The A/C gas was quite low with lots of bubbles at the check window.

It looked like leaking from the compressor body itself but looking at the sticker on the body, it was replaced in the past.

I always recommend using the remanufactured Denso compressor if replacing or go for the OEM.
OEM one is also from Denso.








Lots of oil seepage under the eng.




However, the valve/rocker/head cover gaskets and also the round black cam disc under #4 cam holder were very dry at both the front and rear banks.
Therefore, the seepage is very likely to be from the VTEC Spool valves and also the small sealing bolts at the front cyl head.
Can be serviced without opening the engine but much easier when the engine is out of the bay.

Depending on the timing of next TB/WP service, decide what to do.




Poor GND point at the left side of the eng bay.....
Being bent and stretched….
Can't do much at this stage.....




This NSX has BC coilover with Swift spring.
If I don’t live in the area with steep speed hump, definitely one of the most reasonably priced yet capable of street and occasional track day coilover kit option.




Just be careful with the front rideheight. Looks like it scraped the under body a bit.

I can’t use this coilover combination and instead, I’ll need to go for the Bilstein with OEM spring.






Lots of hair line crack at the steering rack bush.
Not so common but many NSX will suffer from this.

    Hi Kaz

    could you provide details on where to order Swift springs or is this something i can do through you?
    could you confirm the specifications for the NSX if required such as spring rates etc if you need to do this during order process?

    thanks in advance

    Hi, Andrew.
    I don’t know the spec of your damper or chassis setup, let alone the revalve capability of the damper so hard to tell.
    You can select the spring by visiting the Swift Spring website.
    I use the one in Japanese but there are English website as well.
    It all depends on the entire package of your NSX and how you want to set it up.
