Don't know how old this brake master cyl is so very important not to floor the pedal when changing the fluid.
This is the reason why I prefer pressure bleeding.

As my standard procedure when re-using the old brake pad/disc, going to set the fluid level here and not the max line.















For the final test driving session, I'll keep the TCS controller connected.

As I can't duplicate the same driving condition as the owner (he is forced to open TH fairly wide to drive fast almost
immediately after leaving his place), I may not be able to test enough all the scenarios.

I'm fairly confident that the issue the owner reported (originally being told as misfire but when I test driven, it was a huge sharp fuel cut triggered by TCS
- although no green TCS activation indicator - was caused by the FR w/speed sensor issue.
During the initial investigation before start removing the parts, it triggered ABS light almost immediately on leaving my place and
within a few seconds, big fuel cut and TCS light triggered.

After confirming the cause of the issue, replaced the FR sensor and this should fix the issue.

If you prefer, I can disconnect these 3 x connectors from the TCS controller.
It's located behind the left side seat (passenger side for RHD).

Please note that unless you can explain the reason and what has been done in detail, disabling the TCS without removing several parts
(you must completely disable/remove the functionality to meet MOT requirement) may be considered as MOT failure.













I'm going to return the 6 x Bosch spark plug that has dimple at the top terminal.
It could damage the needle terminal inside the IG coil although probably fine with the later spec 3pin style IG coil.

No speaker box at the passenger footwell and this metal plate was sitting in the boot so I'll do the same.
Please re-install it when you have replacement speaker box.





















As seen on many NSX, the ABS solenoid connectors held at the bracket just didn't want to move.
Tried several methods but not even a single wiggle so decided to remove the bracket bolt.

It was heavily corroded and oxidised so was not easy but finally, managed to access the terminals.

I already knew this NSX has multiple leaky solenoids as the fluid level changed dramatically while parked at my place.


Had to flush extra 3 times but if not driven regularly and solenoids exercised, the same thing will happen again.

Will adjust the fluid level after the test driving session as I will be activating it multiple times before the tyre warms up.




Just need to put some interior panels back in place and ready for the test driving session.
Already have another NSX at my place waiting for the emergency service......
