I mean we would all love a manual NA2 NSX but finding one for sale is next to impossible. I will keep my eye out... Or perhaps just build this one into my ideal car.
        Congrats on getting it earlier than you anticipated !

        Anyone know if there actually are any road registered NA2 NSX in Aus ? Wonder if they are importable as there are a few nice ones on Importmonster.

          Thanks man.

          NA2 just means 3.2L. So anything from 97 onwards. There are a few facelift NA2 (fixed headlights, not popup) in the country, but not many.

          I think the only way to import an NSX is privately if you owned the car in Japan etc for > 12 months.

            Nice tyres! Hopefully the weights are now inside the rim behind the spokes?

              Oh Right. Always thought NA2 meant Gen 2/Facelift only.

              Lets hope they officially bring the new NSX to Australia in a couple of years..

                Yep, they are. Unfortunately the rims are a bit rashed in spots so they need a repaint... All in time

                        Looking good Cam. Car seems quite low with the stock suspension.

                          Probably 22 year old spring sag! It does seem a bit lower than it probably should be - you need to lift the car a fraction to get the hoist pads under the jacking points...
                          I'm looking at suspension options at the moment. Still leaning toward OEM NA2 NSX-R suspension, although if I want ride height adjustment that isn't possible. There are a few other nice options available though, too.

                          The new Bridgestone RE002 all round have made a fantastic difference. The steering feel is far more communicative and the car is much much quieter. A nice side effect.

                            How much mileage is on the car, and if its not rude to ask, how much cashola did you have to part with to score this beauty?

                              Lots of km's! 289,000. The car was daily driven for a large part of its life, but very easy milage. I'd probably prefer not to say what I paid - hope you understand

                              Ordered some more general maintenance parts earlier in the week:

                              RH Tie rod & Rack end (some movement there, and looks like the LHS tie rod has been replaced previously as it looks newer)
                              OEM CV Boot kits x 4 + OEM axle seals (one boot is split, and while I've got the axles out I might as well refresh all 4 boots)
                              Knock sensors x 2 (DTC logged for front bank knock sensor - might as well replace both while the inlet manifold is off)
                              OEM IM gaskets (for knock sensor job)
                              O2 sensors x 2 (DTC logged for O2 sensor - rear bank)

                              Looking forward to getting the steering parts done so I can put the car on the wheel aligner and tinker with all of these adjusters!

                                Cam where you are getting your OEM parts from?

                                Bilstein shocks look like a good option, has two height settings and from what I've read very comfortable around town. If they're comparable to the Evo Performance Pack Bilsteins then they would be pretty good.
