No I got the engine from Pettit racing USA. The car is uk spec. So I went to the mechanic today and he had no idea what a pressure test was lol. Will look in to myself somehow I guess.

Well sadly the country we live in don't have specialists for the rotary at all. The only mechanics we have are the ones we've sorta trained by telling them what to do after extensively going through the forum. Technically we could do the work ourselves but they do it for us for a menial charge. Anywho time to figure this out

What he said. they basically put a special radiator cap on, that has a pressure hose comign out of it, and a gauge. They then pump air in to get it up around 8 to 10 psi. Then leave it. If the pressure drops, leak. If it does not drop, no leak.
Kit can be as simple as this

Since his 8 is UK spec, I am guessing he is in the UK.
EDIT:
OP: Depending on what part of the UK you are in, a quick Google search is all that is needed.

In his first post he mentioned he is in Pakistan.
Most likely imported the car from UK.
I was wondering why not directly import one from Japan? would have been cheaper in my opinion.

Yeah most people just import them from Japan. I live in Asia and I imported mine from Japan. That said, second hand cars in the UK are pretty cheap. I'm not sure if they're cheaper than Japan though. I would've imported mine from the UK too if it was available there.

I imported my car from the UK as JDM cars are limited to 189km/hr. Plus they're usually better maintained as we'll as being in a cooler climate
