That's another option, but a re-gas would be most simple, I guess :)

If there's no other option, I would rather prefer to order new ones from Honda.

After writing to them, SGS would service the struts but can't send them back - that seems to be a dead end.
Contacts with several gas strut companies outside of the UK have all turned out ...

Thanks for the tip, that's a good starting point or potential option :)

Since the restrictions on Corona have lessened, I managed to drive the NSX more frequently and figured out that my engine glass damper isn't working sufficiently anymore.

There are some entries in...

Wow, just when I thought I had already seen PCBs in a bad state .. at least the affected area seem to be away from the non-standard parts.

That looks .. ehmm .. impressive :D

Could be the case - nice analysis. The owner who bought the car around that year wasn't aware of it.

A direct message via the the German Motortalk forum reached me. A distressed NSX driver was reporting about trouble with his radio head unit. The volume was unusually low, noise was generated when...

Nice, is it going to be wrinkled?

As promised, here's the update on the scratching wiper issue. Used the available time last Saturday to reinstall everything. The area under the cowl cover was cleaned and the new wiper arm linkage...

Since the site is back up, a quick update on replacements for Q9 and Q10 as well as Q14 to Q17.

Q9 and Q10 (responsible for AC compressor and AC fans) are NEC AN1L3N - a PNP type transistor in...

By far the worst condition CCU arrived a few weeks ago. The PCB was probably kept in a damages state for quite some time and the the acid turned the PCB silk screen into a dark black colour.

Update from the scratching wiper issue and a trip to the DIY store. Came back with this 25 mm rubber door stop:

Can be installed on top of the weather strip, at the centre hole. The weather...

Since the issue with the scratching wiper arm and colliding domed nut more and more sounds like an issue with the bonnet, some more detailed measurements were made.
With the bonnet closed, the...

Some more replies via e-mail and message services came in. All owners without the issue reported a distance from glass to centre of the bonnet of 50 mm. The reported clearance between the domed nut...

Thanks Jonathan for the images - they are illustrating the point nicely!
This looks like exactly the 5 mm clearance I'm missing on my NSX - either my hood sits too low or the wiper linkage assembly...

According to the manual the hood height near the glass is controlled via shims at the bonnet hinge - but the hinge bolts are untouched. All the gaps and heights are flush.
Further down towards the...

Checking with Andrew from NSX Prime: The clearance between the bonnet and the glass (is 40 mm but should be 45-50 mm) is too small and correspondingly affects the clearance between the domed nut and...

Spent the evening in the garage to install the new wiper linkage and hoping this would resolve the issue but I was wrong and I'm out of ideas

The new linkage has less play than the old one...

The used item turned out to be a brand new part (note the more-or-less undisturbed grease at the end of the linkage arm):

All that's required are the three motor mounting bolts and the...

Since Japan Post has suspended air shipment and the part is too big for surface shipment I'll try my luck with a used part that showed up.

After as significant delay I was able to install the new rubber grommets and a new wiper arm. The old rubber parts were in OK condition and unfortunately, the situation is nearly unchanged.
Since...

The amplifier on the right picture just came back to my desk - with a blown capacitor. The reason can already be seen on the picture above: Wrong polarization of the lower power stabilizing...

Maximum is 1 MB per picture. In case that's insufficient you can try increasing the compression before uploading - a trade-off, unfortunately.
