hello all,i have been looking at a 1999 NSX VIN#JH4NA2164XT000110 ....

Hmmm...TWO power adders!
Do you know what the car used for air/fuel and timing management and if it was a stand-alone was it tuned with a secondary setting for use with the NOx? Or was this just a wet nitrous system (where extra fuel is dumped into the intake along with the nitrous oxide). Was the fuel pump upgraded? If the car was not properly tuned to handle the nitrous combined with the supercharger, engine knock is a near-certainty.
How many miles does each power-adder have in use? Was the car raced on the street or otherwise? And how about general service history documentation?
Regardless, I wouldn't touch this car without a thorough inspection including at least a compression and leak down test. Maybe a scope to peek at the piston tops. This is a big investment. There are enough solid no-story NSXs out there for sale that I would think long and hard about this one.

Maintenance Highlights:
The entire history of the vehicle would take too long to type, however I have kept ALL receipts.
All fluids have been checked maintained at least once a year.
Recently installed a new battery
New set of plugs and K&N Foam Air Filter (June 2015)
THE IMPERFECT:
There are a few chips of the factory paint job which peeled away behind each rear wheel bumper (no dents, just chips) There were about 4 on each side and size ranged from a dime to a quarter. I used Acura factory touch up paint and is only noticeable from about a foot away.
The front bumper was backed into lightly by a vehicle (Hit and Run/No insurance claim) This was able to be mostly buffed out with just a bit of factory touch up paint. Noticeable from about 2 feet out. See photo

I really appreciate the input on this one guys.i am going to keep looking.
FYI .. just spoke with the guy who listed. The SC and Nitrous kit were installed about 8 years ago. I asked what fuel modifications were performed and whether wet/dry kit. All they could answer was that there was an FPR done, no injector modification, no fuel pump modification, etc. Asked about ecu/fuel controller - they have no clue.
Sounds like they are really oblivious or are trying to sell a car based on shiny parts.
Will be passing on this vehicle as well. Especially at the list price.
