    by , 12-02-2011 at 12:55 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)


    One of the owner decided to go ahead with 6MT conversion and asked me for the easy solution on disabling the reverse gear while driving.

    So, I offered him the link to the product from KSP Engineering in Japan and after his confirmation, I ordered it for him.

  2. Digital Torque Wrench

    Probably, it was due to the cold winter we had but my digital torque wrench just gave up.



    It decided to stop displaying anything on the display even though all of the buttons were still responding.


    As I have a back up one for each torque ranges, it won’t cause me a problem and thanks for the Life Time Warranty, I just need to return it to the manufacture.


    Hope it will be back very soon.

    My NSX Health Check thread is now more than 560 posts and I on purposely kept all the posts in one thread so that I can create full backup of all the posts in one single page.

    It also allows me to easily search all of the posts for a specific text without using the search feature of the site or jumping through the pages because more than 560 posts are ...

    by , 09-02-2011 at 05:31 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)

    I regularly have meeting with NSX specialist in Japan and recently, I was informed of quite scary engine failure mainly on C32B engine.



    I spent more than a week to carefully consider whether I should share this information or not, as the cause of issue is still not clear.


    Also, I didn’t want to cause too much concern for the owners and ending up keeping NSX off the road.


    At this stage, the cause of this issue is not clear and ...

    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 ...
