50k more could get you a Type R with similar mileage; http://jdm-expo.com/vehicle-inventory/363-honda-nsx-type-r-sale.html

Eh... 13s quarter mile. A little faster to 60, doesn't seem like a big deal. The NSX was not really about mind blowing straight line acceleration, and certainly there are plenty of cars (especially in this price range) that can blow it away. Lack of power steering is more interesting than a little extra umph.
...besides... flip up headlights.

Given that you live in australia, seems like having air conditioning would be a priority. This is one of the big problems with the type r and the s zero. They're stiff, they're loud, they have no AC. They're meant to be track-day machines primarily... but who is taking their $100k collectible NSX to the track? It's a very difficult car to use at all. Either you're uncomfortable on the road, or you're uncomfortable (because of price) at the track.
Nope, the best NSX is the base manual minus power steering, pre-facelifted with flip up headlights, but not the 91 (and possibly 92) because snap ring failure. So really you want a '93.

That's assuming the transmission has not been fixed, though. I personally think an early 3.0 car with the later 6 speed box would be quite the package.
