The cheapest guy is Lee's Spare Parts at http://www.performanceparts.com.au/store.html . He does mail order throughout Australia and sells name brand parts. Most the above stuff is Goss and ACL.

Im doing the same sort of reaserch for an RB30 at the moment, the price differences are huge! Shopping round really pays off.
