You're a hell of a driver! That sucks you had to meter your oil temps. I dig the typed out text with updates through the video. I have a GT350, would love to see you pilot one and your thoughts.
@@Zygrene I've watched it! The 350 VS M3 comparo. I want to see you on track with it! If you ever find yourself in Georgia, welcome to take mine around RA. Would be a hoot.
I dig this style of vid. the caption overlays are great, as oppose to a voice over, since I get to focus on that engine sing. keep this type of content coming!
awesome fun to watch. it’s definitely worth adding cooling, i think if you’re going to do an oil cooler, you should also do an intercooler and heat exchanger. that way you can really be covered on your bases and have pretty much no worries about cooling abilities.
This was super satisfying👌🏽 I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what it can really do with the needed mods. I’d love the nsx to have the best time for pride sake lol
Random hopefully not weird comment : your girl has some really well defined shoulders/arms, that's impressive. Tell her some dude on RUclips says she looks like a badass.
Amazing how these mods completely transform it on track. I dont know if ill ever be able to keep a car stock, especially with aftermarket suspensions these days being so good!
That was awesome man. The lap after when you said the slow Cayman went past was thrilling to watch. The way you were working the wheel made it look like you were dancing on the limit, great stuff! Re: the steering, does the NSX-R use the same non-assisted setup or a different rack or Geo or anything? i.e. are there any parts or setup mods you could do to replicate an NSX-R's steering speed and weight? Or are they identical to your unassisted setup to begin with? Because I understand your thoughts on the slow heavy steering limiting how hard you're willing to push the car, but I imagine if you (or anyone) had an NSX-R you wouldn't want to change the steering setup!
Nice! Great to see you get the old girl out for some real exercise. You're on pace with my stock-ish NSX PB there around a 2:10 just based on some landmark references on the checkered-flag lap there. Same tires, but mine were only a few thousand miles old at the time. Where were you getting your oil temp readout? Am I not seeing an extra gauge you have installed?
Hey Fenton, Did you drive your NSX to the Oakland Airport Wednesday night waring dark sunglasses? As alway, this was a blast to watch. By all indications, you've got it pretty well sorted. Have your TH lap times improved at all since the last round of suspension mods?
Sorry for the late post, but 215 tires in front? I was quite surprised when I read that. Is that the stock tire width? Personally, I recommend getting at least 235 up front before the LSD...unless you know something I don't (you are a far better driver than me) 😜
Stock tire width on a 1991 is 205front 225rear. 215 is a conservative fitment to be sure though, depending on actual treadwidth and sidewall height, anywhere between 215 and 235 is in-line with my expectations.
For a mixed use car with stock fenders 215 is about as wide as you can go up front. Anything wider, barring some perfect-offset witchcraft, will eat the fender liners.
I've had some experience in an early NSX. I always tell people the steering lets it down and it's always "mAnUaL pUrItY" ugh... It is a great car but the steering just sucks. My first car ever was an AW11. Now THAT car had amazing manual steering. (I should say I would take ANY NSX over an AW11 obviously :D :D )
Ooooooohhh I’m lookin’ forward to watching this when I get home but I’m the interim I have kind of a crazy/weird question! Do you still have the instructions for the rear brakes from SakeBomb Garage?? I got the exact same set-up with the Öhlin’s coil- overs and their AP Racing front BBK and their rear BBK kit but we’re having trouble with the rear brakes. Did you have to do any kind of modifications to get the rears to fit?? Any help/input would be GREATLY appreciated !!🙏
@@Zygreneyeah, I’ve asked them numerous times and they’re being weirdly evasive about it. I’ve primarily been reaching out via email but will call them If I can’t get a resolution within the next day or two. Thanks for responding and GREAT job out there! You were hustling homie!
Nice driving! If you're going to be mainly street driving the car, then it seems like an LSD and oil cooler might do more harm than good. How much would it be for a shorter gearset/final drive? Do you think that would make the car more fun on the street?
I dont know if there is a massive difference is why the temps r so high n you keep driving but i usually stop at 110 Celsius and chill there. Why is it that u let it rise soo high?
My builder told me years ago it was 270F, but maybe he was referring to conventional oils. I always run synth, but I'm not gonna lie, when my RSX got to 260F on track, I wanted to back off 😬
RESPECT YOUR ELDERS SON had me lollling

I've driven one in the canyons and it was fantastic. Must be even better on track.

The track commentary in just golden...
Props for even tracking a old NSX can't be a common thing these days
You can contact ATR for their oil cooler kit. Sits in the passenger side air intake. It's extremely well made.
Glad to see someone make use of their NSX around the track! Good driving man!
Audio quality is on point sir. Awesome video.
Loved the "Respect your elders son" comment.
Why is it so enjoyable watchin a POV track video with driver's thoughts printed on screen?
great driving !!! good suspension should transform this car . look so enjoyable

Lol that's not my girlfriend but I'll pass along the compliment!
Thanks for the inspiration! I need to get my 90s JDM out on the track :)
Nice format with the text. And nice driving!

This looks like so much fun but one bad driver could easily ruin everyones day
Definitely a dream car to own one day. I was thinking about making it a track car.....my thoughts have changed after watching this video lol

Previous owner mounted a Defi ZD gauge behind the stock radio screen and hooked up all the sensors.
@@Zygrene Slick, and very useful.
Time for an OS Giken LSD maybe? Would make a big difference in terms of not having to battle with the steering or overcorrect.
True, although OS Gikens tend to be pretty noisy. Might be too much for a mostly street driven car.
@@Zygrene os giken lsd is quiet (I dont know for nsx but on my S2000 it is very quiet).
Ngl im just here for the sound 😂
Nsx asmr
Ugg, that Cayman was too damn slow in the corners! What was he, some kind of Corvette driver? LOL :P
Do you have a baffled oil pan? Long flat sweepers are no good for the NSX.
Doesn’t Quaife make a quick steering rack for the NSX? I would think the nsx community would be all over it.
I am planning to track my NSX, but the slow steering ratio kinda concerns me haha
Good driving but I would have ditched the passenger.

Wasn't me! I didn't get any clean laps at Thunderhill this last time, but definitely looking to see what I can clock at the next event
My goal is a 2:08. Not fast at all, considering I did a 2:04 in my BRZ with just camber bolts and tires, but still a good goal.

At what oil temperature would you never cross or start backing off the car so it can cool down?
For me that number is around 135C

I've heard the short gearsets are so rare now that they often sell for 8-10k
As far as I know, NSX has an oil cooler
What helmet do you run?
Nice 👌🏾👌🏾
I dont know if there is a massive difference is why the temps r so high n you keep driving but i usually stop at 110 Celsius and chill there. Why is it that u let it rise soo high?
Good synthetic oils don't break down until well above the temps I was hitting, but I wanted to play to safe
@@Zygrene Damn, so are u saying i should push mine further when i track it?

@@DC5Brandon I've always backed off at 110-115C
270F? Brz woulda been done for. Honda ftw.
