NSX type R hand built in japan..

goes very damn good for it's lil 3.2 N/a engine

such a great car.

stock to stock

a NSX-R has eaten R34 GTR VSP this was in BMI vids

the NSX-R lost to lambo's in a circuit battle due to straight line speeds of the monster 6L cars.

but managed to kill the lambos in the corners and stayed infront of the 911 TT and the M3 CSL and the 360 Modena with F50 brembos

i personally think it's the greatest japanese sprots car but the price tag is a bit...:P

The handling of NSX is fine tuned by ex - F1 racer Senna

and the first aluminum chassis of the world back in 90's

how much an audi ask for a car with aluminium chassis, even they are now doing it in mass production with today technology?

not to mention the titaninum con-rod in those late model 3.2L engine...

and the much much better balancing job of the engine

good stuff never equal to value for money

i don't rate GTR as a super car but NSX

but i will take a R34 GTR over a NSX

Ok - I've owned both so I feel some what in a position to talk about this topic (and not for the first time one here! LOL)

One of the biggest problems in this arguement is what we are basing the NSX on. Are we talking about NSX's as available in Japan (such as the Spec R) or just whats available here in Oz. An R34 GTR would seriously whip an Oz NSX in any race you want to have.

The main reason why I sold my NSX to buy an R34 GTR was because the Oz delivered NSX was very difficult to do anything with other than what it came stock as without spending a pointless amount of $$$. Apparently the diff's in the normal NSX were not designed to take any extra power. And upgrading the diffs was a very expensive exersize - not to mention that finding anyone that know's what they are doing on an NSX in Oz is also very limmited.

The GTR with very little spent on it so far out performs the NSX that its not funny. If I had access to an NSX R then the story would be different. But we can't get them here.

One thing about the NSX though is the refinement. Its something the GTR lacks. The GTR really is a race car. The NSX is a Grand Tourer. So it depends on what you are after. And it depends on what you define as a supercar. For me - the R34 is much better than the NSX ever was. But my wife prefered the NSX.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
