The NSX is a pretty quick weapon. It won Targa Tassie if I'm correct. Only cause Jimmy Richards wasn't there (Again I think??)

Having driven one the NSX feels more quicker around corners but can't give no numbers to back that up. But as Rezz said, it ain't built to run the 1/4. Here's a hint as to what it was built for. Ayrton Senna helped developed the NSX.

Unfortunantly...... no:(

It`s ADVANCE`s `33 GT-R demo car. You might know Advances NSX, coz it was one of Option 2`s cover cars last year.

Some more pics...

Thats a Trust front bumper and side skirts, a Trial rear bumper spoiler, and a Sard GT Wing PRO.

Thats an HKS T51R-Kai hanging off the engine, and there are all sorts of Advance goodies inside the engine. They don`t divulge the power output, but, as it`s a track car, it`s prolly about 500 - 600ps (most circuit GT-R`s are about that)

Ok - I currently own a '97 NSX but am trying to sell it so I can buy a gtr r34. I have driven both cars and there are plusses to both. Off the line the GTR kicks it's ass but once up to speed and through the windy stuff (but not extreme 1st gear stuff) the NSX is un-believable. But the GTR can be more fun as the NSX sticks like a train on rails whist the GTR gets a little more outta control - in a controlable fashion. When the NSX starts to go - its gone! (Does that make sense!?)

Internally the NSX is beautiful and unbelievably comfortable - which is where the extra $$$ come into it. But there is a much greater potential for added aftermarket fun in a GTR.

AVO in Melb put a twin-turbo + intercooler package into an NSX (plus some other bits like fuel pumps, injectors etc) for a Targa Tas car but this left the car completely bootless and spare tyreless so basically it was a "race only" car.

Comptech in the USA build an awesome supercharger system with which you can start to get some scary figures out of one and keep it as a road car. But with this upgrade costing around the AUD$20K mark it still comes down to the fact that $$$ to $$$ there is nothing like a GTR for aftermarket fun.

ausGTR: just for reference,

in 1992 the R costed 110k NEW off the showroom floor, the NSX was 157K.

these days I think a NSX is around 220k?? or so, god knows how much an R34 R would be if they sold them here new but id say around 150k.

EDIT: just checked redbook.. the NSX is now ~250K.. ouch.

The NSX is very outdated these days. For that money I'd get a Porsche. The next generation is apparently in the pipeline so I hope they can somehow shoehorn a V8 or a V6 + turbo (unlikely). It definetly needs more poke.

I was thinking V10 - passing on some of their F1 technology which is what the NSX was originally meant to be all about - but it won't happen. Shame cause it would sure make one monster of a car!

From Wheels Jan 03:

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec:

"Mildly modified with a low-restriction air filter, a stormwater-drain exhaust system, and turbo boost pressure nudged to 1.05 bar (15.5psi)"

Price $120,000 (est)

Power to Weight 131kw/tonne (std) [YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!]

Top Speed 258km/h

0-100 4.50sec

0-400m 12.72 @ 179.8km/h

0-1k 23.13 @ 229.1km/h

Honda NSX Bone Stock:

Price $256,100

Power to Weight 146kw/tonne [hmmm]

Top Speed 245km/h

0-100 6.08sec

0-400m 14.23 @ 160.2km/h

0-1k 25.77 @ 208.4km/h

So it would seem that the GTR :Owned: the NSX.... I'm sure I've seen another mag get the NSX faster tho. 0-400 was more like 13.5...

i have an mpeg on my computer of an NSX, cant remmeber which version, it was dragging a car down the quarter mile, and it was driven by a qualified driver.

it did 12.9 secs stock.

It was drag racing an R33 GTR, which did a 12.7 pass.

We are talking about the fastest times ever, regardless of which year model and so on, the australian NSX's have generally been crap in yardstick acceleration figures.

We dont get the best nsx's here, and the ones tested in the magazines are fast at all.

That R34 GTR that was in wheels magazine was an N1 spec, and it was modified, and u want to compare it against a stock australian NSX?

:)

The NSX and the GT-R are totally different cars doing a similar job: going effing quick.

GT-R is a 2+2 techno wizz coupe while the NSX (and NSX-TypeR) were designed as town-friendly supercars that your granny could drive to the shops.

For the record, the NSX won the first TWO targa tassies in the hands of Greg Crick. Richo wasn't driving in it back then and even when he entered his R32 GT-R he didn't do very well. Not until Porsche power anyway...

Hmmm no. The GTR in the Jan 03 edition was not the N1. You're thinking of an earlier issue with the comparison with the HSV.

I checked the results on Japanese Best Motoring videos. In January 1992 they tested an NSX and an R32 GTR. The NSX did 400m in 13.59 and lapped Tsukuba in 1:08.72. The GT-R did 13.26 and 1:08.48.

In May and June 1993 They tested the lighter NSX-R (not available in Australia) and the R32 GT-R V-Spec. The NSX-R did 400m in 13.06 seconds and lapped Tsukuba in 1:06.46, while the V-Spec did 12.85 seconds and 1:07.45.

Looking at later videos it seems the NSX is generally a little faster around a circuit and a little slower across 400m, so they are really a very close match.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
