    I’m afraid, this doesn’t look good.


    At the bottom of the ABS reservoir, there were lots of black debris and even some silver dust were seen.


    Probably, the seal around the solenoids are worn or even the pump may have some problem.

    On releasing the pressure from the accumulator, more than 220cc of fluid came out.

    Replaced the fuel filter.


    Probably, very low mileage since the last time it was replaced as the fuel came out from the existing filter was fairly clean.


    New filter with the washers.

    Initially, we didn’t include the A/C Climate Control Unit (CCU) in the service menu.


    It was a good call to change the plan.


    Although the owner didn’t report any issues with his A/C, the CCU capacitors were already leaking and started to bite into the board…


    Looks like I'll be spending sometime with this board....

    Moving on to the Main Relay Service.


    Surprised that the owner didn’t feel any starting issues.


    The existing relay was from early 1991 and already showing the sign of soldering crack.

    Started to work on another NSX.


    Before bringing the NSX to my place, the owner tried to take out the drive shaft by himself but he couldn’t remove the spindle nut.


    It seemed that at least one of them was never removed in the past.


    Based on my advice, the owner took his NSX to HGV garage and asked them to remove the spindle nut using their heavy duty tool.


    Apparently, they ended up applying more ...
