    Flushed the accumulator twice with fresh fluid and then moved onto four solenoids.


    While pressurising the accumulator, I noticed tiny amount of bubbles coming out of the return port.


    This means that at least one of the solenoid is leaking.


    After flushing one solenoid, the reservoir was emptied and fresh fluid was pumped into the accumulator to replace as much fluid as possible ...

  2. Advan Neova AD-08, Compliance Pivot, without ABS

    by , 16-02-2011 at 10:59 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    I have now covered about 4k miles on Advan Neova AD-08.



    I’m using OEM 16/17in wheels so the tyre size is 215/45/16 and 245/40/17.



    I have Type-S suspension and I use my own alignment setup so following comment may not be the case for you especially if you are using wider tyres.


    OEM tyre width is somehow quite narrow considering the characteristic and the spec of our NSX.


    Long time ago, I was ...

    Well, well… Surprise, surprise…


    Recently, my FL wheel speed sensor failed with open circuit and triggered the ABS Error code #13.


    I placed an order for the replacement.


    It was on back order with estimated 3 weeks lead time…


    Yesterday, I had to drive long miles for a meeting and the NSX was parked on the street in the rain.


    After the meeting, started the engine and the ABS warning ...

    After spending hours, finally, managed to move R & L drive shaft spline from the hub.


    I had to apply so much pressure using the hydraulic puller that I thought I would break the tool.


    I used this puller so many times but never had to apply this amount of force in the past.


    As I need to have maximum space especially on the left drive shaft to pop out the inboard joint, I’m ...

    After checking the circuit, it’s time to install the new capacitors.


    After cleaning the board one more time and carried out the inspection, applied the conformal coating to the board.


    At the same time, re-soldered two Main Relays (for another owner) and coated them as well.
