I need to check about this with the owner.

Under the square side sill garnish near the fuel lid opener, there was a fuse block with one cable disconnected. Unfortunately, I already disconnected the battery so not sure whether it was getting any power or not but the other side of the disconnected cable was not connected to anything yet the fuse terminal was exposed with nothing connected.....

I'll remove the fuse to prevent any short circuits as you never know what will happen if short circuit created while driving.....





Not sure about this parking brake adjuster position. Seems too excessive.
I hope the parking brake cable link is not seized at the caliper side.


As same as the front side, this brake hose/line is too short and twisted for the later spec larger rear disc/caliper.




Problem with the caliper installation.

The slider pin boot is not inserted into the bracket at all allowing moisture to enter the slider pin area.
I have spare oreange grease Niglube RM so the owner can do DIY to properly install it. In fact, all four corners were not installed properly and possibly one of the reason why I felt poor initial bite when applying the brake.




Also, noticed significant amount of pad materials at the front disc. Not dragging but the same on both FR & FL sides.
I don't remember seeing such amount when using the OEM pads.
May be the disc was used with different type of pads before the installation of OEM pads???




Bit surprised to see the parking brake siezed in the L shaped bracket as the calipers were overhauled recently. However, I can see the coating under the L shaped bracket so looks like the owner separated the parking brake cable like this before sending the caliper for the polymer coating.




As seen on many NSX, the bleeder plug at the heater core coolant pipe was kinked. Typical when the bleeder plug was already seized and someone applying too much force.
I wonder how the air was bled last time when the coolant was replaced if the bleeder was already seized..... As it's cheap parts and I already have it in stock, will replace it with a new one.
