Ty Mack Daddy. Go to X-Speed. They are Perth's HKS stockists. There are many other workshops that will stock them such as Vision-R from what I know of these days.
You will encounter one problem. They most probably won't have 1JZ kits as you need a plate, that can be easily made and an adapter of some sort if you plan to use the original location as it uses a short rubber hose and clamps. If you plan to have it welded to your intercooler (IF you have steel piping) then any off the shelf one will do.
Call X-Speed first, they always had them in their display cabinets. If it comes to it, use nengun.com or some other internet parts service thingy.

Ty I would be careful buying a HKS SSQV as the sound from them can travel, especially at night time. Most people find them more annoying than the regular 'pssshhh' type.
OT: I have seen them on ebay before. I have also seen the copy ones on ebay for a lot cheaper.

James, if i can get one that makes the same noise ill buy it haha! i like the sounds, not the brand
Mark, i did look on ebay but thats the problem i dunno whats genuine and whats not, i would had to buy a fake one at a genuine price you know haha
Chris: yeah i thought about going there after i got back up north here haha!!, yeah if there is no bolt ons ill probably have one welded to my intercooler pipe..
