2008 Honda Nsx Ii


Recommended Posts

I quite like it, but for some reason when I saw the dead straight ahead view thought it could be the next Mazda RX-8 Facelift. Maybe it's just me... :D

None of the other views remind me of Mazda, just the straight ahead for some reason... :wave:

lol, have yous read a bit down? some dude asks "why awd"

some peeps have no idea......

I think its a valid question. The last NSX did quite well considering it was RWD. And there are some pretty quick RWD cars out there on the market.

And, as a pure tarmac-based sports car, I would have thought RWD would make for a better choice. Like one of the other people on that forum, I think RWD would suit the spirit of the NSX far better than AWD.

some might have suggested the same thing when the r32 was made also

Rumors are that Ferrari is also looking at developing an AWD system that's RWD most of the time, and only channels torque to the front wheels when needed.

When I read this month's Motor, all I could think was "Welcome to where Nissan was 15 years ago".

Then again, Ferrari's been crapping on about how advanced their e-Diff is in the F430....something that the Honda's already dropped when they discontinued the ATTS equipped Prelude.

But, in the same way, I don't think Ferraris should be AWD either. Its not a part of their branding.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
