Hi guys, I'll be needing the following bits for my car over the next few weeks, any idea where I can obtain them (preferably new) cheaply? I live in Newcastle 
Transmission oil cooler (Size of an A4 sheet roughly)
4-5m of hose to suit
Walbro in-tank 255lph fuel pump
Malpassi Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator (dual diaphragm?)
Plastic shield bit that goes under MX83 cressida engine bay
The rubber grommet that the throttle cable should hook into in this pic:

Thanks for any advice
Repco wanted $260 for the oil cooler lol, now I know why Repco stands for Rip Every Poor Cunt Off

import bits had the walbro in tank fuel pumps for 170 but i think they might have sold out but worth a try anyhow also horsepower in a box has them for 180-190 buks i think..

oil cooler A4 size,what do you have a rotary. get a big B&M cooler from rocket industries.if you have a big cooler in winter,your oil will take awhile to come up to temp.make sure you pick an oil that will suit for normal driving in winter,otherwise you can get big wear.
hose get from repco etc.
walbro pump, rocket carry them from memory or just get a bosch comp pump which i prefur.
instead of malpassi reg id go an SX or aeromotive. the malpassi's have had a few prob's over the last few years.
plastic bit dont know what you mean.
rubber dust cover you mean?if so bearing place or repco if your lucky,motor bike places might have them.

1JZ Cressida. Just been chatting to Shane (1JZ747) and he told me to get all these bits.
I'll check out rocket industries, what size cooler do you recommened? I don't want to overcool it, but would be good to have it at a safe temperature in summer.
Just bidded on that Walbro fuel pump and won it @ $129 - thanks for the link! It is a GS341, better fit lol
Plastic bit covers the bottom of the engine bay, shields it from rocks, mud, water etc. Toyota genuine is $90 or so.
Who sells/distributes SX or Aeromotive rising rate FPRs? Needs to be a dual diaphragm design. I also saw a few different varieties, like 1:1, and 1:1.7 etc, which sort do I need? I'm just running the stock computer.

Couldn't you have some sort of solenoid or something and an extra line which, when activated, bypasses the oil cooler for winter driving?
That way, you could effectively allow or deny access to the oil cooler at a whim...
Complicated, perhaps... but then you'd recieve the cooling you wish to have, and be able to not worry about temps in winter when oil temps wouldn't be as much as a problem as in summer

The RX7 oil cooler I have ($15 on ebay!) is very large and has a built in thermostat so only used when oil is hot.

Serious? That sounds ideal! I didn't know such coolers existed! Do you have a link and pics? What sort of condition is it in?
I have a mate of a mate opening a parts shop in newcastle soon and I was going to buy one of his HKS copies depending on price and suitability.
Just need to sort out FPRs now, what FPR do you 1JZ TT boys use with your Walbro fuel pumps?
