Still on hold. I am knee deep in the restoration of a '62 MB 190SL and my NSX refuses to start in my storage unit. Looking through the NSX manuals tonight to find what the problem could be. I will post here as soon as I have the work done. Thanks for your interest. Frank

Everything on hold for the moment, but I will let you know when they are installed.

Solution to my Shock Problem Thanks everyone for the great discussion. I decided to go with the B6 Bilsteins on all four corners because the car IS 30 years old and I have a reliable NSX Tech where I live right now. Only one shock is leaking, but I got my money's worth out of the original...

Thanks for the contact. Mita had a couple other things I needed, as well.

More Information There is one shock with a slight leak, the other three are fine. Going back in the paperwork, the original shocks have never been replaced. Mileage on the car is 90K (1991) and there is little "return" remaining when you press down on front or rear ends. With two people in...

Correction Sorry, I didn't answer your question correctly. You are correct, the OEM part is no longer available in the U.S. The dealership is using their approved replacement part for the price quote. No particular brand specified on their sheet just a replacement parts #and generic picture.

Wanting to stay all original if possible. Like you say, if they're not available, does anyone have a suggestion (a favorite someone has used) as to which brand I could use as a substitute that is non-performance?

Hey guys: Am at the dealership this morning. Need to replace my original springs/shock arrangement on all four corners as they have NEVER been replaced. Of course, very expensive from the dealer. Is there another source where I can order the ORIGINAL replacements online? Don't race the car...

Freesaints: Have any idea if your stock exhaust would be the proper fit for my'91 automatic? Frank

Thanks to all of you that responded. I have found someone to make the trade with. Frank

Hi everyone: I have a Comptech Sport rear engine brace installed on my '91 that I would like to trade to someone for the stock brace (please see attached pictures). I am trying to get my car back to OEM specs for AACA judging in February (which should be an absolute hoot if you are familiar...

Just wanted to give everyone an update on what I finally did with my power antenna. After multiple tries to repair my original power antenna with the factory replacement mast, I gave up and bought a new O.E.M. power antenna from eBay. The quote from my excellent Acura dealership in SLC was...

Larry: Good point. I'll double-check it to see if there might still be a piece inside from the original tail. I have let this project slide while working on another car, but will get back on it to close out the original post. Larry, side question while I have your attention: in your...

Thanks, guys for your advice. I installed an Interstate MT7-34R, the listed replacement for an automatic. Fit securely under the bracket. It was an amazing $255 dollars but what can you say? It's my NSX!

1991 Automatic What is everyone using for replacement 12 volt batteries these days? Brand, and Group # please. Thanks, Frank

Thanks for the input Old Guy and Kaz-k. You touched on a lot of things that I will check out one-by-one. The car drains the battery in a week's time if I don't drive the car. A battery is always the cheapest starting point for any intermittent problem. I'll test the SCS terminal in the glove...

1991 Automatic 1991 Automatic Lately, my red EPS (electric power steering light, for those of you with manual trannys), has been coming on after I drive a few miles. My power steering then reverts to manual. If I am driving over 60 mph or so when this happens, the "D" green indicator drive...

ofdlt10: The tail with teeth doesn't have a broken piece. I replaced the broken tail (new mast assembly) some time ago and that's when all of this started. Frank

I really would prefer to keep the original power antenna on my '91. I replaced the mast (which came complete with it's plastic tooth tail) with the OEM part about a year ago and about 70% of the time the antenna remains up 3" from the body. When this happens it will not push down. The motor...

Thanks for the heads-up. I purchased one tonight on Amazon.

Sounds great to me. Are you going to NSXPO? Also, were you at the Cars & Coffee in Sandy last Saturday? Frank

Blackhorse: I am having repair work done at Science of Speed Oct 5 and 6th in Chandler and will be leaving Phoenix on Wednesday headed for CA. Would like to caravan with you if possible. Frank ODonnell [email protected] 540-819-5235

If this thread still exists; moved to SLC area in April of 2015. Have seen 2-3 NSXs in the area, but no contacts. Email me and let me know who, where, etc. Frank ODonnell Blk '91 Bountiful, UT [email protected]
