While waiting for the arrival of the parts from Japan, catching up with updating the blog.


2 x leaky solenoid. Improved by flushing them extra round.



1 x stuck closed solenoid.
There is a special flushing method for stuck closed solenoid but despite carrying it out 3 times, couldn't release it.

In the past, managed to fix this failure mode on several NSX by driving the car every day for like 7 days and each day, exercised the ABS while the tyre was cold.

The extra vibration and operation mode of holding and releasing the brake pressure seemed to help a lot in releasing the stuck closed solenoid.

I'll leave the rest to the owner as it's not cost effective unless doing DIY.





















Pressure bleeding the brake system.
















By the way, so many wires and parts around the parking brake lever adjuster….

Probably damaged at the time when they were installed…..

















No need removing the TH body when taking the intake manifold off the engine but since no coolant in the system, will be removed to get extra space.

Just carried out vacuum leak check and left the system for 40min.

No leak so happy with the result.

Will fill the system later after VVIS palte service.

Ready to take the intake manifold off.
























Package from Japan already in UK and waiting for clearing the Customs so should be with me very soon.
