    Speedo reads low when ambient temp is cold, accurate when hot

    Primers, First, details: 1990 Honda NSX that reads speed in kilometers per hour. I'm running into a head scratcher. I noticed a few months ago that I felt like I was going pretty fast down a stretch of road I normally take. Too fast. I used a GPS app to confirm my suspicion that I was going...

    Moving to DC area; local shops?

    Hey DC Primers, I'm a longtime owner now relocating from Texas to the DC area. Looking forward to meeting up and driving with some local owners and seeing who everyone goes to for maintenance. I'm a couple years out from another timing belt/water pump but want to start getting an idea ahead of...

    WTB: Canadian km/h speedometer

    Hey Primers, I'm looking for an early Canadian market OE speedometer that reads km/h outside (large white) and mph inside (small gray). I have an early Japanese market car and would like to swap over to the Canadian gauge to retain km/h for the odometer while having the mph readout. Please...

    Airline/Military Pilots and Hiring

    I figure there's at least a few NSXers out there that are either already airline pilots or working towards making the jump from mil/charter/regional. I'm a military guy myself with 1500TT, 500 PIC turbine and will probably come close to doubling that before I make the decision to stay in or...

    W211 (07-09) E63 AMG. Thoughts? Owners chime in?

    Hey Prime, I'm finally moving back to the US and am now scouring for a car to be my DD while the NSX remains a nice day/weekend car. I'm really attracted to the W211 Mercedes Benz E Class, particularly the AMG cars, and have been researching them over the past year. I've researched enough to...

    Moving to Abilene, TX. Any DFW members?

    Hey DFW Primers, I'm moving back to the US after spending almost 5 years in Japan. I've had my NSX for almost 2 years now and, though I'm pretty handy with the car, would be looking for a shop that could do some of the longer range maintenance. I've seen a thread by SCW Performance but wondered...

    New owner in West Tokyo

    Hey Japan Primers, I have a thread in the New Owners forum, but I figured I'd post here to see if anyone was local. I just bought NSX #3 from a dealer in Saitama. The yen rate has been really spectacular here lately, and I'm going to be here for another 2 years, so I thought it best to get...

    Back in the saddle again

    After kicking myself for 6 years for selling my last NSX, I finally found my way back into another. I had been stalking this car on the Japanese auto websites for 6 weeks exchanging messages back and forth with the dealer reps while in the US, then I drove out to see the car after getting back...

    Japanese Gran Prix 2014 - Suzuka - NSXPrime gathering

    Hey Japan Primers, I was not able to attend this year's Japanese GP at Suzuka due to being out of the country, but I'd like to see if we could get a little group together for the 2014 race at Suzuka. http://www.f1-fansite.com/2014-f1-calendar/ Calendar says 10-12 Oct, so either make it a...

    NSX on flatbed on Baltimore, MD interstate. Anyone?

    Looks to be a 97-01 spa yellow. Wonder if the truck had trouble and had to get towed somewhere. Anyone here?

    My 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R

    Hey Prime, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth, but I have been away from Prime and NSXs here for a bit while I take a detour. I moved to Japan about 6 months ago and have had alot of good car experiences since getting here, from the anxiety of driving on the left side of the road for...

    Working/Living in Tokyo - NSX content inside!

    Hey all, I haven't posted here on Prime in a little while. Was trying to get back into an NSX this time last year before I learned that I was moving to Japan. I finished that whole process in late November, so I've had a little time to go out and see a few things that I'd like to share with...

    Spotted GPW 92 in Sherwood (Little Rock) AR

    Are you on here? I saw your car at a storage unit and snapped a pic. Maybe new owner with the temp tag?

    Just purchased this beautiful 1970 Datsun 240Z Series 1

    Hey Primers, Some of you may or may not remember me as I've been out of the NSX game for about 3 years now, but I drove around an old '75 turbo Z for a time and had a thread about it at one time. I ended up selling it in July of last year to a nice police officer in San Antonio. :biggrin...

    Moving to Fussa. Anyone in the greater Tokyo area? Yokota?

    Hey international Primers. I just delayed my second NSX after learning that I'll be moving to Japan sometime next year. Anyone in the area? I've been trying to browse local auto classifieds, but it's very difficult! Thinking of delving into a GTR or just getting a RHD NSX.

    Would any Tampa, FL, owners mind checking out a car?

    WTB: OEM 16/17 94-01 wheels, prefer 97-01.

    Like the title states, I'm looking for a set of the updated 16/17 wheels like I had on my previous NSX. I will most likely be buying an early NA1 with the original 15/16s and would like the option to throw them on the car. Not looking for anything chrome. If you're willing to ship, I'm willing...

    1975 Datsun Z turbo. J spec ZG styled.

    Primers, I'm posting this ad as a feeler to see if there may be any interest in my old Z. I thought about selling the car awhile back when it had a fuel delivery/alternator issue, but troubleshot and solved it since. Price: $15000 Location: Del Rio, TX, but can easily get to San Antonio or...

    WTB: NSX around Fall 2011 timeframe

    Fellow Prime members, Ever since selling my last NSX, I have plotted my return to the NSX world and am now inching closer to being back in the saddle. Due to location reasons (no garage...not fitting for an NSX), I am purposefully holding off on purchasing another NSX until the fall of 2011...

    Early Black NSX spotted at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio TX

    While driving my Z on base, I was literally in the middle of thinking to myself, "Ya know, it's good I'm in the middle of nowhere and haven't seen an NSX in awhile or I'd really be tempted to do something stupid to get into one again," when I saw it. An early Berlina Black NSX sitting at the...

    Thinking of getting Masters online...advice?

    Hey Prime, I'm a student pilot for the Air Force down at Laughlin and I'm starting to think ahead toward getting my Masters. I know I'm going to get tied up here for the next year or so, but when I have a little time, I'd like to knock out my Masters possibly online since it's doubtful that...

    Man sells everything to buy Lamborghini and drive across the country

    http://jalopnik.com/5559767/i-sold-everything-to-buy-a-lamborghini-and-drive-across-the-country?skyline=true&s=i Cool story I thought. Some of his precepts and ideas about the car is true about the NSX as well. EDIT: Whoops! Realized this was posted in Owner's Discussion instead of Off Topic...

    My Datsun S30Z

    After regretfully selling my NSX, I bought a 1975 Datsun S30Z from an old friend who builds some unique vehicles from hot rodded AMCs to custom supermoto bikes. Having raced Pro AMA superbikes in the 90's, a debilitating accident during a race left him in a wheelchair for nearly 2 years...

    Well, Goodbye TN. Hello TX

    As of April 7th, I'll officially leave casual reserve status and enter active duty in the USAF and will be headed to Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX, to attend SUPT, or pilot training. I've pretty much lived my entire life in TN ( except for a 6 month stint in C Springs CO ) and it makes me...
