I use a Uniden that I got for $90 from Good Guys, its great for cruises etc. Ive never had a problem with it.

When you buy cheaper ones though they have really bad reception and are hard to hear people on.

I really like the idea of moving shots through the tunnel too, that will look awesome.

We will need to be careful to not attract to much attention on Friday night. It looks like there is going to be allot of Skylines there and we will be getting lots of looks... Especially from the Police, so EVERYONE needs to be on their best behaviour!

Im am suggesting that if anyone does something stupid that endangers our car, lives or licenses then they will be told to leave, its not worth showing off and ending up with 10 dead Skylines or worse.

Agreed. The purpose of this gathering is for AWESOME photos and we want to be able to do it again. Lets not attract attention of the negative type.

I don't think anyone in our group is likely to do anything stupid.

Other groups that may turn up to the museum and try to show off (like that Falcon from a few weeks ago) are a different matter.

I think youre kidding yourself Mark (Bluprint) there will be lots of us who will be tempted to do some "spirited" driving, even if its just a small traffic light gran-prix or a slight drift around a bend it will attract the wrong sort of attention and give us all a bad name.

I was more thinking about while were were at the museum or whatever while taking photos. I was more getting at I don't think anyone in our group is going to get bored and start doing burnouts etc.

Fair enough, I'll agree with you there...

But remember that there are people who are involved with certain other car "clubs" around that may turn up uninvited and start doing stupid sh#t.

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Transmission synchros feel pretty bad at this point in my car and sometimes the clutch feels like it has an inconsistent engagement point in the pedal travel. I figure if I'm going to swap in a new transmission I may as well also put in a new clutch. Obvious candidates are ATS's pull-type twin plate carbon clutch, Nismo Super Coppermix Twin, or some organic clutch option I haven't figured out yet. I have searched this stuff to death at this point and still don't feel all that confident in making a decision. Target power is not much. ~330 kW at the wheels max. I ballpark the torque spec at 600 N-m. The stock clutch feels a little light so a little heavier is ok but I would say no more than 15-20% additional pedal effort. For some reason most clutch manufacturers want to keep this stuff a secret but the Coppermix Twin is 950 kg clamp load so I figure it can't be too much heavier than stock. The hang-up I have is some people mentioning that the clutch is very grabby which sounds like a pain. The stock clutch is almost too easy to modulate so I don't mind if it requires more precision than that but I don't want to deal with something that feels like I'm getting rear-ended at every traffic light. Also I see some mention of the release bearing carrier sizing requiring some work which sounds like something that might complicate installation? It would be good to know exactly what is needed here for a 1995 R33 GTR. The ATS clutch is supposedly the best but I've seen some complaints that they wear out easily and also slip when cold. I don't know how much of that is true but the cost is also huge compared to even the Nismo Coppermix twin plate. It's also unsprung which normally I would reject immediately but supposedly carbon clutches don't need it. The higher clamp load at 1300 kg is also a little concerning but to me more clamp load seems like it inevitably means more pedal effort and also more strain on the engine crank thrust bearings.  This is a street car and despite being a weekend car I seem to spend a lot of time crawling in severe traffic congestion with it anyways so I will gladly pay to have something that is easy to drive on and will hold the power with no unexpected headaches. I really don't want to do a clutch twice.

      Grease the poly bushes as your first order of business. Moly grease. Spanner check everything else. Inspect LCA inner bushes.

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's usually associated with a muffler. Often in the middle of the muffler, sometimes at an inlet. Not removable by just slipping something out. usually needs butchery (read outright replacement of the muffler). There's absolutely nothing magic about any Jap exhaust brand. Totally generic. Totally replaceable with anything else that will do the job. I've replaced the centre muffler in mine a couple of times.

      EFR Anti surge = T51R mod?

      By RB335 · Posted

      I've had a 9280, 9280's in stock form produce a bit of a whine when coming on unlike the 9180 so you may already like the turbo sound as it is.

      Creaking sound on momentum change 99 RsFour

      By Wazmond · Posted

      So everytime the car is changing momentum, say you were going forward, and then you brake, itll do the creaking  and then wont happen when you brake again while still going forward. but once you put it into reverse and then you brake itll creak, but wont creak any more after while still reversing. And then again, when you go back to forward and the first time you brake, itll creak.  ( note will only happen the first time you brake when traveling a direction ). Wont happen, when youre going up speed bumps or hitting a pothole etc. Sound comes from Front left area.    I'm unsure as to what might be causing this sound so if anyone has any suggestions please. Ive got a set of R34 GTT brakes that I will be installing soon too. (and disregard the gutter rashes, from previous owner(s)... ) Otherwise, it has a shot set of Tein Coilovers, original bushings except poly on tension rods. Car has 138k kms. Video reference :
