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.

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 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) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
