Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

By now, the battery is fully charged and just about to enter the conditioning mode.




Pressure bled the system (forgot to take the photo, sorry, but it’s my standard procedure any way).
As the disc and the pad are fairly new, I thought about setting the fluid level to the max but being as the track day metal pad, decided to set the level just at the lower side of the arrow.
With the slotted disc and metal brake pad, it will wear fairly quickly.


By the way, as mentioned many times on here, if you are not pressure bleeding the system and using the classic brake pedal pumping method, never floor the pedal unless you are replacing the brake master cyl. You are going to destroy the perfectly re-usable master cyl by flooring it.


As mentioned previously, I didn’t like the kinked brake pipe at the FR corner so kept the system under pressure for more than 1Hr for leak check.
Happy with the result so time to finish up the rest of the services.




Initially, when I discussed the service around the FR inner arch liner with the owner, I was under the impression that both the liner and the cover behind the a/c condenser fan were dead so planned to replace both of them.
However, looking at the existing liner, it was not perfect but still in really good shape so decided to just re-use it. I have spare later spec liner for the FR side in stock then.




As a pre-caution, checked the FL side and found most of the fasteners were missing.
I thought about using the cheap aftermarket fasteners because the thermal shock is not too bad at the front compared to the rear side but with the way the brake is used on this NSX, decided to use the OEM fasteners.




New cover behind the condenser fan at the FR side.
Not sure when this cover gone missing and whether it was before/after the fan motor failure but loosing this cover may have contributed for the cause of the motor failure as I had to replace the motor on one NSX that also lost this cover.




Now that all of the caliipers are overhauled and parking brake auto adjuster set properly, the position of the parking brake lever adjuster is back to the normal place for this year model.
Before/after.
