Hi guys,
I was talking with a buddy that used to do car importation from germany (MB's) and we soon started talking about the NSX-R. He told me that to import one in here, we would need to do the following:
1. add the amber strip to the lights/side fenders
2. add emmisions items
3. install a regular nsx steering wheel with air-bag
4. install regular nsx seats
5. get a chassis cleaning done
6. make sure that the saftey bumpers and beams and other items match the ones on the regular NSX, if they are not there, put them on off an regular nsx.
7. Remove all type - r badging and replace with nsx badging, the wing one can stay, it can be considered an aftermarket add-on since it does not deal with saftey.
He said that by doing this and creating a False NSX, you can import an NSX-R under an NSX name, and add the other stuff back when you come back to the USA. As far as right hand drive, he said that it shouldn't really matter since kids are rolling around with r34's and other cars that are right hand drive. For those who have tried to import one, does this seem doable?
