    The sensor was on back order and after long-long waiting period, finally, it arrived at my place.


    Together within the package, there were two additional wheel speed sensors for the owner experiencing similar issue for a long time.


    There were also some small ...

  4. Test Driving Session, Reset ECU

    Please adjust this later depending on your preference and driving/environment conditions.


    The rear wheel nuts were torqued at 108Nm.


    Please re-torque them once you got back to your place due to alloy wheel characteristic.


    Went out for test driving session, activated the ABS many times while the tyre was still ...

    As seen on other NSX, it was quite dirty with blowby gas.


    Started the engine and sprayed the cleaner many times into the idle air port, Intake manifold and PCV.
