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.

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

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
