How many miles can you put on an NSX?

[@sawyermartin4434]

There is a professor at the University of West Florida in Pensacola (if you went to school there or live in the area you likely know who I'm talking about) that has crossed the half million mile mark with his first gen NSX. He has daily driven it since he purchased it new. My senior year, I had two courses with him. We talked cars pretty regularly, & I remember him being upset that the factory head unit finally quit working. He was hellbent on replacing it with a NOS unit because he wanted everything on the car to stay original. Pretty awesome!

[@LapoftheWorld]

Honestly this is the best part of telling these stories; how they expand in the comments. I'd love to talk to that gentleman at some point just to hear how it's gone.

[@bwofficial1776]

It seems like high mileage NSXs are the norm and not the outlier. A Ferrari or Lamborghini from the same time with six digits on the odometer is a rare find. NSXs can take it. Also, that's pretty cool to have a professor that drives a NSX and has driven it since new.

[@user-mh2ho3mj4n]

I used to see the car almost daily, but i think he might be driving less as neither he nor the car or spring chicken these days. Never spoken to the man directly but for what I've been told it's never had a major engine out repair? It really wouldn't surprise me honestly, however I don't think the car is/was ever hard pressed with track duty. There's also another fellow who lives in the north of the county whom is a very gifted driver of the old air cooled 911s. I'm not going to call the non-turbos widowmakers or Doctor Killers but they are DEFINITELY worthy of being called fool-makers and lesson teachers) he had a rather quick old 911 I used to love riding in him with when I was younger, I know that it was a hopped up 2.7, they're not a 2.7 SC I don't believe. Anyways I was absolutely amazing how fast the little 9/11 was, and as impressive I was at 15 years old with the 9/11 and the Euro Spec 308 I loved, the old man was just as blown away with an NSX he had just purchased. Nothing much more fun than hooning around in a 1g NSX with an old gray-haired racing driver who had zero fucks left to give lol. Grew up around cars, spent my life around cars, and always saw the NSX as a budget exotic. Then I got to ride in it a few dozen times... It was definitely a budget exotic, just frankly just shy a few horsepower. Nothing a nice positive displacement setup doesn't cure with proper throttle acumen still intact!

[@mattmadawi]

Holy cow, this video reminded me of him! Professional Sales 101 or something. BK would go on and on about the titanium rods in it. He was my favorite teacher.

[@CheesusSVT]

The NSX is similar to that one very ethereal and wise friend you once had, and they vanished... Just a reminder of how many things they did and knew that was so above our understanding at the point of us knowing of it. Does not surprise me that people actually enjoy driving these. ❤😊

[@VINwiki]

They are truly awesome. Thank you so much for the support!

[@LapoftheWorld]

Thanks for having me on again! 'Awesome to come back and be able to share this one. I'm hoping well see even more big mileage figures in the comments 😁

[@nickjay5198]

I have a buddy down in Montreal who I believe has just about or just over 300,000km on his nsx!

[@felixborek]

A gentlemen in my town has a NSX which he bought from new and daily drives it since. Currently sits at 750.000km! And even looks like one of the nicer examples out there Edit: ah he was mentioned (Austria), last update of august this year was a bit over 750k km

[@LapoftheWorld]

I was thinking the first part of that sounded familiar, but figured there could always be another one. Small world, it's been a fun car to follow from around the world.

[@ErikBernethy]

This guy just gave me an idea. I have a 23 year old Honda Civic Si in mint condition 62k miles that starts and runs great, but then sometimes just won't start. 🤷‍♂I don't give it any attention because I have other new cars I usually drive. I'm going to give that main fuel relay a look. I do miss driving a stick.

[@Murhamdilah]

My 1991 NSX is now 177k miles. 3 timing belt service, update ABS and brakes. First service when I bought the car back in 2001.

[@bene.100]

It's a sports car in the highest regard, but it's a Honda at the end of the day! It'll run forever!

[@scottclark7559]

Yep! My DD is an accord with 317k, and I have a civic with 310k...I keep thinking I'll replace them when they finally have a major failure like a transmission, but I keep up on the maintenance...that day may never come😂

[@bwofficial1776]

It seems like high-mileage NSXs are the norm and not the exception. That's what made the NSX great. It was built like a normal car. The engine keeps going and is relatively inexpensive to fix. Everything in the interior is where it's expected to be. It had cargo space. Try daily driving a Ferrari 348 or Lamborghini Diablo and see how much trouble it is. The NSX is still a good-looking and good-driving car.

Fill up the oil every time you fill up the tank?

[@LapoftheWorld]

Even with heavy track use, the old motor in ours (up to 315,000 miles) really didn't use much oil, maybe 1/2 - 1 quart of "maintenance fill" within a ~3k-5k mile change cycle. Didn't leak a drop (see "keep up on maintenance").

A high mileage nsx is not unusual. It's an Acura it's supposed to be able able to go into the high mileage. A 8k road trip in a any BMW of the same year that would be impressive.

You can put an almost infinite number of miles on any vehicle as long as you maintain it and are willing to replace parts and make repairs.

[@areallytallguy]

No shit. The point is that the NSX is way more reliable than any other sports car. And when you do have to fix it it isn’t that expensive.

[@OhioGuy82]

Exactly!

[@usaclaimsthemoon4198]

Generally the conversation revolves around how many miles before an engine or transmission rebuild.

[@williamegler8771]

@@areallytallguy If you can afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini they aren't expensive for that owner either!

[@williamegler8771]

@usaclaimsthemoon4198 There is no guarantee that an NSX won't need an engine or transmission rebuild before any other exotic. There are numerous verified reports of Porsche Ferraris and Lamborghinis in rental fleets and driving clubs that have gone similar mileage while not requiring rebuilds or replacement of engines or transmissions.

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

The one thing I always hated about these cars is that they never came with 4 pistons up front and 2 in the rear.

[@LapoftheWorld]

It's one thing they never really changed. Granted, in 1991 the NSX's brakes were very competitive in the segment if nothing revolutionary. They did increase the rotor diameter for the '97+ cars but even the vaunted Type Rs have the same old sliding calipers.

[@Salvaba]

I wonder how the gen2 NSX is going to hold up over time

[@LapoftheWorld]

Time will be the question I think, not mileage. I know of a few already north of 50k miles and have heard through the grapevine that there might be a press car over 100k somewhere. Battery degradation and electrical system integrity will likely be the question mark more-so than the over-built 'J motor or the chassis.

It seemed that Honda thought that they'd built am alternative to Ferrari, when what they had was a sports car for Accord buyers. And they don't buy sports cars too much, hence the poor sales. The second generation NSX was a braver attempt, but the sales were even worse. Good for car guys buying used models, not for Honda.
