Nah- any decent auto glass shop can do it. I'm doing the R divider too.
That’s my plan, leave it to the professionals.Nah- any decent auto glass shop can do it. I'm doing the R divider too.
Headed to Japan for a couple of weeks. Let's see what I can find for the NSX out there.
My buddy already has a bunch of my parts sitting at his place in Tokyo.
02R black perforated suede door cards
02R twin spline shaft
02R interior door sash - matte black
OE Exterior door sash
02R door arm rest - smooth leather to match 02R arm rest
Type S exterior door handles - grey "NSX" logo
T3Tec LW Flywheel (twin disc version)
Deciding if I should go with the OEM twin disc clutch or OS Giken that T3Tec offers?
Might stop by T3Tec to pick up some other things as well.

We might be looking at "003" here...
I'd stick with the OEM twin disc and the T3 flywheel. I have this combo (Jun flywheel) and it is fabulous. Easy to drive too.
I am super jealous that you get to go there! Also consider the T3 A/C compressor guard (if you have headers) and the T3 crank pulley guard. I would also ask about Honda parts chain discontinuation and the refresh center and report back here.

Look for the Honda or Acura wheel centre caps in Washi Grey - they are more classy than the BBS ones IMHO
I was leaning towards OEM clutch, read some good things about OS Giken - but I think I'll stick with OEM. Thanks @Honcho
Will definitely ask about the parts situation and refresh program out there.
Yes! Been meaning to find some, I think the correct Type S Zero Washi Grey caps have a white "H"? would prefer it in black but I could be wrong.
The Giken clutches are very nice, but finicky and require adjustment. OEM is plug and play.
Here are the Washi "H" Caps:
Also, I just remembered- if you haven't already, buy a set of targa seals in Japan. These are vital for the T-top and may be discontinued soon.
Got back from my Japan trip 3 weeks ago and finally had some time to install some of the parts I picked up.
Perforated suede door cards from Studio6zero
02R Jersey mesh A pillars
OEM Type S exterior door handle (grey logo)
OEM exterior door sash
OEM interior door handle with black perforated leather and black handle
OEM door panel lining
02R vapor barrier (no holes for speakers)
02R door arm rest (smooth leather)
92R interior sash cover (matte black, matches radio delete cover)
Picked up some Mugen goodies at A PIT Autobacs too.
Started off by clean the tacky stuff off using WD40, works wonders. Lots of elbow grease and dirty rags.
02R door armrest vs stock - smooth leather to match the 02R center armrest
Door cards look amazing, don't expect anything less from Studio6Zero, they hand delivered these to me at my hotel to make sure I got them before I left.
Nothing too exciting for most, but for me the details are worth it.
Interior is probably done for now. Can't believe it's been over a year since taking delivery of the car.
Next up:
H&R Wheel spacers install
Brake refresh w/ 02R slotted rotors and Endless pads/SS brake lines
OEM 02R input shaft with OEM twin disc clutch (ordered)
T3 LW Flywheel
single pane typeS/R window (ordered)
Fujitsubo Super Ti exhaust (ordered)

Kev, where did you order your rear glass from?
IMPEX Parts. Most of my OEM parts come from them. They've delivered on hard to get parts for me in the past.
Cool- I just ordered about $7k in parts from them lol. Good to know they ship glass!

Hi Kev, I've been enjoying your thread this quiet morning. Really love the philosophy of your build. OEM plus is the way to go, IMHO. These cars are so rare, so special, and so well thought out from the factory, that a degree of caution must used when tinkering. Your build, Honcho's build (and many others on here) are examples of the right way to do it, because they preserve what makes the car great in the first place.
I have this theory that major manfucaturers have to make compromise after compromise to bring their ideas into production. The wise modifications are those that Mother Honda would have done if the bean counters and regulatory nannies were not involved. When we see Type S, Type R, Type Zero versions of the NSX, it's Honda nudging closer to what they are capable of doing. It's only when some hamfist at Bob's garage starts messing with the car, bolting on 40 pound wheels and gluing body parts on it that things can go off the rails. Well done and keep up the good work (which in my book means keep spending tons of money on all those JDM parts)
Air cooled Porsches and my NSX will probably be the only cars left in my garage on the day they put me in the ground. All the rest are just passing fancies. (I may have to make an exception for my NC1 Type S).
