I've been working on my newly imported J-Spec NSX and have a couple of questions I hope you can help me out with. We're currently in lockdown in Melbourne Australia due to our friend Covid-19 so I can't even take some nice pics of the exterior since I got it, this is about all I can do sitting in my cramped garage:

I'm soooo looking forward to taking some exterior pics once I get it out, not to mention actually drive it!
Ok, on to some questions!
1) Running an ECU diagnostic I'm getting codes 43/44 (front/rear fuel supply system) and 1/2 (front/rear hot O2 sensors), I'm guessing this is basically saying I need to replace the O2 sensors. My car has some aftermarket manifolds with the O2 sensors running braided lines right up and into the trunk as in the pics below. Is this normal? If I buy some O2 sensors to replace these will I need to make some extra changes to fit them?

2) This lens cleaning liquid vial was in my tool kit. Is this some random item or is it actually NSX related?

3) This relay was in my tool kit as well, what might this be for?

4) I discovered my car has a Type R shift knob and shift mechanism. How does this differ from the standard unit? Is it just a shorter throw?

5) Should this round loose plastic piece be just floating in the clutch reservoir?

6) Any idea what this white powder is from on this line that goes to the fuel filter? There is no fuel leak and never any fuel smell.

7) What are these two disconnected plugs for? This is in the front left corner of the trunk (the opposite side to the CD stacker). The bundled blue wiring looks like it's aftermarket but the brown/orange plug looks factory. Might this be related to my stereo not working? I know these have common problems, here are the symptoms. It turns on but I can get no audio out of it from the radio (I don't have a CD magazine or cassette tape to test), with the car off I get a very faint white noise hiss from the speakers with the radio turned on that doesn't go up or down in intensity if I adjust the volume.

8) What am I losing with the cut wires in the bottom left corner of this photo? Everything seems to work ok (my car has no fog lights) so what might these do?

9) No pic, but how do I remove the chrome handbrake button?
10) My car came with a Momo Zagato Design steering wheel and obviously an NSX boss kit and I also have a Momo Race in excellent condition off another car I can't even remember from years ago (R33 Skyline maybe), are these in demand? I think I'm going to stick with my standard wheel.
