Throttle body

Posted by on 4th July , 2012

Latest addition is an S90 SR20 70mm throttle body. I had been waiting for a Hypertune item to be made but gave up after 5 weeks and being told it ‘might be another 3-4 weeks’. Previous to that, I had ordered a ‘bolt on’ S90 RB20/25 70mm item, it went no where near fitting the […]

Coilovers

Posted by on 21st April , 2012

NZM018 went to Pedders a couple of weeks ago to have the coilover height changed. We’d tried at home, but with out a vice weren’t able to move the locking nut with the c spanner. Pedders came back after trying and said the housing will be damaged before the nut will move. The thread isn’t […]

Rear brakes sorted

Posted by on 17th March , 2012

After continuing research into a suitable rear brake combination, my last thought was an N15 SSS caliper. The difference with these over a gti-r (as far as mounting) is just offset. The caliper turned out to be a match for everything, mating to the N13 spindle and correct offset for J30 discs. The handbrake cable […]

Rear brakes

Rear hub conversion is moving forward with J30 rear discs due to arrive this week which also came with free pads. Test fit of the J30 calipers went well with both the stock N13 mounts and handbrake cable being a good fit. The dust shield had to be removed in order for the caliper to […]

Spark plug cover complete

Posted by on 26th January , 2012

Today I completed the spark plug cover which I think come up pretty good.   I got set a set of aerocatch bonnet catches for Christmas which I was going to install today but think I might get a dremel before attempting it. I found a set of S1 Langley indicators today while cleaning; a […]

I’m married

Posted by on 7th December , 2011

And it’s to Jess, not NZM018. Almost a month ago and now how fast it all went by but the day was really enjoyable and went well. With the wedding now done NZM018 can start getting a bit of love. Last weekend received a new windscreen from Windscreens O’Brien at Geebung. Their work was good […]

MLS is back…

Posted by on 16th August , 2011

So I’d started dreaming about NZM018 again. Dreams, for me, are usually a sign something that is really taxing myself mentally. Saturday just gone, I woke up at about 6am and was already mentally prepared and decided that I was removing the head today. Obviously I’d woken up mid dream sequence, because this was certainly […]

Composite VS MLS

Posted by on 27th June , 2011

So almost 2 months since the last post. With the wedding coming up fast, I’ve pretty much now completely stopped spending money on NZM018 until the end of the year. I did splurge last month, $30 on some 2 gauge cable to make a run from the starter motor to the distribution block. This was […]

S2 Rear bar

Posted by on 3rd May , 2011

I finally got a S2 rear bar for NZM018 over the weekend allowing the fitment of the S2 Milano garnish. Shame it’s bright ass yellow but paint isn’t really a big problem and will add to the rainbow styling going on currently. I went to fit the S2 Sunny ZX front splitter I have recently […]
