Hello I have a 2011 (automatic) rx-8 that unfortunately has a bad inlet manifold. My local Mazda dealership was unable to find one for it as it's been discontinued and the only ones I'm finding online are all from Mazda dealers. Does anyone know where I can find one? The part number is N3R6-13-100. sorry if this is the wrong place to ask I just want to get my car running again.

 

A bad... manifold? That doesn't make sense. What is the actual problem? Good thing they couldn't find it, it's $1500 af dealer pricing.
2011 might be tough but try ebay. I actually have what I think is a 2009, will check. Where are you located.

 

Yea there has been some developments since I posted. That was what I was told by the "certified rotary tech" at Mazda but after calling the place in Texas and another shop both told me they have never had to replace one and aren't sure why they are so convinced that's the fix. It's throwing a p2004 and from how it's running the valve is stuck open.

It was in the shop initially to have carbon build up cleaned and from what I have been told if it was put back together right it should have cleared the check engine light. I will be taking it to rotary performance in tx since they are the closest place to me that can fix it up and that's a 3 hour haul for it.

I do appreciate you responding and trying to help! Even though I've never been steered wrong by Mazda before I've learned my lesson after all of this.
