Stu, let's see a pic of this bad boy! Welcome, and I love the enthusiasm. We need more members who are legitimately passionate about the rotary and not here just to buy/sell parts.

Hey, that's in just as good, if not a better place than most of our cars we've had for years! At least yours is driving. Seems like every time mine is okay, I decide to do something else to it.

Car you educate me on the GTR monicker? We didn't have that trim in the states.

It looks like the stock turbo and all associated components (besides the bridge of course). What ECU is in the car?

I ask because I wonder if the car is tuned for the bridge, or if it's just relying on the AFM to compensate. The ECU should be under a large shield in the passenger footwell. Next time you're digging around in the car it would be good to check on that.

Morning Daniel mate I've just taken cover off and and there's an old sticker on it that says Denso made in Japan then large letters N3 & the rest of that sticker us gone it looks like it the original ECU! But I don't know the car starts perfect every time & when secondaries kick in no turbo lag but it's my first rotary so I wouldn't no! Can u get a chip put in ecu to tune for Bridgeport im not sure but sounds & runs awesome ?

maybe not a bridge port, video it idling if you can manage to get a video uploaded, they are harder then photos. idling it should skip abit, and not be smooth

I think you'll need to host it on a site like YouTube and post the link, I don't recall being able to directly upload video.
