Final Touch 02

Rate this Entry











This NSX left the factory with 2nd gen. ABS so I was expecting not so much of trouble flushing the system.
However, when this NSX arrived at my place, the fluid level was well over the max line.

Normally, with healthy 2nd gen. ABS, I'll get millions of tiny bubbles when activating the solenoid.
However, on this NSX, large bubbles with gurgling noise came out when activated the outlet valve so
clear sign of huge amount of air inside the accumulator and possibly even inside the ABS piston chamber.

So much bubbled fluid recovered into the ABS T-wrench.








At the end, I had to flush both the inlet and outlet valves multiple times.







Finally, happy with the clear fluid returning to the reservoir.
Will adjust the fluid level after the final short test driving session.
Applied silicone grease on the connector bracket in a hope to prevent future corrosion.








With so much rain, couldn’t wash the car that day so no test driving session.
Still, didn’t want to put any markings on the new car mat so placed cardboard for now.








The following day, washed the car, blow dry and quick short test driving session.
Activated ABS several times to trigger the ABS pump and then no more activation before adjusting the fluid level.

Cool down session, adjusted the ABS fluid level and once the engine has cooled down, final detailing of the eng bay.
Beautiful.

Although already re-torqued after the 2nd test driving session, reminded the owner to re-torque the wheel nut again as
I only covered less than 40miles before re-torqueing them.






After nearly 3months, finally the car is ready to be returned.

Thank you for using my services and waiting patiently for the extra time required for the extra services required.
Glad you enjoyed the driving on the way back.

Looking forward to meeting you and your NSX again in the future.


Regards,
Kaz
