When looking at the clutch delete i saw the best route for this mod was to completely delete the whole damper, but this required a hard line going from a 10 mm fitting to a 12 mm fitting. While somewhere is this world that 12 mm male fitting that fits the 3/16/4.8mm line may exist, i couldn't find it. The nsx lines follow the american standard of 3/16" (4.8mm) and 1/4". The lines are steel with a plastic coating both inside and out. So i popped for the NSX-R damper. What started my issue was my OE line going into the slave flex hose froze. While trying to save that hard line i cut off the flex hose fitting and got a bit too close into the flare(ouch)thus needing a repair/or new hard line which is not availble any more. While i first thought this could be repaired by simply cutting back the OE line and putting on a new fitting, my local big time ferrari/lambo restore shop said they could not do it and made me a totally new copper/nickel hose that was a peice of shit. So i purchased a better flare kit than i had from summit racing and set out to simply shorten the OE line and install a new flare/fitting. I had to grind one end of the "clamp dies" to shorten the clamping length and straightening the OE line which as much as possilbe. I was told that was not possible with steel lines, but it was. While i did not have to go there, i did purchase a hard line from NAPA to practice on which was 4.8mm/3/16" material exactly like our OE. Lesson is unlike popular belief an OE hard line can be "unbended" and "rebended". I now have a proper OE R setup. I saved one half pound on this mod which could have possibly been a half pound more or so, but i'm happy to get this done.
