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.

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
