Both of those GTRs are awesome. And yes, this thread has slowed down allot. I'll probably post another massive post tomorrow or something to get the ball rolling.
But for now this...

I love 400Rs. Slow? This thread moves faster than almost anything else on the board besides the F1 thread of the week!

Two rotors...six spark plugs? Little to no sense has been made.

That's not quite how it works. There's only one combustion chamber, but all three sides of a rotor are doing something - intake, compression, power, and exhaust are all happening at the same time at different spots around the rotor. My engine has two spark plugs for each rotor, both next to each other in the combustion chamber. That makes 4 for a two rotor. A three rotor would have six.Each rotor has three plugs. Three separate combustion chambers defined by each side of the triangular rotor.
That's why your basic 1.3 liter rotary drinks gas like a V6... take all the spark plugs into account and it's more like 2.6 (or is that 3.9?) liters.
I can only assume the two wires on the left are going somewhere other than spark plugs, or that car has a 20B lol.

Oh. Always thought of it as the rotor forming one wall of the combustion chamber, and you simply have the combustion chambers moving around the... errh... combustion chamber.
Hm.
Wouldn't those two wires be going to the ignition coil/s? (not knowing anything about rotary electricals)... or a flamethrower kit?

I have no idea honestly lol. I don't know how distributors work! Mine just has two coils, leading and trailing, with two wires coming from each going to their respective spark plugs. It's a point to point ordeal, no pun intended.Wouldn't those two wires be going to the ignition coil/s? (not knowing anything about rotary electricals)... or a flamethrower kit?
Plus, if he's doing it right (read: straight pipe) he doesn't even need a flamethower kit. Factory installed.

It is 2 spark plug per rotor, the middle wire is from the ignition coil, maybe in that particular case, there is 2 ignition coil
EDIT: just found out that there is 1 ignition coils per rotor --> http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/how-a-wankel-rotary-engine-works/timing-ignition.html

^ That is simply awesome. I wonder how much those wheels and tyres cost?
