Best Place To Buy Black Silicone Joiners In Melbourne


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

As the topic suggests I am trying to find the best place to buy some black silicone joiners to replace my factory rubber. Is there a shop in melbourne that people know of that is a good price and good quality? I hate the monza brand that autobarn have plus they dont have black.

I was hoping to find a physical store instead of an online store if possible, unless someone has a really good online store to recommend?

i know of this place near repco in oakleigh...not sure you already know about them...seen a lot of blue silicon hoses but you can ask them if they have black...give me a bit and ill try to find the name of the place...

VPW

122-128 Cooper St

Epping VIC 3076

Wow those prices are fantastic! Thanks heaps!

$35 for a bend in 3"? ouch.

$150 won't last long lol.

just look on ebay, same shit stuff, just cheaper.

be interesting to hear if the VPW stuff is reasonable quality or not.

2.5 inch last time I checked :P $28.43 for a 90 degree bend

Theres only 2 of them, but yeah it is still going to add up.

Spareco

8 Park Road,

Oakleigh, Victoria,

3166

They have some cheap stuff and good quality ones. They got lucky dip tubs where me and my mate bought less than $5 stuff that worked great. Never complined about the hoses bought from there so will recomend it.

Purple Pig. Can't remember if they're in Ringwood or Bayswater, but around that area. Sell heaps of silicon joiners and been recommended to go there by a few people in the auto trade for stuff like that now.

any truck parts shop would have them

Ok i tried this and they actually have blue and black hose but its not glossy its a matt colour, very stealth in black..Which is cool..And pretty cheap

another thumbs up for the VPW stuff.

been using it for years now and never had a single failure.

have had ebay crap and other brands that has failed on customers cars when they have supplied it. replaced with proflow silicone hose and never had a single issue again.

yep go for truck part shops, they will never break and last a billion kms given the reliablity requirements they have

also should be cheaper and not mega shiny

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
    • Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath 
    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
