i would say because the 89 models are pretty rare, and would be very expensive in japan just like any of the old Skylines ie 72model GTR GC210 or 110 whatever they are, if they werent rare we would be seeing them popup on the japanese importer sites like j-spec or prestige motorsport, but until this day i have never seen on on either of those sites...

The NSX wasnt released until 1990 so that is the reason. I had a chance to purchase a 1990 model for $40,000 but I would have been unable to register it until next year. I love the NSX.

are you sure they didnt come out in 89 because im sure ive seen on a Japanese website an owner of a 89 model Honda NSX but this could also be wrong?

Justin is spot on, they are 1990 and the cheapest ones are Autos and they are by no means cheap at all...so you can imagine how expensive a manual one is. Even the Japanese feel these cars are expensive, not to mention there really isn't that many here...I'd even say there weren't many sold globally in other countries as well.

Looking at the import side of things, if they're such a bargain you wouldn't be the first to know. 40K+GST+import tax, makes the local ones a bargain...is what I tell everyone.

along with wat everyone else says, all the older ones have been in accidents and with an all aluminium frame, it wouldnt be a good idea to buy one.

Spot on again...aluminium panels cannot be repaired, they have to be bought new and do you know how expensive Honda sells them?

Nice try though...I don't know how many people I've already told who thought they were onto a gold mine.

Yep, NSX sold from 1990... September 1990 in fact.

 

NSXs are so sought after in Japan, even the cheapest, most poorly kept auto trans shitter 3.0L '90 model still commands 2.5 million yen...

Don't get me wrong, i'd love a NSX, but why are they so sought after? They overall better than a GTR or RX-7 are they???

They always been 3ltr V6??'s ?

the originals wer 3L v6 but then they wer changed to 3.2L v6

The reason they are so sought after is because they are Japans only true Supercar. Mid engine layout, Normaliy Aspirated, Lightwight, Brilliant Handling, a True Sports car. That is why i believe they are a sought after item.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.

      I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
