I was looking at NSXs a few days ago... was dissapoint

I had to re-read the for sale ads a couple of times because I thought there was something wrong with my eyes... but there it was on every ad, AUTO... FFS this makes no sense to me!

Any way these can be brought in ? Looking locally, there isn't much around. Most seem to go for $50-60k and up and is virtually impossible to find a manual...

Some are 20 years old now. Can get them for around $30k from the US - LHD obviously

Love the NSX - was my dream car, but damn those prices are pretty much R34 GTR money.

Yeah no idea why they even made them with a slush box.

But then again people where whinging that the macca f1 and fezza f50 were manual only

As much as I cannot figure out why anyone would ever want an auto NSX - guess that there are so many of the fkn things about tells you why Honda offered them like that.

I was looking at one the other week. I reckoned given it is a 20 year old design it stands up really well. The car was in really good nick too - it had done something like 200,000kms.

Kinda read the thread, scanned over Zebra's sandy-vag posts when he started jibber-jabber about rotten 348 Fezzas :P

The NSX is a good thing, and a great thing in 3.2 litre form. I've driven a 3 litre in auto and manual, and passengered in a 3.2 manual. The auto was truly appalling, and the factory tuned them for less power (like an RX8) 180KW was the auto number from memory, with 205KW for the manual in 3 litre form. The auto really was a farken marshmellow. My theory is many rich blokes bought their wives one to look sporty and sexy, but drive easily.

I'd LOVE a Type R of any vintage, later the better though. It would need to be a truly special R34 GTR to make me choose the GTR is the price were similar. It's not ALWAYS about outright grunt you heathens! :)

Besides muscle car replicas, there aren't much you can buy for the money that will pull as many stares = value for money. Reliability and part replacement is the only thing that would concern me in owning one.

NSX was and still is the best looking car that ever* came out of Japan. FD RX7 a close second. Come at me brah.

we are on the same page marlin. if i'd seen a nice 02 model NSXR for $75K that was in decent nick I'd probably be going to the bank too... agree as well that it'd need to be a special R34 to make me want it over a nice NSXR. yeah I've driven the manual and it was fking lovely. passenger in the auto and it was rubbish, I was offered a drive and actually didn't want to... :( very rare for me as i'll drive anything.

anyway, all we can do is dream as there are just not many good ones out here.

well its a Honda so reliability not a huge issue and they made plenty of the world wide so I'm sure in the age of the internet parts would be easy enough to get your hands on

NSX > FD.................. massive call brah! I'll have one of each :worship:

That is how they should look.

Not a fan of GT wings on them

yeah I love the FD. they got it right with the last series 8 models. they just look perfect. all I did to mine was carbon mirror panels (covers the little triangle where mirrors are normally mounted). I'd have one again. they are also beautifully balanced and so fun to drive.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
