NA1- NSX-R Exaust & Alloys

[Sudesh]

Sudesh I am pretty sure it was OEM, such low volume is bound to be discrepancies.

Yeah you could be right Ary! Done a bit more digging and found 3 part numbers now, and they are also listed on the UK parts system.

Listed for the NSX-R, BUT also on UK/Europe system is:
74650-SL0-000 £124.81 + vat

Also have: 74650-SL0-0010 £138.64 + vat and: 74650-SL0-A00 £124.81 + VAT

Was trying to look at some pics I have but hard to tell as I dont have any that really show that low down of the rear.

Maybe Mark could have a look at his Type-S and let me know.

Ary,

I think you are correct!

I found this pic of what looks like the facelift NSX-R and the heatshield is Black. So I would say the NA1 NSX-R is the same.

I must have an NSX-R then Sudesh

That looks just like the underside of my NSX apart from the cats and exhaust .....

That would be a NO paul lol



From what I can gater from going through the UK/JDM and EU parts system, it would seem like Honda then installed the black heat shield to facelift NSX's as standard.

Missed this one...

Mine isn't black. I'd bet the NSX-R exhaust is the same as the regular cars (except for the tips style) i.e. quiet but not good for power.

As for the wheels, the original NSX-R came on 15/16 Enkie's so I don't think there's anything special or unique about them. The optional 16/17's look like regular NSX "Blades" and I very much doubt they're of differant construction, unless you count paint colour?

I have my doubt about NA2 NSX-R wheels as well, does anyone know for certain that they're really differant to regular >02 wheels... other than a differant colour?

Is there a theme here, paint it a differant colour so it has a differant p/n and call it unique to the R

At least the Type S/Zero wheels are properly unique

Cheers

I do wonder about the wheels

Next time I get new tyres I'll try and remember to get them weighed. Aren't they supposed to be 2 pounds lighter per wheel?

Something like that, but why oh why did they not give the NA2 facelifted cars at least 370 BHP, different car altogether.

Being a saddo, I just pulled out my 2003 JDM NSX-R (NA2) brochure and there's no mention of any weight saving for the wheels. NSXPrime claims an approx 1.6lbs saving per front wheel and 3.3lbs per rear but doesn't give a source... http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Wheel_Tech
IMHO if this were true Honda would have made more of a thing about it in the brochure, especially as they look identical and therefore the construction and/or material would have to be fairly special.

My 1997 JDM NSX (NA2) brochure claims a total saving of 4kgs in total for the 4x Type S/Zero BBS's. Prime claims 1.3lbs per front and 3lbs per rear. More plausible as they're a totally differant design.

Sounds like another NSX-R urban myth... lets see one on the TDI dyno

In the end with the NA2R they seem to keep on ignoring the big Elephant in the room.


The car needs more power!
