dick smith, tandy ect, the 40chan ones are fine, most have a range thats suitable for cruising,

slip just has to wait at the regrouping points longer ;)

Ok so you guys will be on UHF.. What channel?

As with those cheap H/H's you can always use an external antenna to increase your range somewhat.

Buy an RFI 6dB antenna, that pretty much doubles your range!

Just thought of something else.. have a look around for either a commercial H/H or mobile radio as these more commonly have 100ch plus so you can not only have UHF CB but you can also have the police and other emergency services to listen to.

The most popuplar commerial radio's to go for are:

Mobile: Philips FM900 - 91 or 92 series 100ch (200ch switchable eprom(remote or local unit))

Philips / Simoco PRM 8030 200ch (remote or local unit)

Philips / Simoco PRM 8040 200ch (remote unit)

Tait 2020 100ch (remote or local unit)

All the above have 25w RF output as compared to 5w RF output for a standard UHF CB.

Hand Held (H/H)

Philips / Simoco PRP80 100ch

Philips / Simoco PRP85 100ch

Tait Orca 100ch

OK... A night time one that i can attend....

YEAH... OK... What part of roma st do you guys meet...

Do you go to the transit centre and then go around the back of it and park out by the back platforms... You know the part where you have to go through the little tunnel???? If that the spot then i know it... If not then explain how...

anyone notice that the last sau cruise was at the begining of feb? startin to become a regular thing, which is definatly a good thing.

i thought we are meeting same place as last time, up the top in the parklands carparks, smoothline can tell us for sure, hes the one organising this :D

btw smoothline, you wanna organise a meeting point for us goldcoasters so we can cruise up in a bunch?

not really sure, smoothline can decide that too (joys of bein the organiser)

if im meeting at bp coomera tho, ill be goin so theres enough time for me to get into some nandos chicken before we head off,

usually takes about an hour or so to reach bris from there at a sedate pace

We meet in the Roma St parklands, on the road that runs through them. Theres parking spots all along it.

EVERYONE meet at the TOP of the road in the parklands. Its on a hill, so figuring out which end I mean wont be hard :) Last time we had a group of 31's and a group of others 100m apart, bit silly.

Channel 16 on the UHF's.

Hey Slip.......

I said meet at the SOUTHERN end on the last cruise it was the guys in the R33's R32's that started the Trend up the Northern End....

But All Good......

So the Meeting Place Is Closest To The Gregory Tce Entrance.

Regards,

Ashley Neal

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
