My old Honda - NA1 NSX

[becausephilchow]

lol I'm not sure about that but I thought it was fitting



thanks bud, been reading your thread for a while now.



the brakes on the 2017 nsx are 368 front and 361 rear, but are carbon ceramic.

I'll be running around 355 all round I think if I can get them behind the regamasters,

yeah, what I'm doing is getting the important measurements and producing a cad model, then mess around with wheel/suspension clearance etc until I'm happy. Ill then see if I can get an off the shelf hat from somewhere, if not Coleman were going to be my first port of call.

got a few other bits to sort on the car before hand so will probably be a while before I get to it properly but the model is well on the way.

Might not be able to get the 355MM behind the 17" Regas. From my experience with them, they only clear a "Standard" size of brakes.

17" - 330MM
18" - 355MM

But, maybe you'll get lucky if anything, it all really depends on the caliper in all honesty.

OH my lord those calipers are insane! What's the price tag on new NSX calipers lmao?

[hkz286]

Those calipers are immense! Huge bravo for going with the most baller OEM brake upgrade ever.

Clean build. LOVE IT

Haha, yeah. I've done this a few times before with the 18Z Calipers on VWs and what-not.

Custom Hub should be relatively easy. What size are the new NSX Brakes from factory? 380x32 or something?

You can probably find some used BBK Rotors of some sort, or at least the hats, and then you can approach Coleman Racing. They can custom make Rotor Rings of any size essentially to work with the hats. Could save a bit of money that way.

Or, if you have access to all that, getting some custom hats made aren't too pricy.

ha its like you've done this before :P yup basically that method. I may have to get a custom hub made but I don't think that's too expensive I don't think. Well not in comparison to the calipers anyways :S

For a few years now ive bounced back and forth about which car id rather own for, a mk4 supra like your brothers, or an nsx like you. You are currently swaying my mind heavily.. Im extremely detail oriented as well and your build connects with me on a spiritual level. fuck this is good.

yeah to be honest you couldn't go wrong either way, the supra is nice because everyone makes parts for it no messing around with custom parts. Over here they are significantly cheaper as well (like a third of the price of an nsx). Yeah there is a chap who lives over here who publicly posts all the restoration work he does on NSX's so learning where to look for faults is made a lot easier.

Im also curious as to how you will mount the brakes. The new nsx hasn't been out for very long, although owners of the older generation tend to have deeper pockets than the average joe, so i wouldn't be surprised if someone has already bought a set and done the conversion.

ermm basically I'm modelling everything up on CAD then will make a bracket when I have a datum to work with. Probably choose a rotor and hub that's available and then make the bracket to suit, don't know yet. As far as a I know I was the first guy to order these from Honda, I even had to give them a chassis code as they wouldn't let me just buy them :S they must have deep pockets considering how much parts are...dayum that was an eye opener. I'll get myself a nice single cam eg civic hatch after this

My guess is he'll choose a rotor that already has a hub that works, and then build a custom bracket accordingly to mount it onto the hub.

Not too difficult. Same way people run 18Z Porsche Calipers on VWs and what-not.

Make the calipers fit the brake rotors, and then take those measurements and make them fit the car.

+1 for Porsche.


This thread is so incredibly satisfying to read through, coming from someone who is incredibly detail-oriented. Amazing work, and incredible dedication.

lol nope not quite, ill give you a hint. The calipers are completely OEM, I haven't changed a thing on them, they are straight out of the box bought from a part number :P

and thanks for the kind words, I like to read build threads like that so I figured i would try and detail mine as such
