    In order to take the engine out of the bay, I need to disconnect the
    RR wheel speed sensor connector that is located behind the boot carpet.

    I just couldn’t stand the awful smell of the boot carpet and also it was covered
    in grass and mud (probably, the owner loves playing golf).

    As the weather is getting better, decided to take the entire carpet out from
    the boot and going to pressure wash it followed by IPA

  2. Eng Refresh 01

    Have been working on another NSX for several days now so
    catching up on updating the blog.

    The service menu is the Eng Refresh + LMA and based on the previous
    investigation on this engine, it requires the head gasket job as well.
    Ideally, I wanted to combine as many services as possible while the
    engine is out of the bay but it is important to discuss the priorities with
    the owner as well.

    So, based

    I was not expecting any deliveries from US until mid/Apr so
    when I found the ‘While you were away’ card at the door step on Friday,
    couldn’t figure out what kind of parcel could be.

    Turned out, it was the high current capacity spec relays.

    Collected them from the local depot and considering the weather forecast and
    other projects, decided to finish the EPS service over the weekend.

    Before start working on the next NSX, another owner sent in
    his EPS controller.
    He started getting the EPS warning light on the dash and based on
    my previous blog and post, he read the error code and found out that
    it was the famous EPS code #22.




    Once again, it was the ver.023 EPS controller.

    My NSX is an everyday car and I drive it throughout the year
    including the winter season.

    When I moved to this country, first thing I noticed was the level of
    heavy corrosion on almost all NSX based in UK even with the ones
    not driven in the wet conditions or stored away for several months
    during the winter period.

    It looked similar to the corrosion level on the NSX kept close to the
    coastal area of Japan even
