Comrades,
I have a '91 with 80K miles. I had the dealership change the oil (full Synthetic, as always) just 1K miles ago. The only mods I'm aware of are an Prospeed Stage 3 ROM Chip (I don't believe it changes the rev limiter setting), headers, and exhaust. However, I'm not the original owner...
I have a deep knocking sound in cylinder 2. Haven't gotten into the motor yet, but assume its a rod bearing at minimum. From what I've read here, it may be cheaper to just swap out the engine, so checking the market to see what's available. Not interested in a race motor, I just want a good...
I replaced the passenger-side window yesterday, and found an easy way to remove the latch rod; Once the rear sash bolts are removed, you can stick a long screwdriver through the sash bolt hole (the one with the hex head) and pry the latch rod off. Be sure to lube it up first. Mine came off, and...
My passenger window would only roll down about 1/2 way, so I took off the panel to have a look. The Fixit thingy is fine, cables are taught, but both of the slider blocks that mount to the glass and slide inside the rear guide have come off.
They were laying loose, completely detached from...
Re: Prospeed Hi-Flow Catalytic Converters!
I purchased the Hi-Flo cats and ROM Chip combo a few months back. I'm very satisfied with the results! The car sounds and smells much better at idle than it did with the test pipes. No problems with the o2 Sensors. The fitment of the Cats was superb...
Turns out the OEM cats were coming in contact with the rear sway bar, which was causing the knocking sound. Perhaps my DC Sport headers don't fit as well as the stock headers, causing the bottom OEM cat to sit too low.
Anyway, I bought the Prospeed High Flow Cats (much smaller and lighter)...
I recently replaced my "test" pipes with a used set of stock catalytic converters. Since then I've noticed 2 new sounds;
1. At cold start, it pops once like a backfire as soon as I turn it over. After that, it runs like a champ. This, I assumed, had something to do with the cats.
2. With car...
When I bought my used '91 NSX, it came with test pipes, DC Sports Headers and Remus Exhaust. It ran great, but smelled bad and didn't pass emissions, so I found a set of used stock cats, bought the 4 round metal gaskets from Acura, and removed the test pipes.
I noticed there were no gaskets...
Set of rare JDM Advan wheels complete with all Center caps, trim rings, fasteners and 4 Hub-centric Spacers for NSX.
They came with the car, and I put 1k miles on them before changing out. They ride solid and there’s still plenty of life on the tires.
Good track setup as is, but the...
There are bolts that hold the front stabilizer as well.
I reccomend taking off the wheels and start tugging on all the moving parts, checking for anything loose. That's what I did.
My rear OEM brake shims have some rust on them, and the coating is peeling off. Since the pads themselfes are practically new, I'm not quite ready to get a whole new set.
I found an online catalog offering new front shim sets for $14...
Success!
I revisisted the air pressure suggestion, this time mounting the caliper body in a vice. With both hands free, I put the piston in place and slid a 3/4" wood block behind it. While holding the piston firmly and dead center against the boot, I injected air through the brake line inlet...
I tried the mylar sleeve approach with no success. Afer inserting the sleeve into the cylinder, the front of the caliper body gets in the way when trying to insert the piston into the sleeve.
Does anyone know the procedure a certified tech would follow?
