My name is Lance Drake I’m 28 not a car mechanic but was an aircraft mechanic for 6 years. I recently purchased an FD and am honestly trying to learn as much as I can. This car seems to be tricky to most so I’ll probably bug you guys a lot lol. My other cars are a JDM mkiv Supra and a 2020 STI

Welcome to the club. No worries about bugging most of us here. We were all newbs once and most have asked plenty of "stupid" questions, myself included. Just be aware that searching is generally appreciated in the main sections and can answer quite a few questions you might have.
Generally speaking, most regular knowledge about the FD will apply to yours too, despite it being RHD. However, regional differences have tripped up many an owner, especially when it comes to Series 7/8 (96-98/99-02). Also, Japanese Series 6 (92-95) can be a bit murky due to the various changes they made. One example is the ABS system. Up to I believe 12/1993 (don't quote me on the date there, doing it from memory) FDs had the ABS system carried over from the FC GT-Limited Special Edition. After that, it received the system from the Eunos Cosmo. Then for 1996, they changed it again. There are probably quite a few other changes too, but ABS was the one I could remember offhand.
I've got the entire collection of Japanese FD manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. If you have a question, your VIN number would make things much easier so I could narrow it down to one manual amongst 15 to get you the correct information the first time.
