    Here's NA2 NSX-R

    Anorak moment: What's interesting, is that it seems the speedo on the NA1 moves faster, and 'tops out' while the NA2 doesn't. This also happens in the Senna video. Does the NA1 speedo not have as high max speed as the NA2?
    If your fear of staying alive, outweighs the thrill of making the corner, brake.

    Don't JDM NSX's have speedo's marked upto 180Kph (111.6mph) unless you specially order a 300kph one?
    I suspect the NA1 in the video had a 180Kph speedo and no mph conversion wheras the NA2 had the 300kph speedo OR the 180Kph one coverted to show mph.

    My car has the 180Kph dial with a Kph to mph convertor (a signal convertor) on the gearbox sensor.

    NA1R speedo has 180 km/h dial,
    NA2R speedo has 300 km/h dial
    as standard speedos.
    Both have yellow needles as special sign.

    km/h to mph convertor (signal convertor) on the gearbox ?
    Do you have a picture or part number?
    We do the conversions from km/h to mph at the speedo circuit
    board electronic here.

    Ah-ha, so in the Senna videos, when we thought he's driving along at 180mph he's not!

    I can take him:p .

    ...although to be fair, he is at a slight disadvantage these days

    I used to have the Hugo Boss loafers, but at £150 a pair I stopped buying them, they were comfy though
