Lots of condensation inside the tail light assy.
In fact, there was a tiny crack at the right side assy so water can enter from here as well as from the bonding section of lens cutout.

Unless you are doing DIY, it’s cheaper to replace them than asking someone to open it up, cook in the oven to dry it and then re-sealing them.

Tried to order the UK spec entire tail light assy including wiring or even just the housing and lense from Japan.
Unfortunately, Honda Japan can’t release them within Japan so has to be ordered outside Japan.

For now, we’ll leave the tail light and just replace the centre piece.






Having said this, there were lots of water markings inside the boot just behind the tail light.
It seems this NSX had full body re-spray and possibly the gaskets were never replaced and just re-used.

Unless the gaskets were installed recently before removing the tail light, these have to be replaced everytime when the tail light assy was removed.
Otherwise, 100% guaranteed to leak water inside the boot resulting in condensation inside the unit.
There is a drainage channel at the panel where the tail light assy is mounted so these gaskets are very important in preventing the flood inside the boot.




ABS reservoir was almost empty. The fluid level was way below the MIN line.
Another fun time flushing the classic ABS.






The wiper rubber was completely gone at the driver side. Just the base mounting piece.

Passenger side was already teared off and about to end up in the same state as the driver side.

Fortunately, I stock the suitable replacement wiper rubber in correct length for this JDM style wiper blade so will replace them later.
Until then, no washer testing.






There rear spoiler fixing nuts were cross threaded and missing the washer…..
In fact, it looked as if someone placed the washer in the wrong place.
I'm not going to touch them as it may crack the paint if I try to reinstall the spoiler.
Better to be dealt with by the place carried out the re-spray.
