If those $99 Uniden ones are anything like the other Uniden models it will be easy to increase the power output of them to increase the range But your battery life will suffer

Hmmm, the squeeling - does it sound like a bearing squeeling? It could be your thrust bearing on the way out. Not sure. As for the 1-2 crunching, yepp, that's what mine was doing and the oil change made it all sweet. It was getting bad enough for me to forget about 1st gear for the first few take off's (use second), but after the oil change it goes between first and second like a dream now. J

The R32 and R33 front and dumps are pretty close to the same but if you have a look at them they are slightly different. Different enough not to fit. I'd say that they would hit on the floor or something. I just put a dump/front pipe on mine last night. It's a one piece mild steel, mandrel bends etc. The difference is noticable, but I haven't had a good drive yet (just finished it at 1.30am this morning!!). I got a decent price on it, $270 for the dump/front and $30 postage. J

Good stuff. I've got a service due in about 5000km, might take a drive out there and have a chat to him. Thanks

SilverSlyder, I bet it looks real sweet now. It's amazing how 1 inch and stiffer suspension can equate to so much fun

Cool, You should be able to use the normal jack spots that are near the sil, your side skirt should stop a little bit before it so you can get your jack in there without causing damage. Once up, put your axle stands under the chassic rails. Yeah, go back and get a jack from your dealer, other than being stuck somewhere with a flat and no jack, I think you have to carry a jack by law (stupid hay), but if you get a cop that's had a really bad day he could get you for it. J

Wooo Hooo..... As long as it isn't the last weekend in July Shell, I think it's the 27-28th July or somehting. I'm booked up that weekend. Thanks J

G'day Brett, Naaa, there isn't a dip stick for the manual box. It's a sealed unit (except for a small breather I think), so your only option is to drain the oil and put fresh stuff in. You can top it up, but it's best to drain the old. It really is straight forward. The hardest part was jacking up the car, and then pumping that little pump thing about a zillion times to get the 4 litres in her. J

MrLolly, Thats cool.. Cheaper=more money in pocket So the 93's have the plug on the left side... Hmmm, I wonder if there was a ger box change between 93 and 95?? J

ARRRGGGGGGG MY EYES..... MY EYES ARE BURNING...... What a change, just a bit of a shock.. But the red really needs turning down a bit.... Like HEAPS..

My god. Well done Today Tonight for picking the biggest dickhead on the face of the planet. This bloke must have had a frontal lobotomy (spelling??) or something. It's just going to make it harder for us to clear our names. BTW: what's this "red devils club???" Is this a red car club or something

The factory ECU can only retard the ignition by a certain amount. When it starts pinging (RB25det's have 2 knock sensors), the ECU will retard the timing. But if the pinging is really bad, the ECU won't be able to retard it enough to stop it. J

I forgot to mention... When you take the drain plug out it has a magnet on it. Make sure you clean it real good before you put it back in. J

G'day all, Just did a gearbox oil change on my R33 GTS-t and I thought I'd share it with everyone. My box was crunching into second gear for the first 4-5 changes first thing in the morning (it get really cold here), so I thought that the synco's in second were stuffed. As well as that there was a whining coming from the gearbox for the first 2-3 minutes of driving in the morning. I changed the oil and what a difference !!!!!! Cold gear changes are sweet now, and no whine for the first few minutes of driving. I used Castrol VMX80 gearbox oil, the difference is great, smoother gear changes, and when normal (warm) driving the car seems quieter than before, even though I didn't think it was noisey before. To do it is easy. Do the following after a drive so the oil is hot (and will flow out better). Use a trolley jack and jack up the drivers side of the car. Use axle stands under the chassey to make it safe. You'll see the drain plug on the gear box about 1/4 way from the back of the box. A 1/2 inch rachet fit's nicely into it. You'll also see the fill plug on the drivers side and it's the same size as the drain plug. Make sure you loosen the fill plug before you drain the oil. You don't want to find out that you can't get the fill plug out after you've drained all your oil!!!! Drain the oil. Put the drain plug back in and then remove the fill plug. I used a pump to get the oil into the fill plug as it's a tight fit. The gearbox took close to 4lt of oil. Basically you fill the gearbox until oil comes out the fill hole. Make sure you have the car as close to level when you fill it. I know it hard if you have to jack one side of the car up. Put the fill plug back in. Lower the car, and that's it. Easy, and has fixed all my worries. BTW: the VMX80 was about $29, and the little oil pump thing was $12. J

I usually get about 400km to 55 litres. The other week I went to Sydney and back, and drove around for a few days. The needle seemed to sit just above empty for a long time. When I filled up it only took 59 litres and I traveled a bit over 500km. Most of that was highway driving though, so it doesn't really count. J

NDR.... LOL, It took a while for it to come back to me, a loooong while.. If it all works out and is easy to put together, I might make up a handful for anyone on here that wants them. But the first thing I gotta do is build one and see if it works OK.. J

Guys, Jon on SDU found this link for me. http://rely.net/~dustin/shift_light/shift.htm I'm gunna try and build it next week so I'll let you know how it goes. Looks like it should come in at around $30 or so. It's a really small and simple cuircut (just right for my simple mind ), and it's just what I was looking for. Give me a few weeks and I'll give you an update. J

OMG 8O 8O 8O 850+rwkw that is just insane. Good job, he's done so many hours on that GTR, it's good to see it's paying off. J

Me me... Don't forget me... My beast is a Silver 95 R33 GTS-t with a GTR front bar and the poxy standard rims Now that's funny... J

Does anyone know of any simple, build yourself, shift light kits? I don't want a bulky 5 stage thing. I just want to mount a simple dual colour single LED in my A pillar gauge mount. Getting sick of bouncing off the rev limiter.....Do'h..... Thanks J

Anything else decided on this?

Sounds good Shell. Maybe a drive through Goulburn, then find a park/BBQ area to have lunch, a game of cricket or something (depending if the temps are in the minuses), another drive etc, then the desprates, opps, I mean blokes who want to goto the porno factories can follow us back to Canberra. One thing we'll have to watch is the Police at Goulburn, I've heard that they can be a bit 'strong willed' at times. So we may have to be on our best behaviour J P.S. - I'll be able to get that chrome SDU sticker off you then too.

Yeah I know what you mean. I was crapping myself thinking that the wheel would come off and I'd see it overtake me one day :lol: :lol: But after talking to a few people they said it's common. I'll try my best to be there for the cruise. Would be cool to catch up with everyone. J
