What starter should I use, not turning fast enough!
We narrowed the problem down to the starter not spinning the motor up fast enough. Can we use the starter from a 2007 which has the upgraded starter???
or which should we use?
we have a 2004 RX8

The older starter will not cause a problem by itself (unless it fails)
But to answer the question, assuming MT, the new starter is N3Z1 and the old one is N3H1.
The two are the compatible so they can be exchanged.
If your car is flooded like mine was then it probably still won't start even with a new starter.
- I had to remove the plugs and perform a full de-flood to start it.

My starter was turning at 164RPM and reliably started the car for 8 years until it flooded.
Once it flooded even the upgraded starter cranking at 320 RPM wouldn't start the car until it was properly de-flooded.
