Spotted on Saturday in Melbourne.

[nsxey]

A very nice looking yellow model with pop up lights. Looked to have an aftermarket front bar. Number plate 'UNIK 1'? Not 100% sure - only caught a glimpse.

Was spotted at corner of Lower Dandenong and Boundary Rd, Braeside.

I personally would not be put off by an auto.
You can get a six speed conversion kit and end up with a better gearbox than you would get on a manual anyway.
and considering the autos are cheaper it all works out with cost.
just a thought.

Please tell me more about this six speed conversion kit! Who does it? How much is it?

I'll start snapping up autos if that is the case! '91 autos with less than 100k on them are going for AUD $17-18K FOB... in Japan!

Who does RAWS compliance for these? I looked on RAWS website for NSX but could not see it listed?

Hi au nsx,
you can get the six speed gearboxes thru sos with a conversion kit,.
not cheap, with taxes and shipping round $10,000 (estimate)
I will be getting one in the near future. I have a genuine nsxr box now installed and when i get the six speed i will probably sell the nsxr box. so if anyone is interested in a nsxr 5 speed let me know.

Just remember the nsx autos are apparently 188kw so i imagine that something would have to be done to the ecu to get the 201kw.

The only difference is the exhaust cams , and tuning rev limit etc to match , a MT ECU is easy to get , at least for OBD-1

Its impossible to get AU compliance for an NSX , the only way is to front the million $ or so to do the whole crash test dummy thing and get a Raws permit, no one is that keen. Or live in Japan for a year and bring it back as a personal car. The only Imports that come through the import scheme was a small window of opportunity just prior to changing the 15 year law .

Ahh ok... Yes that is about the average price difference between an AT and MT '91 NSX in Japan...

Just happen to remember i have seen it...woops.
Was at the autosalon last year, sorry for the terrible photos but at the time i was more interested in other car's there.
Not to mention im not a fan of those rims, big amps/subs, and any form of bodykit on the nsx, its perfect the way it is.
