  1. Engine oil, Alignment Prep.

    by , 28-05-2011 at 11:19 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)



    For the first time after started working on this NSX, managed to take it out for the test driving session.



    Not fun driving with A/C setup at 32degC but to push as much air as possible back to the header tank, no other options.


    As soon as started driving, activated the ABS several times. The accumulator on this NSX seemed to be very healthy as the pump didn’t kick in even after 3 times the ABS was activated.

    Cleaned the battery holder case.


    It will make the area bit untidy but I prefer applying copper grease around the battery posts to prevent future corrosion.

  3. A/C Evaporator

    As in the earlier post, there were lots and lots of leaves, dust, etc inside the evapo of this NSX.


    Quite normal for our NSX as there is no pollen filter at the entrance of the blower motor fan.



    In fact, there is nothing at all to prevent the debris from entering the fan so almost everything will be directed to the surface of the evapo.


    Because of this, it is highly recommended to wash the evapo once a year ...

  4. ABS Service

    It is important to flush the ABS system regularly especially if you have the 1st and 2nd generation ABS on your NSX.


    1st and 2nd generation ones will have separated reservoir just in front of the Brake master cyl.


    3rd generation (upgraded ABS) one is part of the Main brake system and sharing the master cyl reservoir.


    This NSX is equipped with 2nd generation ABS so has been modified to cope with several ...

    It is time consuming and could waste lots of brake fluid if the master cyl was completely dry prior to bleeding process.


    Therefore, I prefer bench bleeding the master cyl before the installation.

    You need to first pour some fluid in the reservoir and then tap on the cyl body many times from different angle as well as tilting the body in a specific angle.


    If you have ever ...
