    Sealing a tail light (yes I've searched!)

    I did search and saw all of those threads, none of those actually answer the question as to where people run the silicon or where the tail lights actually open up. The closest in those was people talking about sealing between the black plastic and the red clear part but they did it to the very...

    Sealing a tail light (yes I've searched!)

    I know this has been discussed before and I have searched, but can't find any photos of this as past discussions are all too old. Real quick background: - I get condensation in my left tail light and centre garnish piece, and water in my trunk - I have replaced all tail light gaskets - after...

    TCM computer unplugged

    I installed a GROM USB adapter today in the common spot behind the left seat, when doing this I noticed that there are 3 plugs to the TCM computer which were all unplugged. This is a JDM 1990 manual. This is not wildly unsurprising in that my traction control has never worked and pushing the...

    Brake lamp warning bypass... what am I doing wrong?

    Ok, I think this is my bad. I assumed the brake lights and high level brake light were all on the same circuit, the fix that I've done here appears to disable the Brake Lamp waning light if for example you replace the regular bulbs with LED bulbs in the brake lights, but this is not necessarily...

    Brake lamp warning bypass... what am I doing wrong?

    I've put a different LED high level brake light into my car as I don't have the factory rear wing, so this naturally means the Brake Lamp warning light on the dashboard comes on. I've done the bypass as per other posts on this site by connecting the white wire with green stripe to black wire...

    New J-Spec NSX, some pics and questions

    This is a pic of where the cabling goes from the green connector, it's basically up under the glovebox (remember this is a RHD car) and continues up to near the trunk on/off switch from what I can feel with my fingers, to see any more I'd have have to disassemble the glovebox or dashboard parts...

    New J-Spec NSX, some pics and questions

    Thanks for the responses, I just saw wires sticking out of sensors in the exhaust and figured they must O2 sensors... silly me. I've owned a LOT of JDM imports from the 90's in my time, I should have recognized that as the sensor for the cat over temp warning lights as on most Nissans and...

    New J-Spec NSX, some pics and questions

    I've been working on my newly imported J-Spec NSX and have a couple of questions I hope you can help me out with. We're currently in lockdown in Melbourne Australia due to our friend Covid-19 so I can't even take some nice pics of the exterior since I got it, this is about all I can do sitting...

    Be careful with Ryco oil filter part numbers...

    Nothing catastrophic, maybe "I learned this the hard way" was a bit vague. It clearly didn't fit so I just had to go back to Autobarn and have an argument with them about how it didn't fit even though they were claiming their computer system said it was definitely the right part. The thread...

    Be careful with Ryco oil filter part numbers...

    Let me save someone here some heartache, some computer systems and books (I found this with both Autobarn and Repco) list the Ryco oil filter for an NSX as part number Z547. This is wrong! The correct Ryco oil filter part number is Z336, the Z547 filter definitely doesn't fit even though Ryco...

    Roof trim sagging

    Ok, for future J-Spec owners who want to know how to remove these, I hope this helps. The suede panel is held on to the ceiling trim piece with clips, some photos are attached. I gently pried on the edge and worked my way around. If you're gentle and take your time it's not too hard, the main...

    Roof trim sagging

    Hmm that's definitely standard on Japanese spec NSX's. Mine's a 1990 with these suede parts, here is a photo of a Japanese 1991 auto with the same parts: <img src=http://www.j-spec.com.au/customers/nsx_25.jpg>

    Roof trim sagging

    Sorry my bad, this is in a J-Spec coupe. Here is a pic of the roof, I want to know how the suede-like pieces are attached as ideally I'd like to remove the one that's sagged without removing the whole plastic roof piece, which does sound like quite a job. I can pull on the edge and it comes...

    Roof trim sagging

    The suede square piece in the roof trim above my head is sagging down in the middle, it feels like it's glued to the roof but the glue is no longer sticky enough. It only drops by about an inch but it's enough to touch my hair and makes the interior feel a bit smaller than it is. I want to...

    Importing NSX from Japan under new import rules

    I'm an Australian NSX owner (just imported my own, registered it 4 days ago!) and I import cars for a living so I'd be happy to help. Give me a call or shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss in more detail (info at http://www.j-spec.com.au) but here are a few comments on what you've said...

    Turn signals not working

    Thanks guys, sorted. It was the fuse in the box under the hood. The system is so simple I was kind of shocked it wasn't the fuse in the cabin, I didn't realize there were two different fuses relating to the same system.

    Turn signals not working

    I was working on the side turn signal in my NSX, this is the one on the front fender on a Japanese spec car. I was fiddling with some LED turn signals and just thought I'd test one for a moment to see if it hyperflashes, I removed the original bulb with it flashing and as I was about to push...

    How many Victorian NSX's are still about?

    Soon to be owner in Melbourne here. Car is currently sitting at the port in Japan waiting to be shipped, see pic attached (it snowed while it was being transported there so it's FILTHY). I'd definitely be interested in a meet up in a couple of months once I have it! Ben

    Downforce i take vs cold air intake

    You're reading my mind Honcho, that's exactly what I was planning on trying out (if my NSX was in the country!). A couple of bucks and a Saturday of messing around is easily worth it to learn something, even if ultimately unsuccessful. Let me know how you go...

    Downforce i take vs cold air intake

    I see a bit of talk about removing the stock snorkel or replacing it with a Downforce intake scoop here, I'm interested to know people's opinions on this: That's slightly cheaper than the Downforce intake and I doubt the ram air affect really does anything, I'd mostly be chasing a bit more...

    Help identifying aftermarket parts on Japanese NSX

    That sounds like an unusual move, how can much better is gen 2 ABS to warrant that amount of effort? I'd rather not say the exact amount I paid for my car, but for a an NSX in a manual (I think Americans would be surprised at just how many NSX's in Japan were auto) and a 1990 - 1992 (which...

    Help identifying aftermarket parts on Japanese NSX

    Thanks guys, appreciate the input. I thought the front bumper would be the easiest part, but it's about the only thing I haven't identified now. NSX_n00b: you're correct, this is the same design as the Type S steering wheel, but it does have the Zagato design stamped on it. Thanks for the...

    Help identifying aftermarket parts on Japanese NSX

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help identify some aftermarket parts on an NSX I've recently bought from Japan (1990 NA1). Pics are still in Japan as it'll be a while before it can be exported to Australia. Attached are photos, some of them I can work out but I'm interested if anyone can...
