What is your production date?

Vancehu - Once again, you have proven to be a fountain of knowledge! :smile:

Imran - Welcome to the forums and thank you for your reply to all. Happy New Year to you. :smile:

2005 NSX's number 216, 217, 218, and 219 are in the pipeline. How many more? Heck if I know....
:biggrin: Happy New Year to all my fellow NSX fanatics! :biggrin:

#5S000216: Silverstone/Black 6-Speed
#5S000217: Black/Camel 6-Speed
#5S000218: Silverstone/Black 6-Speed
#5S000219: Red/Black 6-Speed
#5S000220: Yellow/Yellow 6-Speed
#5S000221: Blue/Blue 6-Speed
#5S000222: Yellow/Black 6-Speed
#5S000223: Orange/Orange 6-Speed
#5S000224: Yellow/Yellow 6-Speed
#5S000225: Red/Camel 6-Speed
#5S000226: Silvertone/Silver 6-Speed
#5S000227: Black/Black 6-Speed
#5S000228: Silverstone/Black 6-Speed
#5S000229: Silver/Black 6-Speed
#5S000230: Red/Black 6-Speed
#5S000231: Yellow/Black 6-Speed
#5S000232: Red/Red 6-Speed
#5S000233: Red/Black 6-Speed
#5S000234: Black/Camel 6-Speed
#5S000235: Orange/Black 6-Speed
#5S000236: Black/Black 6-Speed
#5S000237: Black/Black 6-Speed
#5S000238: Unknown/Unknown 6-Speed, Not in American Honda's database
#5S000239: Yellow/Black 6-Speed
#5S000240: Yellow/Yellow 6-Speed
#5S000241: Yellow/Yellow 6-Speed

"Theoretical" VIN #5S000242 is not in the system.

So, #241 may very well be the last US-spec Manual transmission model released for sale.


Edit: The Automatic VINs are numbered differently than the Manuals. There's no way to truly tell which was the last US-spec model built by just looking at the VIN. So far as of 1-23-2006, only 8 automatics have been built. It's likely, for example, that Automatic #8 was built after Manual #241 (the highest manual VIN for which there is data as of 1-23-2006)

JH4NA21655S000216: Silverstone/Black 6-speed
JH4NA21675S000217: Black/Camel 6-speed
JH4NA21695S000218: Silverstone/Black 6-speed
JH4NA21605S000219: Red/Black 6-speed
JH4NA21675S000220: Yellow/Yellow 6-speed
JH4NA21695S000221: Blue/Blue 6-speed
JH4NA21605S000222: Yellow/Black 6-speed

"Theoretical" #s JH4NA21625S000223 (if 6-speed) or JH4NA12615S000223 (if auto) are not in the system.

So, 222 may very well be the last US-spec model released for sale.

Hey Ben Good job! Is there a way you can tell me how many GP Whites were made for NA in '05?

Hey Ben Good job! Is there a way you can tell me how many GP Whites were made for NA in '05?

Yes, it's doable if you have a lot of free time.

Basically, you have to come up with a list of all 241 VINs, using the calculation method in the FAQ for the check digit, then enter them manually, 241times, into Owner's Link (which you should have access to). Then you have to do it 8 more times for the Automatic transmission VINs, which are numbered differently than the manual transmission VINs.

No simple way to do it, but if you really have to know......

Actually, now that I think about it, if someone has some time, this may be the way we can update the list linked below for '99-'05. I wouldn't mind doing a few each day until the list is built.

That's a great idea. I think we would need just one or 2 people doing it though just to help keep it accurate.

 

[Ben]

It may not be 100% accurate anyway. Just for kicks, I ran the VIN for the 1993 Brooklands Green/Tan factory one-off through the system, and it comes up as a Grand Prix White/Black. Then again, Acura is probably just covering their bases so they can deny it's existence if asked. :tongue:

In any case, I've started the task. Watch this space for updates.

 

[prischan99]

my #217 is really black and camel, i just got it like three weeks ago

Update (1-23-2006): 2005 US-Spec Manual Transmission cars #223, #225-#237, and #239-241 have shown up in American Honda's system. #241 is a Rio Yellow Pearl/Yellow. #238 remains unknown (not in the system). Perhaps Honda Japan kept #238 to put in the museum?

 

[gheba_nsx]

Hmm strange about 223 but I wonder why Honda Japan would want a LHD Acura model in the Museum. I would imagine it would be a JDM RHD spec model...

 

[The Kid]

Ive got #199, Long Blue/Black sitting on my showroom floor.

Ben,

If you need any help or anything; let me know.

 

[BD]

Update (1-6-2006): 2005 US-Spec Manual Transmission car #224 has shown up in American Honda's system. It's a Rio Yellow Pearl/Yellow. #223 remains unknown (not in the system). Perhaps Honda Japan kept #223 to put in the museum?

They do have a NA1 Type R in their musiem. A LHD car will be cool to have too. But anyway, I bet there will be more than 250 for US. All the cars arrived in the system now were built in November or prior, so they had another month to built 30 plus more. They have already removed the NSX from their JDM website, and it is till on the USA Acura site. The cars will continue to arrive for probably another month or so.

 

[gheba_nsx]

Interesting, it is still on "our" website too!

http://www.honda.ch/001hda_011400_de.htm

Probably they have a couple more to sell here too... I'll try to call my garage and ask the VIN of the available ones Monday.

 

[Ben]

That's just speculation that it's going to be in the museum. :wink:

The only thing we really know about #223 is that it's not in American Honda's system, which probably means that Honda Japan kept it for some reason or other (again, speculation). I would imagine that Honda Japan would keep at least one of each of the last production models for each region for their own "archive" or for the museum.

Edit, 1-23-2006: #223 is in American Honda's system as a Imola Orange/Orange 6-Speed. #225-#237, and #239-#241 are in the system also. #238 remains Unknown.

Ben,

If you need any help or anything; let me know.

Thanks!! A few things you might be able to help with:

1. Is there any way you can query if there are any more in transit after 2005 manual car #241?

2. Can you try to query the whereabouts of the VINs not in Amercan Honda's system? I've posted the VINs in each of the respective threads.

3. Can you find out the build dates of the respective VINs? Mainly, is automatic car #8 built before or after manual car #241?

Maybe #223 was not up to standards after it left the assembly line and was destroyed? :smile:

Then you would be looking for one of the following:

1995 Legend Coupe LS #SC003131
Automatic Transmission
Desert Mist Metallic/Taupe

1995 Legend Sedan L #SC019724
Automatic Transmission
Cashmere Silver Metallic/Ivory

3131 Coupes and 19724 Sedans produced for 1995 (the last year of the Legend in the US).

Update: As of 1-23-2006, 2005 US-Spec 6-Speed NSXs #225-#241 are now know to exist. #241 is a Rio Yellow/Yellow. No additional automatics since the last update.

hahaha, I'm quoting myself. I did some calculation, I think there might be more than 250 of them for US bound. The math is there, if they ship at lease 250 to the states, and add up the extra cars they shipped to Europe. Including the 9 prototypes they built between 1989 to 90. They will achieve total production number of 19,000 flat. I wonder if my speculation is correct... well, doesn't really matter, as long as the new NSX keep pop up in the system, that's fine by me.
