Try dropping member 'Sudesh' a line as he's on that side of the water ...

It reads well and if it still has the 3.2 / 6 speed then it will be quite unique! I say this as they have recently advertised that they were going to return to a stock 3.0 / 5 speed set up ....

Best you get in touch swiftly. I know another owner bought quite a few late parts from Ice and he was very pleased with speed and accuracy..

Good Luck,

Paul

The 3.2 engine is staying but the gearbox has been replaced by a 5 speed box. I thought the 3.2 engine would be more better suited with a 6 speed box.Please if you know the history of this car then please can you post,and thank you again.Rocco

The guys at Icetronix seem a fair bunch in my experience as I bought several high value items from the 3.2 donor car that the engine and gearbox came from. Always accurately described and packaged well. They are very approachable although all the staff sound the same and it's hard to know who your talking to at first!!

This car was mechanically upgraded but as was mentioned earlier, the car was now being standardised. This was because the sellers didn't think that buyers realised the value in the later engine and gearbox. They decided to sell the car more mechanically standard to be able to sell the car at the price a prospective buyer would expect for that age of car. The gearbox has been sold (I could have and seriously considered buying it) to another forum member who has an earlier, longer ratio'd gearbox, so will see real benefits. I already have the JDM shorter ratio'd five speed box in my 96 car so the differences weren't so great but nonetheless a six-speeder would have been nice for the "kudos" but couldn't justify to myself the expense.

I've never seen the car and normally (depending on where you are) I'd say jump on a cheap flight to Dublin and take a look but that's not so easy moment!! Pricewise I can't be sure what to advise having never seen it....

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice! Ive decided that this car is not for me,as when i look at the pictures i noticed that they didnt paint the engine bay area,and also no phone calls back from the seller,as ive tried several times gitting hold of Robbie and he dosent want to return my calls.Saying that ive managed to secure a deal on another NSX totally standerd and should be with me in the next coupple of days(fingers crossed).Again thanks for all the feedback.Cant wait to get my NSX i feel the same way when i bought my Gallardo two years ago(now sold).Will post some pics if the deal goes through.Thanks again.

Well I can't say that I was too happy with them when they sold me a part and then sold it for more to another member of this board. This is a fact and can be corroborated if need be.

They offered me a discount on the next one. :rolleyes:

Which one did you buy ... the white one? Are you the young lady that I was talking to at Japfest who sat in my White/Black NSX? If yes, HI again and congratulations on buying your NSX.
