This is too pretty to mess up. If it doesn't sell as is I'll put another engine in it to move it.

 

Fussa is 23 miles NW of Tokyo, near hachioji.

 

how much did yoy pay for that beauty?

 

gorgeous car bro I am soooo jealous I dream of living in Japan, 1 thing I'm sorry for not joining the services for is the chance to live there and buy some cars (asthma, over weight, and a fear of heights and dying don't help lol). I say fix it and keep it maybe ship it back and by a cheap 180sx for drifting I don't live there but I know for a fact it is easy to find and dirt cheap. Welcome to the community.

 

Use to be in the Air Force and always wanted to be station in Jaian but never did. You got got access to a lot of parts. Nice set up you got though. Good luck!

 

so jealous def want to be in japan

 

That is the best looking not running fd purchase ever! Haha, Good find. Hopefully you get it sorted out soon!

 

Would love one like this!

 

I've wanted a JDM FD forever nice car

 

dude you're in japan. you don't even need to overnight parts. In all seriousness, good starting off point.

 

Thanks for all the replys, it is awesome over here. Sadly I'm actually trying to sell this to get something I can drift.. This is to pretty to smash.

 

Clean car.
