$120k for the nsx

It had 6k on the clock, aust delivery and mint cond

:D

must be absolutely showroom condish, hope you dont park in your driveway out in the weather!

i have 2 skylines, and you make me feel poor lol :)

holy moly!

give anyone here 120k for a car and you'll find a 34GTR in their driveway.

Either that or THREE R33GTR's!!!

OR SIX!! GTR32's! bwahaha

maybe we need a thread titled "what id do with 120k" :)

personally id go all out on a 33GTR for street, add all the fruit, plus a 32GTR track rat. ahhhh....

what was this thread about again? :D

If you have enough coil to spend 120K on a second car why oh why did you waste ur time building a fake R34 GTR when u could have got 1 for far less than 120K???

Gordo a Type R badge would be better than just a civic one :)

Looks really good!

But.....i agree with everyone that says the GTR badges don't belong there, because its not a GTR. I mean, i know people that are like "I beat a GTR the other day" in their VL Turbos.......

Still, not as bad as badging the car without any conversions.....

Nice job overall......personally I'd sell it an buy a GTR, but I can understand if you're attached.

also I brought a 99 NSX 8 months ago and am broke due to Payments on that
Becase I wanted a nsx also

THey are my two fav cars

So you own your 2 favorite cars and you have a loan?

I thought I had a problem with wasting money on cars. Atleast I own my car (not bagging you just think its a little silly to own 2 expensive cars and have a loan for them).

Greg

exactly!

btw there's no shame about being beaten by a VL turbo these days, there are so many friggin quick ones, and autos very easy to launch. And anyway they are still using the same basic NISSAN powerplant! So its not exactly being beaten by holden, even if the dude in the VL thinks it is :D

True, but still.

VL Turbos shouldn't be beating so called "GTRs" <_<

Fcuk man, im with Greg^^^^^^^A loan for these two cars is crazy!!

Take the GTR badges off too! It will never be a GTR; i'd be soooo uneasy driving around with that number plate too.

Why do you want to make it into a GTR? Find a bit of individuality and develop a car thats customised to your taste and needs. Ive got a GTR engine in my GTST but id never want to make people think its a genuine GTR.

I own the gtr out right, and the price on the nsx is going up due to them not making them anymore, mine was one of the last with the pop up head lights, so what I have a loan on one car, I own more the 60% of the nsx.. Thats all I wanted an nsx and an r34

Nice cars,

I've been thinking nsx for my next car....as for the badging and finance I'm with the mob, do you really think the nsx wont depreciate? There are not many late model cars that don't. Appreciation in cars usually comes with age and rarity unless it's a noted race car or extremely rare. I'm not saying you'll do your $$ but I doubt it'll be worth more in 2-4yrs time than what you paid for it today.

But I may be wrong...

Still must be a shit load of fun to drive.

/edit

*yep I'm jealous...damn that nsx is hawt!!

    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
