NZM018

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 looks like it will need some attention most likely by replacement with an N15 SSS item. I’m pleased matching parts have now sorted and I’m far more comfortable with this combination over the gti-r and J30 options as mounting is all bolt on, although any would work with some minor modification.

The rear needs to be raised about an inch to accommodate a 16″ rim, I think this will be next on the agenda. Once complete final fitment of all the new brake components and finally the handbrake cable.

The motor received a few more dress up items with all cam & coil cover bolts being replaced along with new anodised seats.

I’ve also bought NZM018 a new number plate…

Some mixed emotion with it, but a winning plate regardless. Only fitting that it got a suitable domain as well; that being http://www.CA18.org
