HONDA REQUESTED INFORMATION: Customer-purchased parts

[NSX Prime]

I received the following message from someone who works for Honda:

I was asked what the most common parts that customers pay for after their car is out of warranty. My guess is Clutch, Window regulators, Oil senders, etc. Would it be possible for you to put together 1) a thread asking what parts NSX owners buy, and then 2) Run a poll with the answers to #1, to get a volume idea?

So, I am posting this thread for people to reply with the most common new factory parts you purchase for your NSX. No warranty-paid, aftermarket or used parts please.

Just reply to this thread, and then I'll put together a poll in a week or so in order to get an idea of the relative volume of various parts. If someone else has listed a part, you don't need to list it again.

Our friend at Honda thanks you!

In addition to driveline components like clutch, gears and synchros. I would think:

1. Suspension parts like tie-rods, bushes etc,

2. Full gasket sets inc. valve covers, oil pan, manifold etc,

3. CV joints.

4. Cam belts, water pumps...

5. Brake cylinder kits incl. master cylinder

5. Maybe some electrical items like O2 sensors, alternators and possibly air conditioning compressors.

Let's not forget the hydraulic struts for the engine hatch and trunk.

 

[DocL]

Horn buttons
Radio knobs
Coupe sun visors

 

[KGP]

After 16+ years of the NSX, Honda doesn't already know what OEM items are most frequently purchased? Late April fools joke, right?

 

[dippy9]

clutch
suspension
master brake cylinder
strut for engine bay

besides that the NSX has been the unbelievably reliable.

 

[Hondatech]

Coil pack cover gaskets
Coil packs
VTEC Solenoid (spool valve) gasket
Oil pressure gauge sender

 

[KGP]

Okay, I'll play

Since it's not a joke...

The only new non-refurbed oem parts I have bought are:
-Main relay
-Fuel pump resistor
-Horn button
-CV boot
-Shift knob
-Ignition switch/harness
-Front turn signal housing and lense
-Keyless entry
-Oil filters
-Pushpins

But I would think Honda would be far more interested in knowing what items they could have sold (direct OEM replacement only), but lost to aftermarket, i.e., climate control board, leather seat skins, belts, brake pads, brake lines, hoses, etc.

 

[DrVolkl]

This sounds like good news....perhaps honda will keep us showered with parts for years to come.

 

[scorp965]

I have purchased:
-NSX titanium key
-Trunk struts
-Fender Liner Clips, at a very irritating $5 a piece (!)
-NSX-R engine plate
-NSX-R momo wheel trim piece
-NA2 NSX-R center tail light
-Oil filter wrench
-Oil filters
-CV boot
-Coolant tank cap

T top weather seal

I think honda is deciding what part to keep on hand for NSX replacement parts. I hope most of the parts be available, or we will be forced to buy a Porsche.:biggrin: jk

I don't know about it being a joke, but Honda certainly has records of which parts are most frequently purchased. In fact, I believe they use that in recommending which parts dealers should keep in stock. (I know they use it in determining which parts are stocked in warehouses around the country, and the quantities stocked.)

I'm sure all the parts used for the various scheduled maintenance procedures (or "consumables" like brake pads) would be used far more frequently than any of the parts needed only when a failure occurs. And the more frequent the maintenance procedure, the more parts needed (e.g. more oil filters than timing belts).

 

[NsXMas]

I've considered buying a 2nd NSX as a spare parts car.

Could Honda build and sell brand new NSXs as parts cars?

 

[swbatte]

So far:
Both Window regulators
Engine hatch struts
Coolant tank
Water pump
Belts
Front skid plate
Speakers
floor mats
brake discs & pads

Later on
All hoses
