one of these turned up today!

http://www.radiogearpro.com/main/product_i...ebad7423f80a703

its a 5 watt handheld UHF,i bought it from ebay, originally its only ment to operate from 400 - 470 MHZ of course this is of no use to me here, aus CB is from 467ish - 477.400 MHZ so a change here and there internally has now unlocked the radio to be able to work from about 130 MHZ - 520 MHZ.

Overall the unit is very small for its features and has a nice solid feel to it,has a good backlit screen too,considering the unit only costs $90 incl shipping its a great buy. its made my day so far :ninja:

I just got a letter in the mail from Shannon's Insurance about a competition they are doing. Head over to here to sign up, and more details....on the same day i take out a policy too :ninja: , if only i waited a few more hours to get that letter first.

Changing pumps in my Stagea. Does anyone know exactly what this "valve" purpose is? It looks to be 'incomplete' or damaged?

Okay, the pic is a bit blurry, but its the best I can do this time of night.

Its right off the pump. I'm now fitting a Bosch pump and need to know if I can just get rid of this "valve"?

Anyone? :ninja:

LOL would you believe we did the same thing?!? Yesterday we took out a new policy at Shannons, today got that letter!

If thats all i was going to use this unit for i already had other cheapie .5watt ones around that i could use....

The new one was bought for its higher power output, extra features and its ability to transmit and recieve on comercial frequencies.

If your around regency park, you may still be able to listen to some whack job swearing and going off his nut on the radio. When i was at tafe, a mate (who is on these forums), had a cb radio in his car, and we listed to the guy going off his nut.

Well we just got home from David Copperfield at the Entertainment Centre - WOW what a show! Not sure it was worth $300 for our seats, but was pretty awesome nontheless!

And then off to Hale and Pace at the Festival Theatre tomorrow night .... lucky me!

how far down south do you live Daniel and how soon do you need it on the road?

Me or Matty could tow it up for you possibly.

if i had a winch on my trailer we'd be right..........but i dont :) and i dont hav my winch on the car yet (or a front towbar point for that fact)

hey Matty, I was actually thinking of just pulling him up the driveway with a snatch strap (or tree trunk protector) connected to a tow hook on my truck.

I'm hoping this place he's going to is just around the corner though.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
