Hello all,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this question.. but if not please move it for me. :D

The question is... UHF radio is there something special I should look for? or just get the cheapest and nastiest there is? :thumbsup:

Just need an idea on how much to spend on one and wether there is any recommended one (or one to stay away from).

Cheers,

just so you know uniden also make a stronger wattage hand held for about 150 or so which i spotted in a dicksmith catalogue

the stronger the wattage the better reception and larger ears you have... so to speak

(i got big ears) in cars are expensive however most uniden hand held radios are good quality.

yeah alex go splits with ben on the uniden ones, they're about 100 or 150, so its good when u split with someone else. just make sure u have backup batteries as they munch them up fairly quickly! but im sure they all do that.

I got this brick from work, and it's range is awesome for a hand held, dunno how much it costs though, I will be looking at an incar hooked up through stereo, I reckon incar is the only way to go for range!! This one I got is a GME TX6000.

I went halfs with my mate on the tiny tiny tiny twin pack one. They do the job on the highway, but arent too much chop out further.

Also get one that uses AA batteries not AAA batteries. The thing will pay for its self in like 2months :)

As far as cheap UHF radio's go .. You get what you pay for, cheap rubbish with less than 100m range.

The GME TX 6000 are good for a handheld radio and far better than any of the uniden range.

Me personally, I prefer a commercial grade of radio, Standard Communications GX 2000-U, or a Tait T2020 with 25 watts of RF punch [my ears must be huge hey BelGarion], though I use the GX 2000 more often as it more robust.

Expect to pay $600 for a Tait and around $1000 for a [sC] GX 2000.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
