    Not great weather so instead of test driving session, started replacing the IG switch.

    No wonder why the owner was having difficulty starting the engine or keeping the engine running.

    The terminals were showing the fretting corrosion resulting in intermittent connection.

    Unfortunately, there was an additional wire attached to the existing ...

    Started to work on another NSX.
    The service menu is cooling system refurbishment, replace crank pulley, main relay and etc.


    As it was too wet and windy for any test driving sessions, decided to just have a quick look at the starting and power cut out issue that the owner was suffering from.



    On several occasions, the owner couldn't start the engine even with good cranking speed or the engine

    For the first time, decided to go back to the alignment
    place for the 2nd session as I was not happy with the
    test driving feeling.


    At the end, we carried out the whole process twice and
    confirmed that it was due to the status of the
    bush/damper/etc very likely to be at the rear side.


    Thank you to Leon at JPS Motorsport for spending extra
    hours on this NSX at free of charge for the analysis.

    The water proof sheets at both doors were in very poor condition.

    Looked like it was removed several times in the past and due to the heat and age,
    it can easily tear/crack.

    The butyl tape was also getting very old and some of the areas were no longer sticky
    enough to hold the sheet in place.

    I already

    I already refurbished the Bose AMP at the passenger foot well in the past for the owner
    and this time, he wanted to have both door AMPs to be done.

    The board is the revised one with different capacitor spec which was introduced
    around 96.
    It was revised one more time later so you need to be aware
