My AC system was leaking on my 91 at the evaporator connections (9 and 10 in the labeled diagram below), so while I had the system evacuated I decided to preventatively replace the compressor (Kaz has a great post on which one to use - I used the Denso 471-1194 and moved the old coil \ clutch...

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll get some AC flush on order

Thanks for the responses everyone. To clarify, I am replacing the original r12 compressor with one of the newer r134a denso compressors because I had to evacuate the system fix a leaking o-ring. The compressor has been a little noisy since I bought the car and it was cheap enough to replace...

Not to hijack this thread, but I’ve got a similar question. I’m replacing the old r12 compressor with a new Denso unit, and the FSM says to remove oil from the new compressor: 80ml - (ml removed from old compressor). Almost no oil came out of the old compressor - like one drop. That would...

Hey John, hope the beach is treating you well! Looks like you can go to settings in the top right, then click on attachments on the left side under "Miscellaneous". Click the checkbox next to the images you'd like to delete, then scroll down to the bottom and click the delete button in the...

Kaz, Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the excellent information, as always. You saved me the trouble of ordering the wrong part, I was about to order that four seasons part. The pressure plate looks ok - no blue (hot) spots like you were mentioning, and the bearing feels good...

I'm replacing the AC compressor in my 91 and most of the threads say to just swap the old coil \ pulley \ pressure plate over to the new compressor. My clutch looks pretty beat up, but I don't have a good reference for what a bad AC clutch looks like. Is this worn out? The friction surface looks...

I've only smelled overheating clutches, and to me they smelled the same as overheating brakes. This smells like someone took an angle grinder to some steel which is why I was concerned It's not terribly steep, and I'm slipping the clutch for maybe 5 seconds at low (~1500 RPM) speed. I do the...

This is for my NSX, and I'll have to go back through the service records. I would imagine it's an OEM clutch though. The clutch doesn't slip, so it being worn out wouldn't make a lot of sense.

I've recently noticed a metallic grinding smell when I back my car out of my driveway, it smells just like using an angle grinder on steel. This would seem to indicate that there is some metal-on-metal grinding, presumably in the clutch since it's only present when I back it out of my driveway...

Great work! This is a huge service to the NSX community, your documentation is certainly appreciated. Since you mentioned a legend gauge cluster... here is the project I worked on in the past. I can't believe it was 6 years ago! I've learned a LOT since then, so don't judge me too hard - I...

Fantastic work! Having done a few similar projects, I know how much time and attention to detail this takes. It's also super helpful to the (many) other owners that will need to do this in the future. I've been meaning to replace the caps in mine for a while. While I'd be happy to do the...

Excellent write-up! This is the next project I need to tackle after the radio and SRS unit (which I wasn't able to fix, unfortunately). Thanks for making a great contribution to the community!

Check the SRS fuse first to make sure it's intact, I believe it's in the driver's foot well. Like all of the other electronics in old cars, the capacitors in the SRS unit tend to leak and eat the circuit board. If that's the case it'll keep blowing the SRS fuse. Just an observation on a common...

This is awesome! Replacing the GC caps has been on my todo list for a while, this tool would make it significantly easier. I may modify the hardware to just take a signal generator input since I've got access to one. It's a less clean solution, but for doing one cluster it simplifies things...
