    Started opening the calipers and had to inform the owner that I will need extra days.


    Even for the late production model close to 2005, if the caliper service was neglected, there is very little chance of surviving without the rust getting inside the caliper.
    This is especially true for UK based NSX even for the ones kept inside the nice beautiful garage.
    For some reason, caliper overhaul is not included in the standard Honda service schedule on all Honda models

    As reported earlier, caliper pistons were in very poor condition.
    Only one of them could be re-used and other five had to be
    replaced with new ones.
    Parts for the front OH and addition to these, other chemicals are

    Nothing new here….. Just keep cleaning the internal and external caliper parts…..




    Received the caliper and bracket back from Bigg Red.

    Once again, they had bubbling and running of polymer on a few parts but
    far better than the last occasion.

    In fact, you won’t notice them unless you really look for them.

    Although I managed to push back all pistons at the front calipers,
    the movement was not consistent.

    And as expected, there is no way I can re-use them……


    None of the caliper slider pins were seized so it looked like someone serviced them in
    the past but not quite.

    All four pistons must be

    There was no crack at the coolant header tank but
    all of the coolant hoses looked very old.


    In fact, on the later spec NSX,
    you will be able to see the manufactured date stamped on most of the hoses.


    Just squashed all of the big and mid sized hoses including the ones under
    the centre floor from several
