Hello everyone. My name is Brian and I've been in the US Air Force for 15 years and currently living in Japan. I've always loved the body lines of an FD and I'm glad to finally say I own one. I just picked up a 1995 Type R Bathurst with 85,500kms on it. From what I read...it's 1 of 500 made, but nothing really special vs. other FD's. This is my first experience with a rotary engine as well. The car itself is in really good condition and of course my plans are to clean it up even better as I'm really **** about the cleanliness of my cars. Some cars I've owned in the past are, an RSX Type-S that I turbo'd, 350Z, S15 Silvia, S14 Silvia, and now my FD. I hope to gain a lot of knowledge from this forum as well as contribute any that I may have.

 

Here are some pics of it taken by person that I bought it from. I'll take some with the mods I do along the way.

 

Welcome to the forum 95R.

 

ah classy in white, i like it

 

Very nice! I wish I had an FD

 

Welcome~!
There is many nice rotary shop in Japan and FD, FC and SA22,
so enjoy to drive rotary~

 

Thanks, I'm pretty excited to finally own one. Now to learn as much about them as I can is the next challenge I must do. I don't know much at all about rotaries like I do about piston engines.

 

Very clean FD keep it that way, welcome

 

Awesome I love you're FD,
Must be cool to own a true JDM.

 

I like the white color. I am in the market for an rx7 right now...that or a mitsu GSX....but I think I am leaning towards white color. Nice car man!

 

Thanks, yeah...I much prefer the white color FD over any and I have every intention of keeping it clean looking. My plans are new wheels, coilovers, and some performance mods.

 

White was always my favorite color, had a red, but would have loved white.

 

Just ordered up some HKS Dual Air Filters since the single filter on it is filthy and an eye sore!

 

how much did you pay for this amazing ride in japan?

 

Nice FD! There wasn't much for the '95 Bathurst R besides a few visuals and the special Bathurst R stickers. I'm working on getting one imported to the states. Where are you stationed? I'm a Marine and I was in Okinawa about 4 years ago.

 

@NoRegretz, Right now I'm up north in mainland Japan. I'd love to hear how that goes on the importation as I'm wanting to bring this one back to the states after my tour in Germany is over (where I'm heading to in March with my car). I know with mine being a limited edition that its possible, but other non-limited editions can't be imported. All the info needed can be found from NHTSA's website. I've been to Camp Lester and Foster a few times while working at Kadena. I'll have a total of 6 years living in Japan under my belt.

@ Dougiepants, Paid $4,600 delivered for it. Deals can be had here in Japan if you're patient and keep one eye open...lol. Currently the Yen rate is really crappy, so prices are up.

 

Well, I'm going through this company called Japan Partner. They have the car, all the paperwork and the shipping company all in one spot. I've been emailing them over their website. You can possibly try talking to them about helping you out with the shipping.

 

I've got the shipping covered through the military. All is good!
