Cooling Sys, Health Check, etc 10

Rate this Entry






Getting back to normal speed from yesterday but had to be cautious as I didn't want ending up in similar situation by moving my back too fast especially while under the lift.




Didn't like the trace of coolant leakage from this early design bleeder port at the heater core.
Not only it looked leaking from the rubber cap but also there seemed to be pin hole crack at the welding.
Polished it but still not happy with it so going to replace it with later spec pipe.




This NSX still has the R12 A/C system.
Very lucky if it still operates fine because from the efficiency point of view, it's better than R134a although the gas itself is getting fairly expensive and difficult to get hold of….
Seems like the evaporator shifted and allowing debris getting inside through this tiny gap.




GND cable was in very poor condition so going to replace it with a new one.




In the meantime, the battery is placed on the conditioner outside of the car.
It's for AT model so it has larger EN-CCA.






New coolant hoses installed at the front compartment.
New pipe installed as well.




New hoses at the centre floor tunnel.
There were several corrosion already happening even at these sections so not looking forward at the eng bay ones.....



As mentioned many times, what a short sentences for describing hours of tasks replacing all these coolant hoses......








Left side drive shaft spindle pushed out from the hub.
Seized but far better than the right side and not too bad with this new tool.




Time to tackle the most time consuming coolant hoses at the oil cooler. And there is only 2 hoses there…..




Where is my a/c compressor and vacuum pump……
I should have brought all of my old tools, parts, photos, etc from Japan as I only used 1/10 of the big container when I moved to UK….
