Thanks! Boy thank God those were just excessories. Makes the car look like K.I.T.T on the last season of Knight Rider:wink:

 

[NSX02]

It just looks wrong...
Someone who got that car and didn't know it was so rare would probably take off half the stuff they added to it.

I think it looks ugly as heck...the normal style looks so much better!!!

Great info! Does that 1997 to 2001 NSX S number include the Zanardi's or are those separate?

Thanks.

Seeing how only 5 were built, and sold for roughly US$500K each, I think whoever has one knew exactly what they were buying.

I believe that the body mods were primarily done to achieve some type of homologation for the Super GT series. From Road and Track:

Because JGTC cars must be homologated with production cars, Honda needed to create this road car so they could make radical changes to their JGTC racers. Okay, so Honda plans to sell only five of them...but it qualifies under JGTC rules as a production car.​

The new car is longer and wider than the stock NSX (188.6 in. and 78.3 in., respectively), but most other dimensions stay the same, such as overall height, wheelbase and front and rear track widths. The major change here is the carbon-fiber body, designed to create all kinds of downforce. There's a snorkel on the rear hatch, but for the production cars it's non-functional. The engine is largely left alone, with no major tweaks to the suspension either.​

This is a car that was created for the sole purpose of fulfilling a requirement in the JGTC rules. Honda wants to win these races and is serious about it. Whether it sells the NSX-R GT is secondary...although we hear one order already has been received. ​

Stated by Road and Track regarding the "body" are CF. I believe the panels are, not chassis. Because I saw the Japanese brochure, the Weight is listed identical as the Standard "R," which is at 1270 kg. Perhpas the weight savings helped compensate for the Snorkel, large F/R bumpers and other add-on's.

but y0u kn0w y0u'd take it in a sec0nd if it was 0ffered t0 y0u :wink: :biggrin:

Offhand, does anyone know how to read the JDM Chassis #s?

For example, we know that for US models, 5S000123 would be 2005 car, #123rd built.

I'm looking at a 2005 Japanese Type-R plate now, and it has this format:

R****
20000**

Chassis # is NA2-20000**

Anyone know how to decode this?

 

[Zanardi 50]

I believe it all depends on whether the production numbers shown are WORLDWIDE production figures or JAPANESE DOMESTIC figures. I'm convinced that it's the former and that 51 of the 209 (1/4ths) Type S produced from '97-'01 are Zanardi's, which makes them rarer to find in Japan than previously thought. AFAIK, the only Type S available outside of Japan are the Zanardi editions available exclusively in the U.S.

Hmm.....come to think of it, save for 2 (or 3, including Button's own car?) NA2 Type R's that made its way to the British Isles, there aren't any other performance-enhanced version NSX's available OUTSIDE of Japan beside the 51 Zanardis.

Missing a few colors. The #s might not be 100% correct as I added them year by year manually.
