If anyone has any ideas which could be of help in this build would be greatly appreciated

Welcome!

We here in the US didn't get anything RWD with the Series 1 (Your Series 2), and only the Camaro/Firebirds from mid 1995-up got the Series 2 (your Ecotech), so we won't be able to help you out too much except with *some* parts interchangeability (like the aluminum valve covers from the Camaro/Firebird V6s will replace any of your Series 2 covers if they are the fiberglass covers)...but we're always happy to see pics from you guys! (Especially the women )

Edit: What part of Austrailia? I had a female pen pal who lived in Adelaide....

Welcome to the club! Pictures should be interesting.

Welcome! Since it sounds like you'll be tuning anyway, the 94-95 M62 is an upgrade (epoxy coated rotors for for cooler boosting) of the 92-93 generation, and matches a larger throttle body. Does your TB go straight out the back or does it turn?

g'day, that combo in a gemini would be serious.

I used to like the Country Dealer Team Geminis back in the day, just couldn't afford one.

Welcome!!
