Torque for each fittings and bolts were checked using small digital torque wrench. Even for a low mileage and fairly new NSX, some of the bolts and nuts were already corroded and seized. Quite often, you will see bolt head seared off at the rear brake hose bracket. On this NSX, as you can see from the amount of the rust, the left side one was already ...
In the process of reinstalling the brake calliper and bracket with the new brake hose from Goodridge. As mentioned to other owners who took my brake service in the past, I always apply thin coat of silicone grease around each fittings and pipes to delay the future corrosion as much as possible. This will include the bleeder screw at the calliper as well. Because ...
As NSX has built-in parking brake adjuster inside the piston, there are lots of extra parts involved for the Rear calliper OH process. In the process of installing the adjuster mechanism. Again, very important to check the smooth operation of the piston. All four callipers and brackets are ready to be re-installed ...
Even for a super low mileage and fairly later spec NSX, the rust managed to get inside the calliper and pitted the surface of the piston. Even it looked very small, it was enough to prevent the piston from moving smoothly. Replaced with the new one. Some of the parts for the Front calliper OH process. ...
Probably, the most neglected area on the UK based NSX, the brake system. After test driving so many NSX using exactly the same route and scenario, almost none of them passed my test for the brake system. The cause of the issue is simple. It was not properly overhauled (OH) at regular interval. In fact, on most of them, the system was never OH after they left the factory. ...
