Hi Mate, heads, cam, bolt-ons, tune. If you can, get your parts from the US. The $ is good at the moment.
I have no idea of any good tuners down there....Good luck

Hey, not all of NZ is snowing lol. We are getting 25c+ in Auckland & have been for weeks.

Not a problem getting stuff here....From the US usually 4 days.
If our Dollar is high against the US$ we can usually get a decent deal compared to the NZ prices
