I have one of these doofers, as discussed in this thread (http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.php?6332-Timing-belt-insurance&highlight=titanium+dave) (and a tale of woe from one owner on this thread (http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.php?6181-HELP!-What-have-I-done-to-my-baby)). In a nutshell, there is a (however slight) risk that a failed harmonic balancer can knacker the timing belt and cause some pretty horrible damage to the engine. TitaniumDave on NSXPrime came up with a relatively inexpensive guard (here (http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83460)) to prevent an errant HB from throwing itself at the timing belt, and has been selling them in the US for a while.
I bought this one as part of the UK Group Buy but never got round to fitting it, and Kaz replaced the crank pulley as part of the TB/WP service last year.

The cost to buy on in USD would work out about £50, plus P&P and the potential of duty etc. Or if you want one, make me an offer :)
