    by , 08-08-2012 at 10:42 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)




    As you may have already experienced, sooner or later,
    your gas damper/strut at the boot lid or the rear glass hatch will
    get weaker and no longer be able to hold the object in the air.


    This NSX has an aftermarket rear wing that is quite heavy
    compared to the OEM one.
    Because of this, the OEM gas damper has

  2. Seat Rail Slider Mechanism

    by , 07-08-2012 at 10:12 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)






    The owner was not happy with the loud noise when operating the
    slider motor of the driver seat.

    Yes, indeed. It was really noisy......
    So, took the seat out.


    Most of the time, you will first start to notice this noise when it is
    really cold in the winter and activate the slider motor.

    Just when I thought I can move on to the next service item,
    I noticed that the cabin temperature sensor (aspirator fan) was
    making annoying noise.

    all sorts of noise after the security system

  5. Driver Door Speaker Noise

    by , 07-08-2012 at 10:09 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)


    The owner mentioned that after the installation of the aftermarket security system,
    he lost the audio sound at the driver side speaker and
    only heard white noise or cracking sound.


    The AMP on this side was already replaced twice in the past.

    First time for the famous leaky capacitor issue
    together with other two AMPs at the passenger door and foot well.
