Hi Loz,
How you going? My name is Nikko and I purchased a 98 GTO TT last year.
Good to finally find somebody else in Oz with a GTO to talk to that may have had more luck than myself trying to find anyone who will just work on my car let alone finding somewhere local to get parts. Darwin Mitsubishi arent even very keen to work on it, because they apparantlly dont even have the softwhere to tune it as it is a Full Jap import and it also has a GReedy ECU piggy backed onto the computor, which is doing more bad than good I think. as I honestlly dont believe it is performing anywhere near as good as it should be. I noticed you wrote that you have been getting gear from NZ and the States. I have been looking on a US Site called CIANCI Performance for a Bonnet, Gaurds and new Front Spoiler, and was wondering if you have heard of them and also a mob in NZ called Link Engine Managment who sell the G4 Storm ECU.
