The JDM Appreciation Thread...

No, no, noes.

I'm saying they made an NSX Type-R in the early 90's. I've even found it on Gran Turismo 4. And they're sticklers for detail. I'll get a pic tonight.

The second iteration of the car, in '01/'02 was dubbed NSX-R.

Both were JDM-only.

Wikipedia says your wrong Chris, despite your sweet face, I'm with bert-man on this.

Hmm..

This is from Wiki...

"Honda produced a very limited number of NSX type R in 1992 for Japan. Major changes include a more aggressive suspension and an extensive weight reduction to 1230 kg from the normal NSX weight of 1350 kg. The NSX type R was very track oriented as it lacked sound deadening, audio, electric windows, and air conditioning in an effort to reduce weight. The NSX type R's role was replaced by the NSX type S Zero in 1997"

And then...

"A second iteration of the type-R dubbed NSX-R was released in 2005, again exclusively in Japan. The NSX-R has a more aggressive rear spoiler and hood vent, along with various refinements to reduce weight to 1270 kg. Under the body, panels and air fences in the front, along with a small rear diffuser serve to produce balanced downforce. The subtle changes along with its renowned handling have kept NSX-R in contention on the track even against considerably higher-powered cars, such as the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, whose Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time it nearly tied."

From wiki
First Generation NSX-R (JDM)
Beginning in 1992 Honda produced a limited number of 483 NSX-Rs exclusively for the Japanese domestic market (JDM). Major changes include a blueprinted engine producing 280 bhp (209 kW) in stock form, a different final ratio for the gearbox, a more aggressive suspension and an extensive weight reduction to 1230 kg (2712 lb) from 1350 kg (2976 lb). The NSX-R was very track oriented as it lacked sound deadening, audio and air conditioning in an effort to reduce weight. However, these items were available for a hefty premium as optional items. Production ended in 1994.

It's like Brasil. Just because we stick a z in there, doesn't make it correct, it's brasil. The japs had it as nsx-r, we call it type r. IIRC there's no type r badges on the nsx r.

At least it has the correct rear bumper. In GT4 they have the neither the correct rear bumper or lights...or badge.

 

[Christopher]

I'm going to say you win. Until i check GT4 later.

 

[Englebert]
