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.

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
