    HA! I'm with you Don... gets a little tougher to get in or out each time, but the car is not going anywhere. And I think prices are still VERY strong for private sales. Did anyone make to last weekend's C&C at Westport, and if so did you get there in time to park on the Big Boy lot? Ha! I had...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Just drove it again and it's what I expected, back to square one before I exercised the solenoids the first time. No ABS light, pump runs for 5-6 seconds first time out. I hit the brakes 5 times on loose surfaces and the ABS seems to be working - pulsating in the pedal and not locking up, then...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    If I can nail it down to the accumulator, I'm willing to pop for that if it will really fix it. $88 to recharge, or I found a good used part (cost unknown yet), or they're still available new @ $500 +/- which included the pressure switch I think. Thanks for starting this thread Jinks and I...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    OK, returned. I haven't run the codes yet but here's where I am. 1. I pulled the ABS 2,3 fuse (#32 in the fuse block) while I worked on the rest, to clear the codes. I figured if I threw a code again I'd check it then. 2. I double-checked the solenoid connectors and everything was in order...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Thanks Kaz. Right, tried the clock fuse and no change, ABS light still on. The TCS light was just temporary with the two 20A fuses pulled, and is out now. I've had the pump relay and the two fuses out, with the car running, with it not running, in every possible combination, and the ABS light is...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Tried that Jinks, didn't do it. Pulled the two 20A fuses too, ABS light still on plus the TCS. I guess once it throws a code it's on.

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Wellllll... get this. Just drove it for the first time since exercising the solenoids, and now the ABS light IS on, I do not hear the pump running, and the ABS is NOT working. All I did was to hook up the harness and exercise the solenoids, ran the pump a bit (never more than 15 seconds), pulled...

    I have new problems now - the ABS light is on, pump is not running and the ABS is not working. Let me sort this out before we proceed Rahul (which may be a while as I have limited time at the moment). There's more info in this thread...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Thanks very much Kaz! I will check for continuity art the pressure switch before I proceed. I have been trying to buy a T-bleeder for months but they are NLA anywhere. I missed out on two listed here on Prime, and two that were on eBay, all sold before I even saw the ads. So maybe my...

    Need some guidance on suspension set ups

    I think the later shocks are actually damped a little firmer than earlier cars; spring rates are a bit firmer too. None of that is a bad thing but as I said, the '04 shocks I installed on my '92 are making the ride height unacceptably high (hence the Swift springs I have waiting to install). I...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    OK, looks like the next step is to check the accumulator. Best price on a new one is +/- $500. I'm leery of used for a part like this but I'll see what's out there. There is a guy recharging Audi and Saab accumulators and he now lists NSX too. But that's just a nitrogen recharge, not a...

    Plug n Play Harness for Solenoid Energizing/Exercising on 1st GEN ABS Modulator

    Thanks Joe. I have the manual and have been searching for the T-bleeder. All signs seem to be leading to the accumulator so I'll follow-up on that next. Thanks!

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    Thinking about that... also thought about the delete kit but that's more drastic and I hate going too far away from OEM. But there's always the chance you'll wish you had ABS some day. Mulling it all over. I'm guessing mine is just how they work.

    Rahul, you may want to hold up, might not be any problems with your ABS. See my post at the end if this thread: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/195196-How-to-bleed-the-91-abs-system-without-the-T-wrench#post1894695 It appears my system is working normally, waiting for some...

    How to bleed the 91 abs system without the T wrench

    I got one of Joe's solenoid harnesses and the pump switch. I hooked everything up per Joe's video. If I go through the process in the video, I get very little happening in the ABS brake fluid reservoir. When I pressurize the system, the fluid level drops very slightly (only about 1/16"), then...

    Plug n Play Harness for Solenoid Energizing/Exercising on 1st GEN ABS Modulator

    OK... I got the harnesses and have them hooked up correctly. If I go through the process in the video above, I get nothing happening in the ABS brake fluid reservoir. All I get is the individual solenoids clicking on and off, no fluid coming into the reservoir like in the video. I tried this...

    Well, good luck Rahul, I've been searching for one since February :-> NLA from Honda and apparently all inventory is exhausted. There have been several brand new ones pop up online, but they seem to sell instantly. Hope you can find one! - - - Updated - - - The part number is 07HAA-SG00101...

    Sure thing, Rahul. There's a video on how to exercise the solenoids so I'll link that to you. Bleeding the brake system is just like any other car, but the ABS is a totally separate hydraulic system and is bled separately. The problem is it's super high pressure and there's a special "T-bleeder"...

    Need some guidance on suspension set ups

    I generally agree, but the difference with Swift is they claim to limit the amount of lowering to stay within the range of the OEM shock travel. Front is lowered .8", rears .6", which is a lot less than the typical 1.5" amount. They're also quite a bit stiffer at the compressed end of their...

    Need some guidance on suspension set ups

    I think your thoughts are right on for your driving needs. I've modified the suspension on most of my cars over the years and, generally, the "track" set-up is too much for even aggressive everyday driving. Usually somewhere in the range of 20% - 30% stiffer on springs (or torsion bars on...

    Need some guidance on suspension set ups

    Yes, see my post above. I just installed a set of '04 OEM suspension units but the ride height is really high. Going with the Swifts: Front .08" lower, 146 to 218 pound/in progressive rate, averages to 11.2% stiffer than the '04 OEM springs by my calculations. Rear .06" lower, 157...

    I just got a set of Swifts for OEM shock replacements and Evasive Motorsports had the best price by far.

    Guys, I got one of those switch/harnesses for exercising the anti-lock brake solenoids and flushing the system, and running the pump independently. After I run through my system it would be available to borrow locally, if anyone is having ABS problems. I'm still looking for the ABS bleeder tool...

    NSX-Specific Driving Shoes?

    I was waiting for someone to mention Pilotis... they're the best IMO. I love mine, can wear them all day, and the red/black matches the NSX :->

    Need some guidance on suspension set ups

    I just did this on my '92, using '04 units with <12K miles on them. I'm very surprised that the car actually sits HIGHER. Makes no sense, but it's at least 1/2" higher than it was on the worn-out (136K miles) original units. Maybe even 3/4". It rides and handles a ton better, but the stance is...
