that looks alot like one with the custom red Recaro Pole Position seats, iirc they should have a carbon kevlar frame to them too!!! :)
 
it should only have come in CW. Those all look like replicas.
 
what web site are you using to look at jap car auctions?

im sure they only came in white aswel
 
whats the cassis code of an nsx r....na1 ,na2 or what??
 
:)Just found this

That top one is indeed an R from looking at the pictures.. Very similar to my old NA1-R.

NA1-R was made in 1992-1995.
NA2-R from 2002-2005.

They come in various colours including green, blue, red, yellow and white.

Here's another green one: ¥Û¥ó¥À NSX-R ʪ·ï¾ÜºÙ - Ãæ¸Å¼Öʪ·ï - Yahoo!¼«Æ°¼Ö

Seats came in red or black - carbon kevlar shell with electic motors for front-back movement. No recline.

Passenger seat came either fixed or electic.
NSX-R didn't have PAS and had a different ABS system to a normal NSX.

NA2-R ABS was revised even more than NA1-R over NA1.

Steering wheel was a 350mm Momo on a telescopic type boss for optimum driving position. Gear change system was completely different to Coupe model with a titanium shift knob. The NA1-R shift knob was chosen by Senna himself:)

Weight reduction was severe with a lot of sound deadening removed, thinner glass, reduced weight engine cover, lighter wheels, lighter calipers etc.

The chassis is tighter and NSX-R uses Showa built suspension. NA1-R is harder than NA2-R. Something that surely helped the NA2-R under 8mins round the Ring.

NA1-R is just so firm:)

NSX-R engines were blueprinted, a lighter flywheel was also used out of the factory but a normal NSX clutch/flywheel is now used for NA1-R replacements. The gearing on the 'R is closer than a JDM and EUDM coupe. I prefered the Mugen gearset/LSD/4.4 final drive to the normal NSX-R gearsets.

No amount of write-ups can explain how an NSX-R feels to drive, a lot of people will never get the NSX-R thing and the NSX has always been overlooked by Skyline/Supra/RX7 owners as it was "tune-able". NA1's can be tuned to around 300bhp fairly easily. The NSX-R was always about the performance envelope, not bhp figures.
 
And that yellow one is a photo I took at the NSX Fiesta 2007 held at Suzuka Circuit.
 
whats the cassis code of an nsx r....na1 ,na2 or what??

NA1 is the first generation NSX-R with the 3.0 5 speed box
NA2 was from 1998 onwards which still had pop up lights but had the 3.2 / 6 speed configuration. No NSX-R's were made in 3.2 popup.
NA2 from 2002 has the facelift.

NSX-R, NSX Type S, Coupe etc all have the same chassis codes, NA1 or NA2.

The 1992 NA1 NSX-R had 15/16 wheel config, the 1993/1994 NA1 NSX-R went to 16/17 combination as in the yahoo auction above.

Type S was a "winding road" type NSX with softer suspension. The Type S is indeed rarer than the 'R and the Type S Zero was limited to 12 IIRC!
 
I had the privalage in going in Hirofumi San's (chairman of NSX club Japan) NSX-R when I was over in Japan with Bazza.

What awesome cars. I really was blown away. The handling and feel of them is awesome. They feel completely at one with the road!

Heres some photos I took ;)

NA1-R - 6,000,000 JPY - 9,500,000 JPY depending on colour, mileage and condition. Divide by 145 for GBP FOB price from Japan.

NA2-R 13,500,000 JPY - 20,000,000 JPY depending on colour, mileage and condition. Divide by 145 for GBP FOB price from Japan.

Basically - a lot.
