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

Adjusted the TH cable play and locked it.
There was bit too much play when it arrived at my place.





In order to take the engine out, had to disconnect the brake hose so
pressure bleeding the system.
Unlike my full brake system overhaul, I didn’t have to replace the master cyl
so it was not emptied before start of the service and thus, much easier to bleed.


This NSX is equipped with the classic ABS so started the bleeding process from the rear left for RHD model.





Pressed hard on the brake pedal several times and then started to adjust the
parking brake as the cable end at the rear left was completely seized and kinked.

I had to set the adjuster to the loose side compared to other NSX so although
the owner mentioned that he had his calliper overhauled in the past,
I don’t think it was done at the rear (or at least at the rear left) and possibly
one/both piston at the rear is not moving smoothly.

There is no way the rear left calliper can be overhauled without removing the
parking brake mechanism which was completely seized at the time when it
arrived at my place.

Will check the adjuster again after the test driving session.





Placed back all of the interior parts as I had to disconnect the connectors around
the ECU and found one of the clip at the rear top panel was already dead and
even using the wrong spec.

Replaced it with the new one but as it was missing the alignment pin at the left side
and the clip holder on the panel side was already damaged,
the fitting was somewhat bit loose.





Filled the new oil filter with fresh engine oil.





After draining the old oil from the bottom, you can extract about 400cc extra
used oil from the top by using the vacuum extractor.

After fresh oil into the engine, fired it up and warmed it for a quick leak check.


Just need to adjust the coolant level after the test driving session as well as reset the ECU.

Done.
