I've sold a set in Switzerland and the buyer didn't install them yet but I'm not sure if that is of any help for you. How long do you have to wait for them?

Thanks to Kaz, I got the hoses much quicker than in the UK and sorted the problem a few weeks ago.
As NSX work is quite for at the moment, I have started some more work on my own car.
I replaced the crank pulley and new belts so thats some piece of mind for now. [didnt have the camera on me to take pics], but nothing overly complicated with the right equipment. Hardest part I guess is removing the bolt and many have broken sockets and bars trying to get this off lol
I decided to replace transmission oil again and also I wanted to check condition of the filter.
So as always remove the fill bolt first, once thats off remove the drain bolt and let gravity do its job, I had plenty of time so I let it drain and drip out for over an hour.
With both fill bolt and drain bolt removed I decided to give them a clean down
After clean down and new seals
This is the cover where the filter is, it can be a little tricky to remove and usually gets damaged when removing so best to replace with new cover and seal.

I managed to remove this one without it breaking, but wouldnt re-use it anyway. I also decided to replace the rest with new items, not necessary as the filter, spring and bolt can be re-used, but for all the cost involved I just went with all new bits. So I inspected the filter for any signs of metal chards and can report all was good!
old items
new items
So re-installed the new filter, spring cap and bolt!

All thats left is to fill the box with MTF 3, so as always put the drain plug and new seal back on.
With some pipe and funnel running to the fill plug start pouring!
I can pretty much judge this correctly so know when to stop pouring, so with car on the level, the MTF fluid comes up to the level of the drain plug, and thats it! Job done, fit the filler plug and new seal, torque to spec and take for a test drive.
Next I'll be working on the drive shafts.
While doing some checks on my on car and trying to being cautious, I still managed to catch my arm on the exhaust, for only a few second and achieve a nasty burn
