Hey guys.

Just in the process of getting some pricing together on a mixture of silicon joiners/elbows and reducers.

Getting prices so far on Turbosmart and Plazmaman. Used turbosmart before and quality is great but price is expensive. Has anyone used plazmaman silicon parts to vouch for their quality? Also is there any other brands people can recommend for me to price up. Must be good quality and price competitive (note competitive. not bargain bin).

Currently only sent an email to one of the business traders on site pending reply. Quick price at autobarn (ouch on certain bits), and plazmamans website.

Cheers for any thoughts and suggestions. (as i'm looking in the vicinity of $300 or more so its worth so its worth looking around)

Luke

Go to any hose place. Purple cop, HIS Hose, Enzed, Pirtek.

They stock all that kinda stuff, colours are red/black/blue.

I can't remember the brand my blue stuff is unfortunately - Racepace sourced it for me :)

I do know AVO also stock some brands. It'll be on their website.

Most retailers for performance cars charge through the ass though i've found - and you're better off going to hose places/truck shops and so on.

I just use the thermal flex stuff, works fine and i didn't think it was that dear if you source it out.

I want to replace all mine with Greddy or HKS silicone :) Just can't make myself blow so much money on something so pointless just cause it has a brand on it. Then again off of Nengun the Greddy silicone delivered isn't that much more than off the shelf price in stores for Turbosmart etc.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
