Sargasm 2 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) It's not a bad looking car, though it's not a good looking car either haha. Kinda looks like an R8 from the front and an Aston from behind. Edited January 11, 2012 by Sargasm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docile 64 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) quite like it as well it does look like a r8 and an aston at the back... so did the 240z to many other cars in its time especially the E type. kinda looks like a car that would transform into a robot its going to be a cornering monster like the gtr Edited January 11, 2012 by Docile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 512 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 The first version gain my respect when one finished third at Bathurst hrs despite hitting a wall at 180 kmh in practice. They needed two jigs to straighten the chassis it was that strong. Honda NZ also had a policy of not supporting Jap imports which did well to protect resale values which are still high now if you can get one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 which will be fastest around the top gear track .... BMW i8 or the Honda NSX? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 The old NSX will never die! That is a true 90s supercar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docile 64 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 The only Honda to hold its value? they still selling circa $40k still. manuals cost more and the Type R cost an arm and a leg still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I'd possibly give an arm for a Type R NSX, trademe have no NSXs on it at the mo, one went for 70k odd late last year. I stand corrected: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-439322761.htm Badassness! And the clip that comes with it: . Edited January 24, 2012 by Greg.

Docile 64 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 yeah seen that one. its a bottom spec nsx. auto too. last year IIRC there was 3 nsx for sale in trademe. none were manuals. was in a subaru workshop 6 years ago at east auck. the guy had 2 nsx in bits on pallets stored up in the garage. ask him what he was doing with it. he said he was rebuilding it but dont have the time now. he offered me each for 25k not assembled. I would give a kidney for a type R NSX!! need two arms and 2 legs to enjoy it a 1992 Type R nsx still sells quite hefty probably priced around 50+kNZD base models 30k NZD. there is a 2002 type R in ebay atm (the only type r ive seen for sale lately) selling price of 114k USD ~>145k NZD they hold their price way more than most mercs and bmw lol.

Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Hold price simply because they are rare. An 02 Type R would be epic! The auto on trademe would still be a nice car, got to 150kph pretty quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Honda NZ also had a policy of not supporting Jap imports which did well to protect resale values which are still high now if you can get one. What do you mean by "not support Jap imports"? Do Honda NZ not service them or won't get parts for them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 512 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 My understanding is that when these where first released Honda wouldn't support getting parts or servcing to protect values for current owners for what was a top of the line offering. A well heeled friend of mine looked into importing one about a year after they came out and that is what a dealer told him. Mostly likely different now.

Stock standard NSXs will still set you back at least $45K to land a high km auto example, anything manual will be $60K plus.

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) What do you mean by "not support Jap imports"? Do Honda NZ not service them or won't get parts for them? In the early 90's, nearly all the NZ Car importers did the same. We used to have to use NZ new chassis numbers from another car to buy parts for Jap imports we were working on. After a while they all woke up to the missed opportunity of selling parts. This also lead to the private parts importers that further hit the dealers hard and this continues to this day. When dealers realised the mistake they had made, many did jap import only recalls to replace minor parts for free to get a customer data base for sending out literature to try a gain back lost business. I could name a few of these but I better not. Someone else might like to though. Edited January 26, 2012 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
