I put a deposit down for my NSX at a car show in 1990 and took possession in February 1991. At 70 years old, I am still enjoying the ride 27+ years later. I had the car out on the track last year which was a blast as usual although driving aggressively through tight winding canyon roads is...
Tips:
Remove the air box in order to provide much better access from above although much of the work was done from below. This is especially worthwhile in terms of accessing the bracket with the dreaded clip holding the clutch hose in place. It was pretty difficult getting the clip out and a...
Thanks for detailed instructions.
If replacing the slave cylinder as well as the hose, is there a preferred sequence in terms of unattaching the hose and replacing the slave? For example to minimize any brake fluid leakage, is it easier to take off and reattach the new hose first at the damper...
Thanks for all the help.
Unfortunately , I have not found anyone in the Vancouver area so far who has the expensive setup to extract the R12. Many are currently only dealing with R134a
Just not using it would be an option except for the impact on the effectiveness of the defrost/defog function...

Is the Denso 4711194 the model you installed? Not sure that I understand what you mean by "take over the base to the hose fitting from the old one".
Did you consider the GPD 6511599 or the 4 season 68366 compressors as well?
Thanks
I did not realize that the Denso A/C compressor was not for retrofit and set up for R12. It is the only A/C compressor that Denso lists in its catalogue (albeit from 2014) for the 1991 NSX. https://www.carid.com/images/denso/air-conditioning-heating/denso-ac-compressor-components-catalog.pdf...
Thanks a lot for the info....much appreciated.
A thread from years past included a recommendation by Larry B. to use ester oil as the best option to flush the system. Do you know if that is the oil included in the retrofit kit?
I was planning to purchase the Denso 471-1424 which indicates in...
Out of the blue, my AC compressor started making a significant racket which I originally thought was an engine problem but thankfully was not. Up until that point, I believe the AC was functioning normally with R-12. Not absolutely sure as I seldom use the AC here in Vancouver Canada. The AC...

My compressor recently packed it in on my 91 NSX. I was planning on purchasing the Denso 4711424 compressor and the OEM ac converter kit 38020-SM4-A1AH. If done in BC, one is required to convert from R12 to...
He was really only authorized to diagnose the problem. I think the issue is why he needed 6 hours to do so especially with his extensive NSX experience. All the parts for the timing belt/water pump service were not necessarily in stock. In addition, I was balking at the quoted 16 hours for...
