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

The fuel cap was not tight at all.

It was due to this cap retaining cable at the filler neck.

When tried closing the cap, probably this cable was trapped and sandwiched at the thread preventing the cap to rotate any further.

Never seen this on other UK based NSX so probably it took set and repeated the same issue.

I don't think this cable is on the JDM.

There is a holder for the cap at the filler door so probably something to do with the local regulation???



















The evaporator was too cold to check the refrigerant level of the A/C system.

However, this A/C fitting at the condenser was very wet and looked as if continuously leaking.

Hope I can check the pressure when it gets warmer....

















Both front tyres are now over 7 years old yet plenty of tread left.

You can't judge the state of the tyre by just the age but in general, after 3 years old, it will lose the initial performance of the new tyre and
I won't trust any tyres more than 10 years old.

Please consider replacing them in the near future for the safety reason even though they still have lots of meat left.





















When I first saw this NSX long time ago, I didn't like the way the aftermarket brake lines were installed.

Looks like someone re-installed them and now they are in much better state.

Not an issue but looks like the flange of the fitting of the RR brake line is not sitting at the right angle.

Either the bracket was partially bent or something trapped.

















The inboard joint of the R drive shaft.

Someone removed the drive shaft and possibly re-packed the grease as the boot bands are not OEM ones and also the spindle nut is not the one from the factory.

There was trace of tiny grease sitting at the edge of the boot but nothing splashed around the area so probably it's the residue from the previous service and not cleaned well.

Also, there were markings on the damper body so 100% confirmed that someone lifted the hub carrier in order to remove the outboard joint spline from the hub.























Very rusty exhaust section.

Nothing new.

Looked like the spring loaded bolts were not tight enough at one of the ball socket joint but not leaking so going to leave them.
