Kaz, thanks very much for your explanation.
Kaz,
I'll be coming home for R&R between 27th March and 9th if April, if possible I'd like to catch up with you and discuss some work I'd line done on my car.
Let me know when is best for you.
Jim
Hi, Jim.
Good to hear from you again and I can’t thank enough for what you are doing for everyone including someone like me from outside UK.
Will send you a PM later to discuss the subject further.
Regards,
Kaz
Kaz, wishing you and your country well in these very tough times. Stay strong.
Hi, gumball.
Thank you for your kind message and also the nice Japanese text in your signature area.
Now-a-days, I’m spending more time on the Blog section than the Forum as it is easier to manage each subject so please have a look.
There are lots of kind comments from other members towards my recent blog on Japan as well.
I’m just doing my bits helping not just the Japanese people but also those who happened to be in Japan from other countries.
There are lots of countries helping Japan including the rescue specialists (and dog) from UK so can’t thank enough for all these supports.
Regards,
Kaz
Thanks, I checked my '91 today. It has 38,500 miles and is due for a TB/WP change in a couple of years, but the crank pulley is original.
All of the posts are now backed up in a single page without the attachments (image files, etc.).
Hope it is useful for some of you in order to search through this thread without flipping over the pages.
Details can be found in one of my Blog post here; NSX Health Check Thread - search support.

Hello Kaz
can you please post the part number from the NSX-R clutch pedal
regards
Martin
Before going ahead with this project, you will need to significantly modify (cut, weld, etc) the Type-R CL pedal (RHD, JDM only) to install it on the LHD NSX. So, it’s not a plug and play.
Also, please check the pushrod length and the adjuster on the LHD CL master cyl are suitable for the Type-R pedal. CL master cyl body is different between LHD and RHD model but I have never compared the pushrod spec.
Depending on the country and year model spec, some of the CL pedal will have the notch/lever for the CL inhibitor switch built into the pedal itself. For Type-R, as it is JDM only, the notch/lever was not available on the NA1 pedal but available on the NA2 one. Depending on the spec of your NSX, you may not be able to start your engine unless you modify the electrical circuit or weld a metal piece to the CL pedal.
Type-R pedal requires different setup for the pedal height adjustment. Not easy to explain it and I’m not going to scan the manual and post it here for the copyright reason.
If you are going to adjust the pedal height using the Type-R pedal, you should consider installing the damper less joint at the same time. Otherwise, you may not have enough stroke length to completely disengage the CL resulting in grinding noise on selecting the gear.
From your other posts on NSXCB as well as on the NSX Prime, seems like you were doing some modifications on your NSX as well as selling parts.
If selling to other owners, please make sure to provide enough information.
NA1 Type-R: 46910-SL0-J00
NA2 Type-R: 46910-SL0-Z00 or N00

Hi,
"Don’t forget to replace the O-ring at the Oil Passage under the cam holder #1. There is one O-ring at each bank" its 91302-GEO-000 ,91308-PH9-000 ?

Hi, ozon02.
In Japan, 91308-PH9-000 was superseded to 91302-GE0-000 many years ago.
You need three of them in total.
One each under the #1 cam holder at F & R banks plus 3rd one at the bottom of the oil level gauge pipe.

Super info Kaz! I was wondering on this myself and looking at old NSX paper books service info. It's not even as good as your knowledge.
Maybe stupid question with my health condition, but do Japan move on quickly with part changes? And numbers?

"Applying torque to the bolts in the specific order in several turns using the digital torque wrench.
Very improtant process as this will affect the valve clearance adjustment later."
"specific order"-black numbers written on Bank Camshaft Holders?
"several turns"- 1 turns 1/3 specific torque,2 turns 2/3spec.torque
Interesting point and as you suspected, probably true.
The main factor would be the access to all these Honda models and NSX variants that are not sold outside of Japan.
Also, having factory Refresh plan changes a lot in parts availability/stock level.
Addition to these, the parts manufacture/assembly location, local regulation, language used/displayed on the parts itself, etc would change the parts no. as well as availability.
As seen on here and on NSX prime, there are many parts discontinued at Acura or Honda UK, Europe but still available in Japan.
Recently, Honda Japan changed the menu of NSX Refresh program that I’m quite sure it had some impact on the parts availability as some of them were kept within Honda for this purpose.
I just hope the parts manufactures keep producing these parts for our NSX despite the fact that they won’t make big profit out of it.
Kaz
Hi, ozon02.
Probably you are asking question and I like your style so I'll try copying it in my answer.
workshop manual. common procedure for this type of assembly. start from the centre, move outward in crisscross.
know-how, experience. metal temperature, how to apply eng oil to the bolt thread and seating surface of the bolt head. line boring, how camshaft floats at journal with eng oil molecule level.

Good day Kaz,
Yeah production stop is a bit of a problem, as you mention this is worse for all different models, years, country etc.
This has happened for Lamborghin too, they completely stopped producing parts for a few models I worked on. Even my own car, parts can't be purched any more.
Thank you for that kind reply and as always, great info.....
I have NSX paper work shop manual, old skool style. Then the old square style disc for compute, now proper round disce... But I pretty much don't need any as your help over years, is great....Also I'm frainds wiith a NSX spec guy in US who is very Clued in.
Who should see the paper book I have for my Diablo, it's just huge then a section open and folds out to show engine lol.
Hi, Geoff.
Thank you for showing your interest to my service and yes, I’m fine and really busy but still breathing.
Just replied back through email so please take a look.
There is long-long waiting list at the moment due to massive delay caused by new issues found every time when I started servicing NSX that I never serviced before.
Joy of working on the classic cars.
I’ve just made changes to the time I spend on servicing the NSX, discussion on parts stock, etc.
All these changes are positive but won’t make difference overnight so I’ll keep focusing on what I’m doing.
At the moment, my recommendation is to combine the Health Check with other services such as Brake overhaul, cooling sys refresh, annual service, etc.
Any way, please take a look at the email as that's the best way to contact me while handling lots of communications in the background.
You can contact me through WhatsApp if you need urgent support.
FB Messenger is OKish although I found out that not everytime I get the notification so hard to reach me through there....
Kaz
Hi Kaz....would like to know if you still carry out your inspection services please....
