  1. CL Hyd System 01

    by , 15-11-2011 at 10:24 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)




    The owner commented that from time to time, he was having difficulty on selecting gears on downshift only.
    He didn’t feel any issues for selecting 1st or Reverse gear from standstill and no issues with upshift.

    I suggested the owner that it is very unlikely to be Clutch (CL) Hydraulic (Hyd) System related but the owner wanted to replace it any way as there was a sign of leakage at the Slave Cyl and start from there.

    I test ...

    A few years ago, I replaced all of the coolant hoses, thermostat, header tank, cap, etc on this NSX and the owner now wanted to have the Type-R tank cover.

  3. SRS Warning Light 01

    by , 15-11-2011 at 10:22 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)




    Started to work on another NSX.







    The owner reported that all of a sudden, he got the red SRS warning light
    on the dash.
    It seemed that it happened when he accidentally kicked the panel under
    the steering column while trying to get out of the car in a hurry.

    He checked the ...

  4. A/C CCU Board Service 02

    Looks like the site is back and up running again.
    Still seems bit slow even over the optical fibre link but better than not having access at all.
    It was the same over the previous weekend so hope it will be stable this time….



    I’m already having lots of fun working on this board.

  5. A/C CCU Board Service 01

    by , 11-11-2011 at 10:37 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)







    After taking the recent NSX Health Check Service, one of the owner decided to send in his CCU board and the cabin temperature sensor (aspirator fan).


    During the Health Check, I carried out the CCU Self Diagnosis Test as well as the Function & Operation check and these highlighted the issues on this CCU board.

    The cabin temperature sensor was very noisy due to lots and lots of dust trapped inside the ...
