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.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
