CL master cyl is leaking and the CL hose looked to be seeping the fluid as well.
To be replaced while the engine is out.


I was told that the CL slave cyl was replaced in the past so I'll re-use it.






The 3rd LED brake light was missing lots of segments. Hope the owner does a DIY or finds the used one as the new module is so expensive and it's not cost effective for me to try repairing it considering the time required.






Another failure caused by the moisture inside the boot.
The rear fog light didn't work so checked the bulb/socket and found this.
Heavy corrosion/rust preventing good contact between the two.

I will try to clean them later.


The 2 x licence place bulbs also didn't work so I'll check whether it is simply a bulb failure or wiring issue.






Because of these moisture issues, checked the famous 20pin connector at the left forward section of the boot behind the carpet.
For some reason, Honda used non-WPC connector so some of the female terminals could get corroded resulting in partial damage and it could trigger all sorts of issues such as ABS/TCS warning light for RR w/speed sensor even when the sensor was fine, 'BRAKE LIGHT' warning light on the dash, imbalance between R&L tail light brightness, etc.


Checked all terminals using the mating 090 male/female terminals and happy with the feeling so applied dielectric grease.





The fuel filter bracket is not installed properly.
While the engine is out, hope I can fix it.

The wire holder was chopped off and tyrap was used instead. There were several holders being cut off and replaced with tyrap inside the engine bay on this NSX.....







Going to have fun dealing with these almost dead bolts and nuts. For the exhaust section, hope I can just break them off loose as I don't want to spend too much time on them.
I have new bolts and nuts purchased long time ago.
