  1. Air Con CCU Board Service B-01

    by , 15-05-2011 at 11:40 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)



    Recently, another owner sent in his CCU board to my place.


    It was intermittent but most of the time, nothing showed up on the display and thus, nothing worked.


    This board was the original spec so even if the NSX was kept in really nice condition, there is no chance in preventing the CCU issue to happen.

  2. Air Con CCU Board Service A-01

    Unless I can block several hours without being interrupted, I won't start the Valve Clearance adjustment service.


    As I couldn’t see it was possible to do so for the day, decided to work on the A/C Climate Control Unit (CCU).


    Another owner sent in his CCU board as well so it makes sense to work on them in parallel from efficiency point of view.


    This NSX that I'm working on at the moment is fairly new and ...

    It was nice meeting some of you today at Japfest.


    As I had several higher priority projects, I was not sure whether I can attend the event or not until the very last moment so only managed to wash the car and treat the seat leather the day before the event.


    It seems that Liquid Leather is one of the most preferred products to treat the leather but I have never used it.


    There are several feedbacks on this ...

    As the owner was experiencing the issue with the excessive current drain while the car was parked, the existing battery went down to completely flat several times and thus, we decided to replace it to be on the safe side.


    As the owner doesn’t track his NSX and also only drives it occasionally, not much point in using the racing lightweight battery.

    As mentioned in the past, although the TB itself is the same part between non-JDM and JDM NSX, JDM one will have extra items within the package and thus, uses different part no.

    TB installed and carefully tensioned by locking the crank shaft and tensioning each cam pulley.


    Once done, just check, again and again and again to make sure the timing ...
