    As NSX has built-in parking brake adjuster inside the piston, there are lots of extra parts involved for the Rear calliper OH process.

    In the process of installing the adjuster mechanism.


    Again, very important to check the smooth operation of the piston.

    Even for a super low mileage and fairly later spec NSX, the rust managed to get inside the calliper and pitted the surface of the piston.


    Even it looked very small, it was enough to prevent the piston from moving smoothly.


    Replaced with the new one.

  3. Brake OH 01

    Probably, the most neglected area on the UK based NSX, the brake system.


    After test driving so many NSX using exactly the same route and scenario, almost none of them passed my test for the brake system.


    The cause of the issue is simple.


    It was not properly overhauled (OH) at regular interval.


    In fact, on most of them, the system was never OH after they left the factory.

  4. TB/WP/Valve 03 – Brake Line issue

    by , 31-03-2011 at 11:27 AM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)

    While preparing the car to drain the coolant, I noticed that the brake line at the rear was very close to the sway (anti-roll) bar even at the full droop position.


    So, although it's going to slow me down, decided to put the tyres back on again and bounced the car a few times to settle the suspension and looked at the brake lines.

    Time to pressure bleed the entire system.


    The traditional theory of bleeding from the furthest point from the brake master cyl won’t apply for some of the modern cars.


    In fact, you can’t even bleed the air on some of the models without activating their ABS modulator.


    For most of the latest ABS on NSX, S2000, etc, you will bleed the system from the front side.


    You can still ...
