    Most of the city area in Japan will have the optical fibre link ready to be connected inside the house.


    And because of the competition between the providers, the discount rate is quite big and you could get 100Mb broadband at only around GBP15.


    In UK, BT started the Infinity service that has the download speed of up to 40Mb and 10Mb for the upload.


    In order to carry out some research for their new products ...

    From time to time, I experienced big issue with the seized bolts and nuts on our NSX.

    Following information was supplied from our member ‘Graham’ on this site.


    He already successfully tested this method and managed to remove the heavily corroded bolt that I could only rotate but ...

  3. Drive shaft 01

    Once again, time to work on the drive shaft.


    Although both spindle nut were very tight, managed to remove them by soaking them in the penetrating oil over night.


    However, at least the right side one looked to be never removed from the hub in the past.

    It is super tight and won’t move at all even using the hydraulic puller.

    Started to remove the parts around the engine in preparation for the compression check.

  5. Gas Damper, Air scoop

    You could recharge the gas if you want to but getting the new one from Japan is also a good option.


    It comes with the stud bolt as well.


    Now I don’t need to hold the Eng Hatch glass with my special padded bloom ...
