I removed both the conformal coating (with acetone & q-tip) and the green solder mask (with x-acto knife). You can see in the image the scratches on the board. The conformal coating is easily removed with the acetone. I did not reapply any conformal coating after the rework since I am not...

Hi Guys, long time no post. Last February my 92 NSX with 105K miles would not start. The engine turned over but would not fire. I had it towed home and tried again, this time it started. So obviously an intermittent problem. A quick search led me to this post and I made a mental note of how...

Sold for $120.

I am selling a pair of Exhaust Test Pipes that I purchased for my 1992 NSX. They were purchased in the early 2000's and I used them for a few months when I had the Basch supercharger installed. They have been unused since that time and are in good shape (see posted picture). The pipes were...

Climate control board repair is also available through Dali Racing, San Diego. The actual repair is performed by me.

For a new capacitor, the actual life in the application will depend primarily on its operating temperature. The temperature of the CC board will be higher than the cabin temperature of the NSX because it is enclosed in a plastic box and the power dissipation of the board and display is more...

I have repaired units from 1991 through 2000 model years and I suspect that there are later years that have the same issue. As BrianK stated, time and heat are the enemies for electrolytic capacitors. The circuit design appears to be identical for all model years so it seems that there were no...

Replacing just the leaking capacitors is risky because all 13 capacitors will leak eventually. I have repaired two boards so far that previously had some caps replaced and the original caps that were not replaced leaked at some later date.

I'm looking for tire recommendations for my stock 1992 NSX. My last set of tires were Bridgestone Potenza S03 in stock sizes (205/50-15 & 225/50-16) which lasted 15K miles under street driving conditions. I was happy with the S03's performance and now I am looking for a replacement with a...

The 8 pin DIN connectors used on the SmarTenna are manufactured by Hirschmann. http://hus.hirschmann.com/English/index.phtml The connectors I used are just the internal plastic shell and contacts, not the shroud. At the time I purchased them (about 10 years ago), the distributor had a 1000...

9doors, I'm glad to hear that the SmarTenna works with the GROM iPod adapter. Can you list the order an location that the components are connected when the GROM iPod adapter is installed in your NSX? Without the adapter, the order of items is: NSX head unit --> SmarTenna (in trunk) --> CD...

Hi Guys, The SmarTenna was designed about 10 years ago when the IPOD was just a dream. I have not tested it with the various IPOD adapters on the market so there are no guarantees that it will work correctly. The SmarTenna uses the data line connected between the NSX head unit and the CD...

BrianK, Very nice test setup. Another option would be to add a switched harness to my '92 NSX so that I could plug in the CC board and test it on the NSX with the engine running. It would "only" require about 30 relay contacts. :-0 Regarding the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual (ETM), I...

BrianK, The tests I perform consist of the following: Continuity to verify all repaired traces. Measure 5V regulator voltage. Verify front panel display and all buttons select the proper item. Verify fan HI request relay operation. Verify display bright/dim function. In the future I would like...

This posting is part information and part advertisement. The informational part: I have posted two pictures that show an NSX climate control board prior to being repaired. The original electrolytic capacitors start to leak over time (years) and corrode the circuit board pads, traces and...
