Title: New FD RZ owner
Post by: RX7john on December 21, 2015, 01:02:35 PM
Hi all,

I have just managed to secure a 2000 RZ in Japan through Torque GT.
Wont be here for a few months, but I'm already excited!

The guy that took the photo's was no artist, but here's the best shot I have got.

That's really nice and rare! I've been looking on the auctions for the past few months and have not seen an RZ! When did you win the auction? Wish mine had red seats as well...

Thanks guys!
I found it at a small rotary specialist garage in Japan and Torque GT sent a guy out to check it over for me.
I was looking at auction and nothing was coming up, so decided to look in the classifieds!
The Recaro's were a major selling point, can't wait to get her!

Being a '95 Type RZ owner myself, I am so jealous. Any updates, has it arrived in the UK yet? From the picture it looks really good.

Hi RXJohn, i am new to this site as well, and i am looking for a stunning example like yours. Can you please tell me the name of the garage in Japan, and how much it cost to ship it to the Uk. Thx Rich

Hi Rich,

Sorry I'm replying so late, this forum is unusual to navigate compared to others that I've used.

I cannot remember the name of the specific garage in Japan that it came from, but if you talk to torque GT, the UK based company I used, they will be more than happy to help you import one with no stress!

Very cool ride! This forum is great and the people are very friendly here. Can't wait to meet you in person and talk rotors.
