This NSX just missed the mark as homage to the old one.

Just feels like there needs to have been 3 cars in between them to see them as part of the same thing.

This comment nails it for me. While the new one looks great and by all accounts is an amazing machine, I feel like it just looks like any other modern supercar. The original nsx really looks like nothing else.

As above, maybe if we had seen it develop into this through model generations I would be more excited about its looks.

I'm a Honda fan from way back, but the new NSX just leaves me a little cold. Maybe it's because the original was designed and built in Japan, with the input of Ayrton Senna, while the new one was designed and built in America, with the input of every barrow-pushing, hipster-chasing marketer in the area. While the original raised the bar and forced the supercar manufacturers to up their game, the new NSX feels more like it's chasing the pack. And struggling.

They should have built a road-going version of the HSV-010 GT, and screw the environmental BS. IMO of course.

I dont have much nostalgia for the classic NSX, in theory it would be a great car to own but my view is a little jaded. maybe because Maerica can get NSX's but not GTRs, so they go nuts on making abominations of the NSX platform.

Ive seen that Jay Leno video and that new car has lots of interesting bits and pieces and even got my a little bit hyped for it. Its actually a supercar i dont mind looking at, for a change.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      So I put it to 3bar (43.5psi) while priming. It stays at 43.5~ as I crank shakes slightly. Ive also tried dropping pressure to see if that changes anything. I replaced the fuel dampener because I was troubleshooting the system along with the stock FPR (swapping them one by one to rule them out). But i only got up to changing the dampener and it started running again. Injectors are stock second hand. I did a bench test on both my original ones and the secondhand ones. The second hand injectors I have in the car now spray slightly stronger than my original injectors.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I knew Andy from about then, it did some cool stuff. By 2005/2006 era, he also implemented closed loop ignition timing tuning. In 2004 it was pretty cool, being with him when he was doing automated fast self learning tuning!

      Im No tuner but…. im running a 25det with north of 600wkw at 9000rpm e85 and water meth. G40 1150 on 32psi. Having a real built head will flow a crap ton more power but you being stuck at 7600 won’t be helping at all, throw all the boost you can and nothing will happen. Solid lifter and 9000rpm is the only way,  I have built my motor 3 times, not from engine failure but more along the lines of my failures in not understanding engine parts better, basic phrase to help, “block hold power”  “head make power”

      What's the fuel pressure while the car is cranking? Curious, why did you replace the fuel damper? What injectors are you using, are they brand new?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I think it's terrible value, it should be half that price IMO. And I'm known as someone who will unironically suggest the GTIII-SS on the RB26 if you have very specific requirements. The GCG RB25DET "hybrid turbo" is 1/3rd the cost of this GTIII-RS kit and sounds like it should fit with zero modifications. Talk to Hypergear as well, maybe they can do something that fits your requirements.
