[paulc]

Some pictures of the new bits being fitted to my NSX. Have tried to upload a couple of more pictures but failing miserably. Anybody got any ideas??

The number of pictures per post is limited to a certain number, but more importantly the file size is, too (roughly 1 MB per image) - the error message does not give an indication, unfortunately.

I use direct link to the image file hosted by other app so could be wrong but for jpeg/jpg/png/etc image file, I think you can attach up to 10 files per post.

There are several app allowing you to convert your original image file into the specific file and pixcel size.
I use IrfanView and if using Windows, you can use its PowerToys function Image Resizer.

The limit on the attachment for some of the popular file type;

Hi both, many thanks I will give it a go.

Been a long process started ordering parts in Feb, they all arrived mid June and the car has been in the garage since then. Very pleased with the work done. Cannot wait to get it over to the UK and give it a blast.

Oh love all those new shiney parts, looks like you will have a really lovely car when its all done.

[Papalazarou]

I love seeing the new parts. It’s almost better before they’re fitted; the promise and potential.
Just out of interest, why are you replacing the suspension components?

Cheers.

[paulc]

Cheers Mike, it has been long overdue. Next year plan to have the ABS system upgraded and a few more odds and sods sorted.

I'm looking forward to getting it back on the road. The clutch barely had a 1 mm left on it, I think that the clutch was the original one, not bad for a 32 year old car, so be interesting to see/feel the difference. The suspension components needed a good clean so were done while off the car. There was some movement on the lower rear ball joints, so they were removed and replacements ordered.

Disappointed that the stainless exhaust system had to be replaced, this was fitted about 10 years ago and in theory should have outlasted the car.

I did wonder whether you had it cleaned up. I had my last one dry iced, but this one could do with suspension off to achieve the best results.

Hi all need some help. The work on the car has gone fine and looks stunning. However the garage is really struggling to get the OSGiken clutch to operate properly. In a nutshell the slave/master system is working as it should and the clutch seems to be working as it should, but when you put the 2 together the clutch engagement is on the floor! The system has been bled on many occasions, has anybody got any ideas.

You have the OSG push/pull alteration kit needed to operate the OSG clutch right?

Hi, yes that was fitted

The NSX has a clutch damper, some afternarket clutches need you to delete it to Work properly (I deleted mine when installed the OSG clutch). This damper is not present on the NSX-R as it is more a confort related part.

you can see here in my car:

Many thanks I will pass that information onto the garage, appreciated. Your car looks stunning.

[paulc]

Another picture this time of the underneath, the new exhaust is a work of art, hopefully get to hear it next week. The garage is now sure they have the answers they need to sort the clutch out. 14868

Looks good! Probably will Sound even better :D
Let us know when you know what was the problem with the clutch, as it can help other owners in the future!

Thanks
