NSX NA2 Headers.
Discussion
As the Silver Surfer said, all 3.0l engine cars are designated NA1, even those made and sold in 2005.
All automatics are called NA1 (as they all have a 3.0l engine). The NA2 refers to the engine upgraded in size and performance in 1997 to 3.2l, for manual cars only.
The NSX evolved through many iterations which had many different names:
The first cars from 1990/1 were called E-NA1 with an engine code of C30A. This carried through for both manuals and autos for 7 years. The vast majority of NSX date from the first 3 years of production.
The Type T (Targa) was introduced in March 1995 in both manual and auto guises.
Manual cars were then designated E-NA2 with the C32B engine, starting in February 1997. Autos continued with E-NA1 C30A.
Manual cars produced from September 1999 were given the GH-NA2 code for 10 months, autos produced during this period GH-NA1, the GH referring to the Low Emissions Vehicle status that had been bestowed on the cars at that time . The individual models also then had a specific model code for each JDM variant:
Manual NSX Coupe 6A240
Auto NSX Coupe 6A260
Manual NSX Type T 6A360
Auto NSX Type T 6A340
Manual NSX Type S 6AS62 (Japan only)
Manual NSX Type S Zero 6AS60 (Japan only)
This was obviously a bit complex, (given the low production numbers). Things became simpler a few months later:
Manual cars produced from April 2000 were designated LA-NA2, autos LA-NA1.
In December 2001, the new "facelift" or "02+" car started production with the following designations:
Manual - LA-NA2
Auto - LA-NA1
This continued until March 2004, when ABA replaced LA as the prefix for the model code.
So, total production = 19,005 units, ~10,000 of which went to North America, ~7450 went to the local Japanese market (RHD), about 1400 to Europe (including the UK), and the remainder, about 200, to other countries not mentioned.
I haven't got the split between autos and manuals. The number of NA1 3.0 engines is likely to be about 16,500 of the 19,000......
Got all that? There will be a test later.....
