Just bought a Y65P 2008 S2k with only 2k miles
I am excited as I will get the delivery of my S2k today. I finally bought it. It was not cheap but looking forward to driving it. My first experience of the "S" was when I was 5 or 6 years old (1966?) in Paris. My father was expatriated to Honda France and I really enjoyed riding with him on it. When my father was expatriated to American Honda, it was not the "S" but the "N". My mother drove the N600 around town.
I really wanted to buy the S2k when it came out but had kids and so on. Finally now as my retirement toy, I finally got it. I intend to modify it with 20th-anniversary parts but cannot locate the suspension kit yet. The disappointment is that the floor mat is for only right-handle cars.
I look forward to learning more about how to keep this car up to shape.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can suggest to me what services should I perform once I have it delivered. I never had a car this old with such low mileages. I can imaging that fluids might have aged to the point of exchange but really not sure.
I welcome any suggestion. Thank you in advance.
I am located in southern California.

Enjoy the car. You'll find it worth the wait.
All the fluids are aged out including the brakes and clutch. Just consult the owners manual for the engine, gearbox, and differential -- yep, a specific hypoid gear oil is required in the diff.
The tires were scrap about 2014 as well. I'd not go lower than Max Performance Summer tires. I've run Extreme Performance but my driving doesn't benefit from them and they're noisy, pick up every spec of gravel, and wear quickly -- they corner great though.
Valves on the 2006 and later are too tight and will get burned. Details in the Library (here). Follow Billman's spec.
Service Manual (and the owner's manual) will answer your questions.

Congratulations!
While it has a different badge than the 20th anniversary floor mats, the Honda Access premium floor mats are essentially the same. They're worth looking into to protect the hump section of the carpets as they wear very quickly.
