Does anyone want a free Uniden uhf radio? It has about 40 channels, i bought it in a twin pack and I only need one. They aren't great for long distance stuff but should be fine for cruises/meets.

*Batteries not included. :D

you should hang onto it to lend to people dude... better use that way

i got my twin pack here for such an occasion. go channel 40

Anyone can organise a cruise - heck i did and i don't even have a skyline.

You just gotta be willing to put in the time and effort, keep the cops informed. All SAU cruises inform the cops i hear, anyways. Jack told the cops about mine - don't think they cared to much and we didn't have any troubles.

Its mainly the hooning that attracts them (obviously why they rocked up after a commie did some ringies in the same carpark that we were in)

And yep. Radio's definately come in handy. :D

Used to be crap in the later days of CSA, we'd always get randoms in commonwhores doing a quick open wheeler then go speeding off down marion road....5 minutes later a cop would arrive and ask what was going on. lol

you mean lil bjays coming in LOL

it was good for the length of time we frequented there

as was the old morphettville junction carpark, until we got kicked outta there for the same shit

oh, and on a friday night whack ya UHFs on 31, ive always got the one on in the patrol

I've organized monthly cruises/meets on another forum for years when I was moderator there and with my previous car - I dont know whats the need to inform the police of EVERY cruise for? Its not a major big event across many multiple forums/clubs where you dont know how people will behave - its just a small get together weekly/fortnightly/monthly between known regulars...

probably a good habit to form though, even if it is just precautionary.

i dare say the boys in blue would look kinder on a cruise of skylines that theyve been notified about then one they havent.

Points taken - though to me it still seems ridiculous we basically need to keep them notified as if though we're a bunch of criminals just because we drive Skylines...

yeah i agree, but on the other hand i remember a lot of night cruises where we come across cops and they arent even interested :rofl:

a bit off-topic, but i was reading that japan is the complete reverse, over there you could drive as low/loud/offset as you want and never get looked at, but if you drive in a group of modded cars they will arrest the lot of you :domokun:

at the end of the day your only helping yourselves by letting them know.

wah, wah wah, is all I'm hearing..... :rofl:

The "car scene" is what it is, there is no point in whinging about what it used to be. Don't want attention? go for a drive by yourself. Hang out in a large group? run the risk.

Otherwise you could all sit on the internet whinging about it..... oh wait...... : :domokun:

it comes down to the age old argument,what other people cant have they make other people pay for,any car that looks like it gets looked after,is one reason too many for the coppers to check it over. its just lucky they dont know what thier looking at,the day that happens were all in trouble,i just got me a r33 with all the bits,i spent most of the weekend just trying to hide bits they look for,its rubbish its got that way.

Hey Damo. :domokun: You were quick to join up here! So how hard was it to see the CBR go?

We're having a small gathering at Vilis this friday night 8pm. Come meet some of the guys and sign up to come on the gepps cross Kart Mania night next week which I'm organising ... thats if Vanessa will let you play with the boys :D

btw hows the 33 treating you? Tracy and I are moving this weekend to the new house. We might take some time out and drop by if your home, and take a peek at the new toy. :rofl:

As of today, an Aprilia RS125. im a sucker for 2 stroke powerbands i guess, i'm going to work my way to the RSV Mille when i qualify.

I'm currently selling my GSXR600 race bike, so I can buy another RS250. Raced one before and I miss it. I think the 2 strokes are shit on the street, but awesome bikes on the track. I hope to be racing one again next year.

well the car scene has died in adelaide because of this stupidly cold conditions

while these conditions are great for our front mounts

its not so good on us human beings

wait till summer boys and gals

the car scene will definately return but at the same time the cop attention will too

its so stupid that the cops make us import drivers a moving target

Nail on the head.. Its cold and feels like it has been constantly raining.

Wait for the very first warm night and watch everyone head out.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.

      The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
