HEy GUYS!

Just wanted to know, what would be a fair price to pay for a GTR VSPEC 98 ? Does anyone know how many were made?

I saw a few GRIP videos and saw the NSX in action. They look awesome. But I don't think HONDA V6 VTEC is nothing compare to the RB26DETT.

GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY EITHER A GTR VSPEC or a NSX. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT AND WHY???

:D

Well infact snowman gave us a little review of both cars since he's owned both an NSX and now owns a GTR. Not word for word, but his final opinion was the GTR all the way. The NSX was more a cruiser, and less performance/driver car.

But to answer your question... depends, is the car a legit GTR?, do you want mods, and all I can say is good luck in finding good clean legit GTR, let alone the rarest of all the the Series 3 GTR's... hang I think mines for sale. :)

Even if not on a Skyline forum the NSX is an overpriced pile of crap. It's often referred to a rich man's Civic. The only reason it does so well in racing is because the track version is so far removed from the street version you're essentially only identifying the car by the shape.

In every market on the planet except for the US, the NSX is a very overpriced machine - the engine is at the limit to produce the power to do 5 sec 0-100 and 13 sec quarters.

The GT-R is an understressed motor that is at it's LOWEST state of tune to produce similar numbers.

The NSX is not a tuning, modding car unlike Skylines.

It is not 4wd and will not produce the all round performance of a Skyline.

It is a rare car though.

T.

thanks guy for your effort.

It makes more sense why one should buy a SKYLINE GTR instead of NSX in OZ land. They are practical in terms of performance and parts availability. I saw maybe 2 NSX within the last 6 months and more of GTRs. I thought they look pretty COOL, but at 65k for a 92 model....................ummmmhhhh.......QUESTION MARK

How many times have you seen someone bag out Skylines because they are too common? People are willing to pay for individuality and the NSX has it. Plus it's probably the best Honda has to offer in that area, and some people really like Honda.

Actually speaking to a guy at work the other day who plans to buy a NSX when the coin count allows. He loves them.

He says that all NSX engines are balanced/blueprinted and all hand built from factory. He says they also all have titanium rods and forged pistons I think.

He isnt one to make up crap so is this true?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
