They actually aren't that easy to find at normal autospares shops, but you can get them from most Toyota dealers. Probably won't be cheap from them though, so it might help to do a bit of looking around and see who stocks them in Adelaide. If you were in Sydney, I'd be able to help you out more. :)

just get the iridium plugs. NKG have a cross reference to all their plugs, so you'll be able to get them from any repco store.

They are around 17 bucks each.

Was that dyno test comparing NGK Iridiums against brand new stock ones, or against stock ones with X kilometres on the clock?

And were the originals platinum rear, non-platinum front, or platinum all round (like many garages put in these days)?

Cheers.
