Just had a quick google search. Here is it if your interested

Thanks heaps.......looks good...will factor in postage and painting etc and see if a DIY / fabrication option is more feasible.

Update:

Bought a stock boot lid off Jarrad ( :thanks: ).

Project GT wing has begun !! WOOOHOOO!!

Also....earlier this evening Aaron from Westy's Warehouse went out of his way to fit and balance my new tyres and finish everything today itself - absolutely sensational service and top bloke.

..and....I will not need that spoiler on there...so if anyone wants it....it is for sale..chuck me an offer.

Very very productive day so far.

Woke up bright and early with the sun streaming in. Just knew it was going to be a warm one. Polished up my new Ganadors and proceeded to install them (you know your obsessed when you start car stuff before brushing your teeth!!)

First step: remove door trims...

Passenger side: Three screws down at the bottom of the door panel. One screw inside the little plastic pocket thing and one screw underneath the passenger side handle / arm rest.

Drivers side: Three screws down at the bottom of the door panel. One screw under the switch plastic panel.

Both sides door release plastic surrounds need to be pried off.

Then remove plastic triangle to reveal three bolts holding mirror in place. Remove and unplug mirror. Plug Ganadors in, secure wire and put it all back together. Did not get a picture of the mirrors...but will post some when I do the photoshoot (sometime soon)

Then started fabrication work / planning for the GT wing project.

Tried...but got more love from pete who gave me some suspension tips..the tall dude whos name i cant remember who chatted for ages about his big block chevy and new zealand and the most from rob the alignment guy who everyone seems afraid of...lachlan was probably having an off day...lol....overall a good experience

New rims set it off nicely. Cant wait to see the boot DIY you got going on

I LOVE THEM TO BITS...... :wub:

Just needs a fraction more aggressiveness on the rears...which I will achieve as soon as I get the guards rolled.

Yeah the wing is a radical idea to say the least....I am hoping it pays off !!

Keeping with the stealth look under the hood I swapped pod filters this afternoon.......

Engine bay still needs major sprucing up and is only quarter way done...with the rocker covers next on the list for a nice black refresh !!

Getting some Whiteline swaybars next......24mm and 22mm front and rear respectively...adjustable. Thoughts / suggestions / anything I need to know??

Reliable sources tell me they are possibly the best bang for buck upgrade suspension wise.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
