I have recently purchased some NGK G Power Platinum IX BKR6EGP for my Series 2 Stagea and thought I will share the positive experience (not affiliated in any way with the company).

They cost only $10 each (on sale), usually $12 each which is a very good price with nominal shipping charge Australia wide.

The Irridium IX NGK's are $14 each which is a very good price (Supercheap, Repco, Bursons can charge anywhere between $18-$25 each for these).

The website is www.performancelub.com or

They are Melbourne based and even pre-gapped the Platinums to 0.8mm for me at no charge!

Now that's service.

They also advertise on Ebay sometimes.

Also stock a wide variety of good oils as above.

Not affiliated in any way, just posting a good experience for all Stagea lovers.

Yep +1 for Henry's service and pricing

Pickup is also an option if you are local (or willing to drive)

'tis the only place I would buy Redline from as retail outlets have ridiculous prices and generally crap service

don't want to burst your bubble, but the plugs come pre-gapped at 0.8mm (unless they have -11 on the end of the part number which means they are the 1.1mm gap), so they didn't really do a thing.

They only advertise as stocking single quarts of oil I think what's with that?

At a guess, they would get their stock from the USA

I'm planning on buying some Redline from these guys eventually, heard nothing but good stuff about them.

Easier to bring into the country

i see that makes sense, even still at $14 a quart/litre for 10-40 royal purple it would cost $70 to fill the old girl with a little left for top ups, that's an awesome price over here in perth most so called "performance" shops want like $110 bucks at least so you would still be ahead even with paying the postage.

Yes had -11 at the end so factory gap of 1.1mm regapped to 0.8mm.

Agreed: GreenGhost (Myles) uses nothing but Royal Purple, and pays around $115 from a local supplier every time...

Meh... I change my oil every 3000-5000km, or 6 months: whatever comes first. That said, I am stressing the engine very close to its limit in stock form, so I prefer to err on the side of caution...

Haha whoops meant 5000, I don't think the nulon syn is that great so it's 5000 for me, so you

reakon royal purple is good for 20,000?

im still rocking the gulf western sougi s6000

$60-$70 for 5 litres depending on your distributer - some will even bring it to your door for no charge

its the same group as royal purple too (group 5 ester syn), nulon is a group 3 which is modified mineral oil

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.
