I get industrial stuff off them, when it's someone elses money I don't mind spending it... When it's mine I'm a little more careful
I ended up going through a local performance shop. He price matched for me to what the current US price would be but I didn't have to pay postage obviously or Summits retarded $25US "Handling Fee" which is total BS. He also exhanged or refunded fittings that I didn't end up using even after I had test fitted some of them. I can provide contact details if anyone is interested, or give you an indication of what pricing was. (this was when the dollar was around 65c) Ben
No problem, Steve's Speed Shop/Revolution Racegear. Ph. 02 4257 7333 Shop is located at Albion Park Rail, NSW. I would assume he will post no problems but i'm only a few klms away so I can help out there if needed. His name is Steve obviously. He was independant, but is now also a revolution stockist. Here's an idea of what I paid: -6 Straight hose end - $12 -6 45 degree hose end - $28.25 -6 90 degree hose end - $28.25 -6 180 degree hose end - $35.95 -6 Light weight Nomex/Kevlar braided hose - $37.35/metre -6 hose end cover with worm clamp - $8.25 -6 male to 1/4 npt male - $6.45 -6 120 degree hose end - $35.95 -8 pushlock straight hose end - $11 -8 male to -6 0-ring port adaper - $10.20 Some prices are a few dollars more than US ones but after I added up postage and the extra $25US charge I think I still came out ahead.
I couldn't tell you without going through all my receipts, and it probably wouldn't help you very much as I have modified my fuel rails to twin feed/return and have an aftermarket 4 port filter and turbosmart regulator so I would have used about 4 times as many fittings as just doing a relatively stock system. I've also done the PCV re-location so theres a few more bits on the list. A rough guess would be $400 - 500 so far. It's hard to say cos i've been buying dribs and drabs as I go along and working out what I needed. Another benefit of buying local I guess.
