    As pointed out to the owner last time, it was possible that the noise was coming from the cracked welding at the exh. bracket.


    So, to test it, I applied high temp non-melting grease into the cracked section.


    It made some difference but still some noise was there.




    There were two exh pipes with only about 2mm gap at the rear left side of the aftermarket exhaust but even when ...

    Recently, I worked on one of the NSX for the squeaking noise caused by the Front CAT heat shield scratching against the metal bar at the aftermarket diffuser.


    After testing the car on the dual carriage way and some heat soak condition as seen in my Blog dated 28/Jan/11, the car was returned to the owner.


    Unfortunately, when the owner got off the motor way and drove into the city area, he started to hear the noise again.

    He also ...

    Good call to replace the header tank. It was already cracked and leaking the coolant.


    The coolant hoses were also didn't feel healthy so at the time of TB/WP service, it would be best to replace all of them.

    You can replace the header tank without loosing too much coolant but I always bleed the air afterwards     ...

    After replacing the Crank Pulley on one NSX yesterday, another owner visited my place in the evening to leave his NSX at my place.


    Today, I'm working on it.


    The menu is to replace its Crank Pulley, Coolant header tank/cap and the yellow clips at the windshield lower molding.


    Long time ago, when I worked on this NSX, I had to remove the widshield lower molding.


    At that time, I had limited spare yellow clips and     ...

    Another owner visited my place for a quick Crank Pulley replacement.


    I already had the pulley since last September but just couldn’t find spare time convenient for both of us and only managed to arrange the service now


    This one is for the MT.
    AT has different design/diameter.


    It’s always challenging to loosen the pulley bolt on UK based NSX.
