  1. NSX Key

    by , 15-06-2011 at 12:09 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)



    The owner wanted to replace his key as the existing ones were showing the sign of fatigue.


    The top section of the key was covered in rubber like material and it already deteriorated and causing problem when trying to remove the key from the cyl.


    I think this rubber like material on the key is UK or EU (and possibly other countries) model specific as it is not used on JDM or US Acura models.


    Checked ...

    Before start bleeding the CL Hyd system, place the bleeder plug pointing upwards to help the bleeding process.


    As the master cyl was primed before the installation, it took just one pedal stroke before the fluid level started to change.


    However, super dirty black fluid kept coming out from the bleeder even after lots of pedal strokes with self top up container attached to the reservoir. ...

    Only managed to work on this NSX for a limited time today due to the wasp nest issue but started to replace the Slave Cyl.

    When looked at the area, noticed that the GBox GND point was pushed away heavily in the past.


    It was still secure enough so it should not cause any electrical issues but something to be reviewed at the time of next clutch disc service. ...

    I was hoping to spend more time on this NSX today but had to change the plan as I found the wasp nest in the back garden.


    Last year, bumble bee decided to nest behind our gas meter box but it didn’t bother me and as I was told that the number of bumble bees are declining, decided to leave them.


    This year, it’s the wasp…..


    It was still small and not annoying us at this stage but.... ...

    While removing the coolant hoses and blower motor fan for other services, decided to finish the Clutch Hydraulic service.

    It is one of the most common failures on our NSX.


    Sooner or later, you will see the fluid leakage from the Master/Slave cyl or from the hose where the fitting is crimped.


    Almost all of the failure with the CL Hyd system will start as a tiny leakage so it is important to deal ...
