I get that alot. The rear diffuser is a very race oriented part. It is better looking in person. The Diffuser, a Carbon Kevlar part, is worth its weight in Gold. It like my rear wing are real TATIEC JGTC race parts. In combination they do wonders for handling both on the track and top end.

 

jgtcnsx - i assume the nsx you posted is oriented to be more of a showcar? id be interested in hearing your take (agree or disagree) on the brakes since the mt900 and cts-v both had very poor experiences with that braking system.

 

Martin, you wouldn't happen to be talkin about ME would you? Nice NSX, dude.

 

I see no hater remarks so no problem there.

About the ZMI brakes. I have had them for about a year now. I have abused them as much as I could for about 6K miles. I have done 0-150-0 runs back to back as hard as I could with no fade. No problem at the track or on the street. Are you sure that the guy with the MT tried ZMI's? There are a few other Titanium rotors available and I wonder what company he got them from. I have seen the ZMI's on a full race VIPER that after 3 seasons is still running the same rotors. There are a few versions by ZMI a street and a race rotor. I have both and run the Race rotors all the time now. Easy to change but time consuming. ZMI started to do a heat treatment to the rotors and on my heat treated race rotors after 1500 miles still look like I put them on yesterday, and that's with some very hard driving.
I am very happy with the Titanium brake set up. The hats and rotors are 5.5 pounds front and 4.9 pounds rear. Total weight savings of 90 pounds over stock. The lighter the car the lighter effort on the brakes, I only weigh in at 2840 with me out of the NSX. Just a mention, with sticky tires up front and disconnect of the ABS the car would ENDO (lift the rear tires off the ground with hard braking), Trust me it is possible I have done it with a Mastang and have seen many Porsche with the rear tires off the ground.
Yes the rear diffuser is built as you see it on my NSX. Although not very pleasing to the eye to some it works, and that is all I care about. Hell at least I painted the Diffuser rather then leave it raw Carbon Kevlar.

 

Well I do show the NSX but it is raced as often as I can. Getting away from work is not very easy.
You can read my quick review of the ZMI's above. I have never heard negative things about the ZMI's untill today. If I had to pay the $$$$ again for a set of brakes for my street/strip/race NSX I would get the Titanium ZMI's again.
If I was building a RACE only NSX, as I plan to do next year I will probably go a different route. This is due to off the shelf support and rules and regs in the race world.

 

I mentioned is as one of your cars in mind, so yes! I wasnt talking bad about your car or any other FI G and you know that, so i dont know wether you took it as an insult or compliment or you were just wondering Anyway all im saying befor ei knew his financial situation or w/e that its ALOT of work and money to get into the times he's looking for and i gave him times that have been going around!

 

Not gonna even bother askin what you do for a livin mi amigo but niceeeee ride man...

 

just curious if you bought a new '04 g35c 6mt. i guess you didn't want to wait for the '05s.

 

You are correct. It was on the lot, it was the right color, I did not want to wait, I needed it by the end of the year.

 

I guess I dont get why you bothered with the G in the first place. You are going to spend a lot of money just to get to where a vette is stock. The G is a good car for the money, but doubling the price (mine stickered at 38K) can almost get you a new M5, Viper, RS6, etc... I dont think you will have the same reliability, at least warranty as any of those, nor be as fast. Sure, the G may be exclusive down here in Indiana where people have no idea what I even drive, but will still look like a 30 grand car. If you spend as much on the G as you spent on the NSX, people will still notice the NSX more. Same idea as the Suburbans and the discounted H2s. Nice choices though.

for 68k you Will NOT get a new M5 (there's none left and they stickered at over 90k) or a Viper, or an RS6....the G is a great mid level performance car. Each to his own.

 

hehe I am!! What do you do for a living?

I think the NSX is one of my all time favorite sports cars. I just love it! VERY nice example you have there!

 

Why wait for an '05? They dumped the Brembos and sacrificed torque for horesepower, both downgrades IMO. Don't get me wrong still an awesome car but I'd still take my '04 any day of the week =)

 

I agree

 

OH mannn that NSX is sweeeet =)
