I've got 4 of the little UH036sx-2 listed on that page, and use them for cruises.

They work fairly well, normally we are still in line of sight, if you start getting km's away i dont think they will be too good though. Dont use cheap batteries in them, they last 5 minutes. Good batteries last for weeks.

do u think 1W would be enuf?

My radio is switchable 1W/5W, and I normally use it on 1W. 5W is useful for when you're at the edge of your range and just need a little bit more.

However, remember that your comms will be limited by the weakest radio in your group. If you have a 5W and your mate has 0.5W (any cheapie handheld is 0.5W) then he'll be able to hear you but you won't be able to hear him, at the edge of range.

The cheap unidens do a decent job, as long as you're not too far away from each other. Put a big enough obstacle in the way and even a 5W vehicle mounted CB won't get through (although it will be better at getting around it if you move a little), so it does depend on your terrain as well.

One is the radio face in the centre console, one is of the unit in the boot and one is of the aerial (I have a smaller one for around town). I've got an extension speaker for the radio under the dash.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
