NSX Refresh

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Sudesh... do you know what exactly needs to be customized to install this pedal on a LHD??

Hi Nuno,

I'm sorry I don't.

I've never been in a LHD model or worked on one, and not likely to see a LHD NSX where Im based, so I don't know if it would fit, or what would be be needed if some kind of modification work had to be done to get the pedal to work on LHD.

Sorry not much help on this occasion.

For your reference, unless you are happy to cut, modify and weld the Type-R CL pedal, it won't fit on LHD model.
The offset of the pedal is simply won't allow you to install it on LHD model.

Also, I don't know the pushrod length/spec of CL master cyl is suitable for Type-R pedal adjustment as master cyl shape is different and sided between RHD and LHD model.

Some nice new bits arrived.

Genuine new NA2 NSX-R Battery bracket and bottom mounting plate along withe the NSX-R battery

JDM spec rear tail light.

After a new DC header install on Andrews car, he had to replace an 02 sensors.

But after the install there was still some issues as the CHECK engine light was coming on.

Read the fault code which was displaying as the rear O2 sensor, which was the one that was replaced. I checked all the wiring etc as someone else done the header/02 install at the time, so I was just tracking back through everything.
Wiring looked ok, so I disconnect the sensor at the plug to read on the multimeter. The sensor was not showing the correct OHM, it was well below spec. The sensor was a low cost option from ebay, so at least not out pocket too much.

New NTK sensor was ordered and arrived very quickly, much more impress visually to look at than the cheaper one and also came with the 4pin grey OEM type plug; however with the NEW haeader I had to extend the existing wires slightly.

So I popped the cap over the O2 sensor and taped it up just to keep it clean.



Stripped back the wires, cut and solder in the extension


I then use 2 cores of heat shrink tubing to make sure its all nice and snug and safe.

Then basically repeat for all 4 wires, little time consuming but better that putting stress on a stretched cable, plus this way I was able to route this one back in its original clips.

Many thanks for the kind words and taking the time to go through my thread.

Ill pull get the part number from my NSX file when I get home and let you know.

I forgot that the NSX-R was only made for RHD, sorry to say mine is LHD so I can't use the clutch pedal.
Soo you don't have to find the partnr for me.

But I have a question for you.
Could you please tell why my batterylamp flashes at high rpms?

[Sudesh]

Without seeing the car and doing some tests I would ave to say, first check the belts are tight and not slipping, but more that likely, the alternator is on the way out, voltage regulator and brushes possibly bad. It would be worth having it tested it and reconditioned.

I had a similar issue on an old rover coupe, which believe it or not, had a Honda engine! Anyway it was doing what you described. Starts off, the battery light would flash not too Often, Then gets more frequent over the weeks/months then eventually it will just stop working. I had the alternator reconditioned and it was fine after that.

A Tomcat & not a P5B, obviously!

Regulator went on my X-1/9; the battery exploded when I downshifted to 3rd gear. Same place as an NSX and it went with a bit of a 'whump!' & a smell.

Sounds like possibly a knackered slip ring. Alternator exchange recommended.

Nah Nick, it was only a 1.6 Coupe I had, was only 17 at the time and on my R plates lol. Although I had the tomcat wheels and spoiler etc. it's one of those cars I always fancied again, would love the Tomcat in red, was very rare to see them in red, most were that dark blue color.

Battery exploding doesn't sound good, really bad if the acid gets on the paint or anything vital, smell is dreadful, rotten eggs comes to mind lol

[Nick Graves]

That's the smell! Sounds like you've got the T-shirt...

The battery cover & tray contained the aceed and the fragments actually managed to start the engine again. Good ol' Magnetti Marelli!

good work sudesh, was the ebay o2 sensor a denso? i had to replace the one in the CAT on my rx8 and it was one.
so i got a bosch o2 sensor, the wiring is really long, so my mate had to cable tie it up a few loops lol.
at least they know to make longer wires.
