Hey folks.
Just checking in. I've been stalking since I bought my first rotary a few months ago. I've put a ton of hours into fixing her up already, and I'm ready for more! Thanks to this site and a few others from the US it hasn't been too hard.

Details: 92 FD3S TT 5spd
RHD, Jspec, JDM, whatever people call it... I've owned more cars in Japan than I have in the US.
Originally auto, my good friend that I got it from did the auto-5spd swap before I picked it up.
I'm just about done with all of the easier stuff...
intake
exhaust (dp,mp & cb)
Power FC
coilovers
pulley kit w/ air pump removal
FMIC
Koyo radiator w/silicon hose and modded fan control
drilled rotors
wideband O2, boost, water temp gauges
blah
blah

Future plans are datalogit, fuel pump, adj FPR, injectors, ignition, ss fuel and brake lines, and then single turbo. It's gonna be a while before I get there though. I hope I can help the new guys who come along after me as much as y'all have helped me already.

I'm long winded, sorry.
Glad to be here.

 

post some pics

 

Looks like you have good plans.
Welcome.

 

Good thing you are in the south eh? Hope things are ok there.

 

Ok.
Thanks.
Yep, we're fine down here. Thanks.

 

Wow, nice wheels.

do you have specs on them?

 

hi there, what kind of headlights are those? never seen them before

 

Thanks! They are Konig Afterburners 19" with 235 front and 285 rear. A tad heavy, and a wee bit bling for my personal taste, but I like them.

I'm pretty sure they're eBay specials. They were on the car when I bought it.

 

those headlights...
Keisuke!?

thats a beaut ya got there!

 

Omae wa mo shindeiru

 

Thanks!

I picked up two walbro 255's and a sard fpr, a new master cylinder/brake booster, a stainless manifold with T04 flange and set up for external wastegate. I got all that for a grand total of $70. It's good to live in Japan. Those will go in soon. I've got a line on some 1600cc Injectors with a custom rail and stainless lines with an fittings. I'll be picking those up soon, as well as the brake lines with proportioning valve. Now I just need to source a T04, wastegate, dp, ignition and a datalogit. This project is coming along faster than I thought! Oh yeah, I'll probably need a clutch after all this too. (keep forgetting to budget for that)

 

nice!

 

nice looking car, welcome!

 

So are parts pretty cheap for 7's in Japan or what? I would think so since they're Japanese as a guess. Nice ride!

 

Haha! I know that car!

 

very nice fd! can u direct parts from japan?

 

Thanks guys.
Yeah, parts are hit and miss on prices but if you wait for the right deal to come by they're dirt cheap.
Hehe, hopefully you'll get to know it better once you return... I need to tune out my super-rich idle. How's the Phillippines?
I'd love to help out, but I'm afraid constant trips to the post would be a hassle. I don't have much spare time outside of work, wrenching on my FD, and spending time with the fam.

 

The PI was alright.. I am glad to be home. I can try to help out but I need to figure out how to get the wideband talking to my datalogit.
