Fixed! Fixed! Probably the water pump.

The noise is not solved, the car have been on jacks the last year :( The emissions is good. From the last Vehicle Inspection all 4 values was good. CO 0.0, CO 2500 revs 0.1, HC 6, Lambda/O2 1.00.

Hi! Almost a year later I managed to disassemble the car to change water pump and timing belt using Gary Kentosh's excellent guide. First question is, from the service manual and Gary's guide the cam gears should point to each other and the flange on the crankshaft is facing up. On my there...

Thank you all by your input. I don't think the sound can be recorded, I only hear it in the cabin. Outside it's to much noise from the exhaust so I cant here the noise at all from the outside. The VTEC theory is without any substance :) I just wanted it to be something around that rev but it is...

Hi. In the end of last season on my way to a track day I got a whining noise at high revs but did not investigate further. After maybe an hour on track the rear O2 sensor whent bad so I drove home carefully at low revs. The oil was at top mark on stick, maybe little over even and oil pressure...

There are no missing rivets, every other is from the other side so it might look like that. It sure looks like the line where the rivets are is the weak link. In an Swedish forum, non NSX specific, I learned that the pressure plate and/or flywheel is convex/concave and since the friction...

Maybe I got lucky that noting more severe happened when the friction plate started to separate. The surfaces on the flywheel and pressure plate is without any damage and actually looks new. The scoring from the CNC-machine that made the flywheel is still there! I wonder what could have happened...

I’ve found the problem (I hope). My 5 month old RDP clutch disc had begun to separate. On ¾:th of the disc the friction material had came apart on the outer half so the clutch probably didn’t disengage and therefore the problem to shift. I’ve bought a new 6-puck disc from SoS that hopefully...

6’6”. Tight fit even with bucket seats.

Why is a baffled oil pan wasted on the NSX? If you are able to get a constant pool of oil for the oil pickup everything is ok? Shouldn’t I achieve this with a pan like the one attached in this message?

My transmission is outside the known scoop with snap ring problems. There have newer been any crunch or grinding. The transmission oil was without any contamination and looked like new. When I try to engage any gear with the engine above ~1800 rpm I cant engage any gear. I haven’t tried to...

Hi! I have a problem with my clutch/gearbox. During my last track event this autumn all of a sudden I couldn’t change gear from second to third. It was no problem to go from 2:nd to neutral but no luck at all to engage third or any other gear. I can change gear when I keep under ~1800 rpm but...

Here is one of my favorites.

DutchBlackNsx: I got my ‘check engine’ light lid up yesterday at the track with code 42 = Rear HO2S Heater. My mechanic says it’s the O2 that’s gone bad and the engine run in with preset values witch is rich and potentially can damage the cats if I drive to long and to hard. When the subject...

J14nsx: I’ve read that EBC Greens is rubbish on anything heavier than an Elise but Red and Yellow should work fine. According to EBC Red and Yellow isn’t for street use because they need some heat before working properly. As I understand your post Red Stuff doesn’t work that well cold and when...

Is there anyone that has tried EBC Yellow Stuff on the street and track? I’m very pleased with my Carbotech Panter+ but it’s time to change and I’ve got a really good opportunity on Yellow Stuff. My concern is how Yellow Stuff work cold and if they can handle the heat on the track.

Excellent write-up as usual with sharp and informational pictures. Thank you, with your DIY’s my first oil change, brake bleed etc. was a lot safer and easier than without.

Grattis! Do you plan to attend Japmeet or any other track event this season? Where are you and the car located?

An update, the famous TV program Top Gear tested the Koeningsegg last week. Video compressed in Divx (works with 5.0.5 found at www.divx.com) http://users.pandora.be/square/hco_topgear.2003.06.22.Koenigsegg.divx503.avi ~45 MB 8.32 min long.

I forced one side of the boot over the piston with my fingers and then rotated around the piston with one finger between the boot and piston. Good luck.

Even though it's a rhetorical question a take the chance to post a few pics of my early work :) PHOEN$X: 10000 km in snow and salt ;)

Larry: If its possible to compose some kind of kit to easy rebuild the callipers complete with seal, boots and maybe some other practical ”stuff” it would be great. In fact it was the first time anyone ordered seal or boot in Scandinavia and delivery was about 3 weeks so they probably came from...

I paid 214 SEK for one boot and 204 SEK for one seal - about 54 US $. The seal was without any damage but should be replaced according to the service manual. For all 4 pistons front 200$ is probably correct.

So far I’ve only tracked my car 4 times but this season I have planed at least 10 events. Do you replace all your seals and boots after 3-4 events!? It’s a big design flaw if that’s needed and an expensive one also and strange that I have not heard of this before on this forum or in the FAQ. I...

It’s always nice to read your kind opinions. During wintertime the car get some stone chips and swirl marks after cleaning but after a professional detailing on the paint and a weekend under the car polishing the underside the car is mint! Sometimes I wonder. During winter I have no problems...
