Where Is The Cheapest Place In Adelaide I Can Buy Splitfires?


Recommended Posts

got mine off the net and found they were pretty much the best price you could get at the time anyway, just depends on how long you wanna wait for 'em.

got mine for pretty cheap from sinergy,,, my least favorite place but they used to sell them cheaper then most in town,,, try HP in a Box , they might ? in Lonsdale now ?

No where is cheap in Adelaide, not many places even have stock. If you order from an online shop based in Australia that has stock you should have them in a couple of days anyway. If you need to pick them up right now you'll be paying a premium.

If they are for a R33 S2 there are some yellow jacket coil packs for sale in the for sale section.

wow ppl still buy stuff from car toys....

Haha I was just thinking the same...

I remember at Autosalon a few years back, some dude from car toys tried selling me a BOV keyring. He showed me that when you blow into it, it sounded exactly like a bov. Well, it didn't. It sounded like someone blowing into a piece of metal.

And he wanted $40 for it.

Get. f**ked.

keep your eye on the main for sale section....you can nab a bargain from some of the sellers.....also give the forum traders a PM and see what they can do for ya.....or habib-ebay.....online traders most of the time have them in stock and are decent in price

good luck mate

    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
    • Thanks for the reply mate. Well I really hope its a hose then not engine out job
