Inspection

My RZ returned from one week absence for 24 month inspection at TES. It cost about 190 thousand yen including insurance, tax, labor and parts cost.

Oil change

Changed engine oil @TES last weekend after the 7 months interval.
Cost JPY12,600 (@1,900x5.5l+1,000) with ERG synthetic oil.

Power window unit replacement

Replaced the power window unit on passenger side. Old part on the left, new one on the right.

Front Tire Replacement

Replaced front tires to Pirelli P Zero Nero.
It cost 33,000 yen including nitro filling, labor charge and disposal of old tires (shown in the picture above).
I'm not satisfied with the fact that the P zero system is no longer available in Japan.



The picture below shows the work in progress in Meguro branch of Yatoh Tire shop.

Oil leak trouble

My mechanic found the cause of oil leak was the faulty high pressure hose. The genuine part was no more available, so that he made the one by making use of universal type from Earl's.

He also replaced the faulty switch of oil pressure meter, which haven't worked almost for 6 months. The part (shown in the picture above) was the one I bought from AFRA.

Oil leak

I found an oil spill on the garage floor.

Can't tell if it came from Power steering system or not. But since I found fluid level reached less than minimum, I poured 1/4 litres of power steering fluid just bought at Autobacks Daikanyama, which claimed its function of stopping leakage. Let's see how it works.

There is another concern about an odd sound I hear when travelling at low speed. I have no idea from where it comes.
