    theyre currently out of stock sorry

    We probly wont have them for a while either. Current exchange rate is not favourable at all. Its probably cheaper to source them locally.

    If its VR6 plugs youre after Bursons usually do them for around $12 - $13 a pop. At least my local one does.

    Plugs

    2,000km ago I purchased Bosch F6-4 ($86) - Platinum Fusions (4 prong)....I am not real sure, they could be leading to my engine pinging at high temps.

    Today I purchased NGK BUR6ET (3 prong) ($60) and will install them tonight and see what happens tomorrow.

    I got both my leads and plugs from GAP when the exchange rate was much better:

    They are NGK BKR5EKU and are US$5.79 each or about AU$9.25 in todays market add in shipping and $12 a plug at the local doesn't sound like too much of an issue.

    Mind you add in a set of leads, a few filters, a magnetic sump plug and some washers and all of a sudden it starts to look like not too bad a deal even with the shipping and crappy exchange rate.

    It's worthwhile if you want to shell out a few bucks and get a pile of stuff, otherwise the local guys do a pretty good job anyway... Dubaddictions crack pipe is looking mighty tasty

    Thanks for the info everyone, actually its a 1.8CL so I need BUR6ET or equivalent. Looks like $60 a set is about what I expect to pay? Or can i I use BKR5EKU in an ADZ ? Sounds like they are cheaper?
