So having spent countless hours pouring through web pages trying to see what fits the FC from other cars, totally interchangeable or fits with a certain modification etc why not post what you have fitted to your car that is either non-rx7 or, perhaps its shared with something like a MX5 or RX8. For instance I have been after an uprated radiator for mine, £200 from China? no thanks...... but I do know that a Skyline rad will work just as well and although the water pipes are slightly smaller it will fit very nicely. The water hose connections are on the same sides and only a slight mod be done to the top hose to fit. Its a cheaper option considering you can get a 52mm thick uprated one for about £120. Even a standard one will fit but the overall volume is less but has been proven to work very well. We need to dig deep here and anyone with a parts catologe might easily spot a water sensor for instance that may well cost £30 for a RX7 but only £12 for a MX5 but yet the same item !! Get the point of this now?
Just add the item to the list after your writeup.

Some great threads appearing tonight, this is a brilliant idea. We could do this for all gens
well someone could start one in the 1st and 3rd gen sections then they could become excellent stickies. The 3rd gen though is a bit of a law to itself and this idea may only be good for the old gen cars as most were build from stock mazda had kicking around anyway. But it all does help in keeping costs down, helps to preserve the cars so people do not readily and freely scrap the cars etc. We just need the cost of rebuilds to get cheaper.

Nice idea Pete. Think I and many others will benefit from this thread. like you say should become a sticky at some point.
oh 99p shower curtain. Fits cabs as roof protector!
I think everyone knows this but wing mirrors are interchangable between FC\'s and old AE86 gen Corollas.
I know what you mean about parts prices though! I remeber a timing belt for a B16 Honda engine being something like 60 quid from Honda and the EXACT SAME PART, same part number and everything but branded as being for an older civic was 30 quid! Lol!
MX5 Diffs, i know you can fit them in a N/A Fc3s.
How about the turbo\'s? or even a crown wheel n pinon?
Oh AE86 front brake calipers, dont know why you whould ha
Quote from: TiddlesRX7;582339oh 99p shower curtain. Fits cabs as roof protector!
smart mouth !! :D LOL
i have been thinking about this a lot - and what we could prob do with is a list thats a direct fit - and a list that needs mods ( and if they are known )
What about the belt you run if using a double alternator pulley (after removing airpump). Isn\'t it one from a mini or something?
yeah something like a 64 mini fan belt
I will get the part number as I got mine from Halfords for the belt. (comparison in size).
Think Grinder is right, I think we should keep this going as long as possible but try to pick out what is a direct fit, maybe even a part number if you have it and what sort of car its from. We can then create a parallel list to show what items you can get that fits with a bit of modding. That way we can cater for the people that want just a direct bolt on item and who may not have the necessary skills.
We can include some of the most common items such as coil packs of TII\'s to fit EGI\'s etc and maybe the reason why as well. If there is any info within this thread that people disagree on then please free free to speak up as I know some people can have better results than someone else for the same item.

They seem similar to a CIBIE 5x7 fitting - but I know some lenses I bought were\'nt an exact fit and needed a filing down - but they were naff anyways. Are the MR2 lenses a direct swap ?
Sure are, they are in my FC restoration thread, the picture is of the MR2 lights in the FC housing ready to go back in the car, no modding needed, direct fit! :King :

Which model skyline regarding the radiator?
im sure i have read somewhere that a ford tranny van rad will fit into the FC - im sure someone has done it on here aswell
FD thermostat will fit an FC and there is a Saab one that fits that has a lower opening temp.
FD Diff internals will fit an FC TII diff casing and give you an LSD.
FD Brake Master cylinder will fit TII and give better braking pressure
Rear FD Braided brake line can be used as a clutch line for the TII
FD RZ front callipers can take a 32mm front disc so bigger and wider front discs (from anything) can be fitted. Callipers will need a bracket to relocate it. I fitted M5 discs (335 x 30) to my FC using stock FD calipers with a spacer in the middle from Billet Bitz who used to advertise on here. The RZ caliper already has the spacer from mazda. The brakes were fantastic on track.

Also the MX5 radiator cap fits an FC radiator.
I\'ve read on the rx7club site that Evo IX brembo brakes fit with minor mods on the FC fronts. Apparently you need to drill out the caliper bolt holes a little, and the rotors need machining down a small amount and the centre hole is a little narrow for the FC centre\'s so that needs to be machined out just a little. This will only work on 17" or above wheels, and may require a spacer as the calipers are a little wider.

How does this actually work? I\'ve got the FD brake master cylinder, I measured it up with the FC one, they dont seem to be anything alike, lines etc in different places, can someone explain how this one works?
i was told that the ignition coils in my late s4 fc were the same as those from a beetle, im guessing an old one. Havnt got any confirmation though
Easy way is to throw the part numbers up in google and see what it brings up.
Anyone got the part number for the dual alternator pulley belt?
Quote from: TiddlesRX7;613492Anyone got the part number for the dual alternator pulley belt?
i might misunderstood the question but cant you just call up mazda and ask? as its the same as a normal alt belt.
btw best to change the old belt also as the old belt will have worn a bit and wont be as tight as the new one when u put it on.
its just 2 belts mate - something off a old 1969 mini or summat daft like that
i thought the mini belt was only fan and alt pulley without going round the water pump?
do fd brake disk (front and rear) fit fc? same with brake pads?
Disc\'s don\'t fit from FD to FC (different bell dish or something) I think the pads fit in the front but not sure about the rears.

Not a direct fit but with little modification a electric fan & cowling out of a Merc C180, its massive & does the job nicely!! Well worth doing & got both the fan & cowling from my local scrappy for £20 so bargain!! Mounting it is pretty easy to.

Looks like a good fit what sort of rad is it in the car N/A or turbo looks different to my T2 ?
Cheers
Sorry good point thats an n/a rad but will fit your T2 rad all the same ;)
the problem is, people aren\'t saying what modifications are needed to do these...
does anyone know if there are any upgrades for the EGi brakes that aren\'t resorting to grooved/drilled disks and greenstuff pads etc? Just want to get bigger and/or better brakes for grinder price or similar
Could you not swap the calipers over to a TII? I believe that the EGI calipers don\'t have as many pistons?
is it a direct swap?
Do you have 4 pot brakes?
if so, they\'re as good as the TII and FD brakes. And they are good brakes!!
Might be an idea to change/look into uprated pads if you\'re having issues. My egi used to be able to lock the fronts fairly easily
UK EGI brakes are 4 pot same as theTII\'s - only our american cousins got the lesser brakes ;)
Ah ok, I knew that there were some sort of EGI that has worse brakes lol what if you put on braided lines as an upgrade?
im under the impression that braided lines are there to give of more linear feel, and will take more of a beating if you\'re running on track. Probably last longer too
Having the braided coating, they won\'t bulge when you put the pressure on - so more of the braking force from the pedal / master cylinder goes to the calipers :)
They are also stronger than the rubber only ones
As we are onto brakes you might as well just fit FD front calipers, no difference in performance but less prone to sticking. The rears will have to stay standard. As a matter of interest the rear calipers of an FD will not fit the FC and there is no need to as the piston is exactly the same size and area so will be of no performance gain other than reliability. TII brake servo will be a gain, as will fitting a FD master cylinder to it.
I tried the brake cylinder, won\'t work on the EGi\'s, I\'m just deciding if it\'s cheaper to get the FD caliper or just rebuild my ones
Or is there an upgrade... I saw earlier that evo brakes swap with some fettling... Anything else like that...?
alfa gtv or jtd twin fan fits need to cut and reweld 3 brackets if you look from the back of the fan the top right fits direct others just need cutting off and moving (need to use the alfa wire harness too but works well dosnt fully fill all the rad but far better than the engine one and frees up alot of space)
fd aftermarket exhaust manifold i beleive fits just may need a spaver for one of the ports.
anyone know about fd inlet manifold?
any radial caliper will fit just need a mounting bracket. front pos back if the handbrake is built into the disc rather than the caliper (havent changed any cables yet lol)
Thats not really interchangeable is it..
With modification, almost anything is possible!
But your examples include too much fabrication to call them interchangeable ;)
Some of the other things need slight mods too. Was more that they fit with very little effort. And all parts can be got from scrap yards so are cheap.
This is a great topic! :) Someone should start similar about FB`s too...
not sure if its been said:
JDM and Uk rear lights.
Diff will fit mx5 (NA, NB), FD, Rx8.
You\'ll need to drill two holes to fit the JDM rear lights...

Does anyone know if an oil metering pump from an FD fits an FC?
An fd omp only has 2 injector outputs whereas the fc engine requires 4
Oh well worth asking, thanks for the info
does any mx 5 diff fit the fc or does it have to be a specific model and have any of the mx5 models have an lsd fitted, i need an lsd for my fc.
The lsd of a fd or rx8 will fit and as there are lots of dead rx8 there are plenty of cheep diffs out there
i did a quick ebay search and found a few diffs at reasonable prices but they all looked different, am i correct in thinking the i need to swap the internals over, given the choice would you go with a viscous or torsen?
You change the internals ,there a good file with all the specs in it somewhere that I downloaded, I have a look for it when I get home at the weekend, there\'s a bit to set up and for what it is worth I recommend getting a garage to do it .as far as what type to get is personal choice (how quickly it locks up, how aggressive) .
The FD front hubs take the FC brake calipers and discs, only difference is the two bolts that hold the disc to the hub, they are misaligned but not really needed anyway.
What type R32 radiator fits the turbo fc, the gtr, gts etc? This is a good thread, but it would be better if the suggestions/items were a bit more specific. Im still confused about whether the FD brakes fit a turbo fc or not! Is it the calipers/discs/pads or all 3 that fit directly?
Thanks

The FC and FD brake setups are exactly the same.
Ok silly question time - , so if the FD and FC brake setups are exactly the same, whats the point of upgrading to the FD setup?
Lee
Are you asking me why I'm putting FC caliper a on FD hubs? Because they aren't going on either. I'm using the FD hubs because they're the easiest to fit, I just happen to have FC bits laying about to use.

No, im just asking in general to the thread. The start of the thread says FD brakes are interchangeable, and the question I guess im asking is, are the FD brakes bigger/better than the FC, and do they simply bolt on, if I were to upgrade my FC brakes?
Lee
They are exactly the same as each other.

If got an 89 Vert so, not sure. Oh grinder, whilst you're here, do you have a write up with pictures of your shower curtain roof protector? Seeing as photobucket have committed seppuku.

Wouldn't that need a rope both ends? I thought eyelets were only on the top?

I just did it in all 4 corners and pretty much ignored the holes in the curtain ;)

Might be S5 only .. I should have checked when I was doing the rear brakes
I did make them fit the back anti roll bar though, so not a completely wasted purchase.
I had to grind off the extruding aluminium bushing to get the the alignment true, but it worked.
was your pic from the front ?
I thought they only fit the rears to be honest ?!?!
For some reason in my head I thought they were supposed to fit the front.
I'm searching for a car out there with the same as our front ones, it must exist. No way am I paying £50 each. (Which is what some fleecer on eBay has them at!)

Passat Rear droplinks? look a bit cooler than the standard ones too.
Quote from: Sooperkent;863558Then received our rear droplinks (got these on ebay for £12 theyre for a VW passat and fit perfectly :) Alot better than the £40 per link i was quoted by Mazda)

Will confirm next time I'm with my car, but these should replace the rear droplinks
