    Based on the recent Health Check Service, started to work on another NSX.

    • Replace cracked Header tank and unknown condition of the coolant
    • Replace Main Relay
    • Erase old TCS error code

  3. Header tank and cap

    With the age and the heat, the coolant header tank will turn into dark yellow colour over the years and sooner or later, it will start to crack around the middle section where the upper and lower sections were glued together.


    Also, you may see the crack around the neck area where the cap sits.

    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
