  1. Health Check and Parts

    by , 25-02-2011 at 09:22 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)

    Since last August, I haven’t managed to carry out any Health Check as a stand alone service.



    I did carry out a few for the owners who booked their NSX in for the major service as it was time for another Health Check from the last one any way and having their NSX for a long period allowed me some flexibility in scheduling it.


    During the winter, it is not ideal for the Health Check as it will take at least 4Hrs and I don’t want the owners and ...

  2. Test Driving Session

    After reassembling everything, adjusted the tyre pressure before going out for the test driving session.


    The weather forecast was kind of a mixture of everything over the next few days and it would be warm for 2 days but getting cooler over the weekend.


    With this in mind, set the tyre pressure to OEM setup of 40/33psi for the Rear/Front and would like the owner to adjust it to his preference depending on the driving/weather conditions.

    Both joints were cleaned and inspected so ready for the rebuilt process.

  4. Drive shaft 06

    Although I kept trying to push out the RR alignment bolt until the end of today, I came to a conclusion that I won’t be able to achieve it with cost effective and safe method.


    Also, agreed with the owner that I won’t even try to pull the lower ball joint out based on the risk management.

    While waiting for the penetrating oil to work into the seized camber bolt at the right side, worked on the Left drive shaft.


    Initially, the spline at the outboard joint into the hub/knuckle was seized but managed to move it earlier this week using the hydraulic puller.

    Not easy to see from this photo but there were normal ...
