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

(03) 8405 9200

cheap and awesome.

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

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
