Anyway Possible At All To Import An Nsx


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

unfortunately I am strongly considering selling my skyline, after 6 years of love and about 50k spent I have my heart solemly swept by 2 cars, one being of course 34GTR the other being an Honda NSX.

I am seeing some beautiful NSX's coming up on draganddrift.com in the circuit section, however, these were banished with the new SEVS scheme, if i recall correctly.

Now every so often personal imports can come through etc etc, also I have heard of some other ways of getting special cars in (some are starting low volume imports of the 35GTR if I am not mistaken)

What options do I have in getting an NSX to my door. think can do, not cant do :-) surely there must be a way?

Surely SOMEONE out there must know a way to get one in, low volume import?personal import?your assistance is needed.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Any ideas anyone?

I saw a few questions regarding NSX's recently in the general forum so this maybe not only beneficial to myself but also others.

If NSX's can still be imported/compliance plates given let me know.

Thanks

They were sold new in Australia for a time, so your chances are not good.

Check for anyone offering compliance (doubtfull)

Additionally the Japanese know the value of the late model versions and some of them go for huge money.

Why not just try & find one locally?

they cannot be imported or complied under any current scheme. the ONLY ways are personal import (completely impractical unless you live in japan) or race only import. if you want one for road use the only viable option is to buy one that is already here.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
