Lots of Parts from Japan

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Hi, all.

Over the past few weeks, I was helping many NSXCB members with their CCU (Climate Control Unit) control board.
Several members visited my place to have their CCU installed after the service and at the same time, I was offering the NSX Health Check service when I had spare time. It would take about 3 hours and I would list up the recommended future services with the priorities.

I’ll try to post something regarding this service in the future.

Some of the members decided to go even further and left the car with me to work on their NSX during my spare time or placed the orders for the parts based on the result of the health check.

Followings are some of the parts that I ordered recently for my friends and for myself.

Now I need to find some spare time to fit these parts….

1. CCU light bulbs

I already replaced all of the light bulbs on the instrument panel (meter/gauge) and that made huge difference during the night driving.
Looking at the CCU, it looked quite dark around the two big dials so decided to replace the light bulbs. There were two light bulbs and one of them was actually dead and the other one was almost black. Replaced both of them and now I’m happy to drive the car in the dark.


2. Passenger knee panel under the glove box

Not sure the correct English name for this part but long time ago, when I tried to install the key-less entry system, I accidentally broke off the small tab sticking out from this part. It was there to prevent this panel to rattle. It started to rattle recently so I decided to replace it with the new one. I saw lots of NSX with the same damage to this panel and after replacing it, the rattling noise was gone.


3. Type-R Clutch pedal and Damper-less joint

If you don’t like the height and feeling of the clutch pedal at the bite point, this is one thing you can try. These are the clutch pedal and damper-less joint from the Type-R. It will provide you with more direct/solid feeling and due to the clever angle of the pedal, the pedal height at the bite point will be lowered without any bad side effect.


4. Clutch slave cylinder and the clutch hose + O-ring

If you find a leakage at the Clutch Master or Slave cylinder, replace both of them at the same time. Also, if you haven’t done so, please replace the clutch hose and O-ring as some of the owners experienced burst hose due to the aging.


5. Coolant hoses – 23 of them

These are the regular maintenance items. There were several reports on the burst hose especially at the ones under the header tank, the small/short one at the Oil cooler and the one in the middle of the body under the floor.
