  1. Brake Master Cyl, Goodridge Brake Line

    by , 24-02-2012 at 10:37 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)



    This time, we are going to replace the master cyl and the brake lines.

    Considering the unknown state of the master cyl, decided to replace it rather than
    overhauling it.

    Thank you to continuous support from Goodridge for the custom made brake lines
    using the NSXCB special parts no..

    Before installing the master cyl, had to spend extra time cleaning the brake pipe fittings as they were all rusty and corroded.


    This process is a ‘MUST’ if you are installing the Goodridge brake line as their mating coupler uses almost all of the thread on the OEM pipe fitting.

    Fitting is made from soft material so need to be careful during the cleaning process.

    Again, mark ...

    Managed to find some time to work on the NSX today.


    As mentioned a while ago, instead of cleaning and overhauling the heavily leaked/corroded master cyl, decided to replace it with new one including the reservoir, filter, cap and the fluid level sensor.

    Once again, time to clean the parts… So much brake dust and the grease was already dried out that the cleaner fluid immediately got dirty…

    During the Health Check, informed the owner that the master cyl looked to be leaking.

    And yes indeed, it was leaking quite a lot…

    It is time consuming and could waste lots of brake fluid if the master cyl was completely dry prior to bleeding process.


    Therefore, I prefer bench bleeding the master cyl before the installation.

    You need to first pour some fluid in the reservoir and then tap on the cyl body many times from different angle as well as tilting the body in a specific angle.


    If you have ever ...
