Finally, some of the parts started to arrive at my place after long delay caused by the recent snow.

I’m still waiting for two more packages as well as the parts from local Honda but for now, the most significant bits are already here.

    Hey Kaz.
    thanks for all the blog work you have contributed! I am trying to upgrade my ABS, and it appears that Honda has increaded the price for the modulator by $2000.00USD. Can you provide where you ordered all the pieces to do your upgrade?

    Thanks again. I love reading your blogs.

    Hi,warrenw.
    Thank you for your comment.

    Yes, here on NSXCB, we also discussed about the sudden huge increase on price of the ABS modulator.

    I don't know the reason behind this as ABS upgrade is very popular in Japan (100's of NSX being converted and still on going) and yet the price of the modulator is still the same as before.

    I normally order the parts from Japan, US and UK.

    For ABS upgrade, please refer to the following link for the parts list, procedure and so on.

    From your comment, looks like you own LHD NSX.

    If that is the case, you should be able to get hold of most of the parts from US Acura dealer at discounted price.

    Please note that my parts list in the above link is for the RHD model.

    It is much easier to install the brake pipes on LHD NSX than the RHD one.

    For the ABS modulator 57110-SL0-Z03, it is the same between LHD and RHD models.

    I ordered it from Japan.

    As of last week, it was JPY80,400 within Japan.

    Unlike the Acura dealership, all Honda parts within Japan will be sold to the customer at the retail listed price everywhere in Japan without any discounts.

    Only those who has direct relationship with Honda or involved in parts business will be able to purchase it with some discount.

    Therefore, if you are buying it over the internet, please allow some extra cost for the delivery, duty/tax and of course the profit for the parts companies.

    Please note that it was out of stock for many months and it could be the same when you place an order.

    Good luck with your upgrade. One of the best thing you can do on the earlier models.

    Regards,
    Kaz
