GPX R/C Gaskets, plug leads and seals questions

Hey all,
Finally getting around to repairing/rebuilding my fto (GPX) and have noticed my rocker cover gaskets are leaking. Tried sourcing some from the Bursons we use at work (apprentice mechanic at VW) for trade discount but they don't have any for a mivec engine. Is there a difference between the mivec and non mivec engine rocker cover gaskets? I have also been trying to look into ignition leads and plug seals and it seems to be that mivec engines are taboo amongst the suppliers we use as they don't stock virtually anything related to a 6A12 Mivec engine. Can anyone provide some information in regards to a supplier/place that can provide rc gaskets, leads and plug seals preferably in Vic that isn't going to cost me my entire apprentice wage.
And yes I have searched through the forum but have found nothing specific that can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.

Bursons should be able to get them in??? Maybe it's that store being stupid. But yea Camskill is next best option. Should have all the seals R/C gasket & plug seals. And if you get them from Camskill you might as well get the Magnecor ignition leads too

Best option for original Mitsubishi parts is
http://www.amayama.com or dstocks.
As Camskill has expensive shipping rates.

If you order a lot of stuff from camskill its a lot more worth it.

Yeah. But even then their genuine Mitsubishi parts are still more expensive than amayama.

Yea order up big, so far he would want the gaskets, seals and leads. Then if he wants other stuff from them, and if he knows anyone else wanting stuff they can chip in towards costs, and before you know it you've got everything cheap and the shipping won't mean anything...

GPX gaskets from Mitsubishi are like $60.00 each retail. Plug seals are the same as a 6G74/6G72 Magna available aftermarket everywhere! Leads are available from Magnecor direct and cost about $120 when I bought them. They had them on the shelf too when I got them.
Got a trade account use it!

Looks like Vectose is angling for a rank name change...

Has anyone used that amayama site before?
Can you really buy all those parts, or most of them listed but not really available?

Yes, I've used them a few times. Pretty much everything is available, it isn't a part listing site, you need to know the part number to order it.
You add the parts you want to your cart then submit a quote. They will get back to you in about a day and give you the total price with shipping.
So far every part I've ordered was in stock. I even got Version R stickers.

Which country did your parts end up coming from?

Depends on where you order them from.
When you look up a item it will usually have two or three listings for the different countries.
If you order multiple items from different countries they will send them from each country you ordered from.
But one of my orders was from Australia, two from Japan and one from UAE.

I use them regularly. Just yesterday ordered a replacement side mirror glass for my mates ES300 Lexus. Coming out of the US.

If multiple parts from a single order come from different countries, do you pay the shipping individually?

Yes, they give you a shipping price for each country. But they're shipping prices aren't that expensive.
