Hey all. Hope your having a good weekend.

Just wanted to know where (if) anyone has/can/knows where to get those black rubber plug type things to fill in holes left by removing the rear spoiler???

Wanna see if i like my gtr better without the rear wing, but dont wanna leave open holes there.

Have seen them a lot on Silvia's and 200 Sx's.

Also live near the joondalup area so anywhere local to that would be even better...

If you have bought some, how much do they normally cost???

Cheers, any help would be great.

myaree hardware in myaree corner of pitt street and norma road.

they are called groumets (dunno how its spelt :D)

cost bout 6bux all up :dry: for a sr s13 :) (sr and ca's have diff spoilers..)

guess any hardware store will have it. but they may ask you to buy in packets not individual like myaree.

I got mine from coventrys.. cost me like 6 bucks for 3 packets of different sizes.. but i work there so i get em a bit cheaper. Anyway it works good for now but I'd definately recommend getting it welded up as soon as you can.. water tends to sit under the grommets and im sure that it cant be real good for the sheet metal!

I went and got some grommets from auto one in clarkson today...

Job done...

Im liking the look without the rear wing but need to lower my rear end a bit for it to look better.

Just as a matter of interest, how much would it cost to have the holes welded and the boot resprayed??

Has anyone had it done, where if so???

Cheers again for the responses.

i just got mine done, couldnt tell you where as i got the guy who imported the car to get it donme for me. He got it done for $500, wing removed, holes welded. resprayed boot in 2 pack paint. I assume that MIGHT be a mates rate though, cos before i mentioned it to him i had a quote from the spoiler shop and they said around $800 for the same job. I suggest shopping around.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
