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

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
