Hey all.

I have removed the rear spoiler on my car and wanted to share the pics with you..

For those who are thinking of doing the same thing, I will say this...

It's not THAT easy..

once you remove it, you get one whole at each end, and 2 small ones and a big one in the middle..

I welded them up from underneath and boged the top and sanded and sanded till the cows came home..

then went over it with a high fill puddy spray, then sanded.

Then undercoat, then sanded, then sprayed in silver a few layers, then clear.

A week later, I had it buffed, then I went home and polished it some more..

Not easy but check out the results...

You'd never be able to tell that there was ever a spoiler there..

On a side note, I have a perfectly good R32 GTST rear spoiler with brake light for sale for anyone interested..

some pics below..

I acutally did all the prep work.

My mechanic did the coats of paint..

I took a week off work and spent my whole time at the mechanic getting things done and the boot was one of them.

My arms were killing me all week from all the sanding..

But it's worth it in the end.., there is no trace of a spoiler ever being on there..

    • 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 has not responded to my emails so far since 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) 😋
