It's possible to install NSX rotors on GSR hubs, but you will have to do some work. Calipers with brackets and bolts, 11in rotors redrilled to 4 x 100 and appropriate pads. Also, it seems there's some metal that will need to be filed down for clearance.

I've got a local guy in Charlotte that upgraded his ITR to Acura Legend rotors and calipers. These are the same as NSX, but can be found for cheaper. I don't have all the tech information to do this swap, so I'd say keep researching, but it is possible.

how if you do a 4x114.3 earlier type-r conversion the calipers can fit right? what kind of modifications need to be done to fit the calipers even if installing on the usdm 5 lug type r?

Go with the Acura Legend calipers and rotors from 94-95 GS (sedan) or 93-95 (coupe) for best fitment. No additional modifications required except for a couple of washers to shim the caliper for the best fitment of the bolts. Cost would be from $100-$350 depending of if you buy new or used.

Email this guy mikeymike1979@hotmail.com who's done the swap already. He's an excellent source for information regarding this modification.

The only differences between the NSX and Legeng caliper is the NSX logo, and cooling fins. They are both two pot calipers. You can use the NSX caliper on ITR suspension.
