    Wow… Finally, the site is back online…


    I couldn’t update the owner through the Blog and also couldn’t copy all of the previous posts to the CD that will be handed to the owner on collection of his/her NSX.

    I really need to look into the backup plan for the future.

    Apology for the owner that I couldn't provide you with the same level of updates as other owners.


    In the process of setting up another Blog as a backup method so hope it ...

  2. Test Driving Session, Washed the car and Final Inspection

    by , 28-01-2011 at 10:57 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    Activated the ABS several times to trigger the ABS pump and repeated one more time.


    Next time when the pump was triggered, it’s ready for the the ABS fluid level adjustment so you don’t want to trigger the ABS any more.


    After the test driving session before getting back to my place, opened the window to confirm that there was no noise from the back of the car even under vibration.


    Also, when got back, kept the engine running ...

    Noticed that someone already tried to alter the position of the CAT by modifying the rubber mount.

    This method was noticed on several other areas.



    New exh. gaskets and self locking nuts.

  4. CAT and Front Down Pipe 01

    by , 28-01-2011 at 10:35 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    While waiting for the liquid gasket to cure, worked on the CAT heatshield for the noise issue.


    It would have been easier if I just trimmed the small portion of the horizontal metal bar at the aftermarket diffuser to widen the gap in order to prevent the CAT from scratching against it.

    However, I was worried about the long term strength/durability of the metal bar so decided not to do so and went for the more time consuming option.

  5. Oil Pan 03

    Unless you take the engine out and set the engine/cylinder block upside down, you only have very short time to keep the oil pan mating surface oil free after wiping it down with the brake cleaner.



    Not much photos here as I was dealing with the liquid gasket which needs only 5min before it starts to cure so had to be really quick in installing everything.
