How to identify your JDM!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"im still adding to this.

Well there is quite a few import rx7s in Australia, while the S8 *(JDM - S5/S6) Rx7s are quite common as imports in Australia. There has been a number of personal imports that have slowly flooded into Australia. Large numbers of FDs also make their new homes in Canada, Europe and other places.

Well I thought I might make a list of the different types of models of rx7s that were sold within Japan for those who are not sure of what model car theirs is.

Firstly, the vin!

The first digit after FD3S shows the production run,

FD3S1##### = version 1 (1991 - late 1993)
FD3S2##### = version 2 (Late 1993 - 1995)
FD3S3##### = version 3 (1995)
FD3S4##### = version 4 (1996-1998)
FD3S5##### = version 5 (1998-2001)
FD3S6##### = version 6 (2001-2002)

Remember that the models names such as Series 6,7,8 were something that was created in Australia. In Japan, Rx7s are identified as belonging from one of 6 types.
