Are UHF radios illegal? Do you prefer to use a psychic link with the rest of the group to know where to turn off to get lunch?

Look I really mean no disrespect. But how about hands free, blue tooth head unit, satnav (GPS), shit even refedex????

I really feel sorry for all those that are entirely dependant upon technology these days. I don't even have a single GPS unit in any of my cars and I manage just fine.

UHF radios are fantastic and considering it will be Easter it surely is good to be prepared.

However, I am not going to shake in my boots just because there is blockade of angry QP officers that have to work on a Public holiday.

There is enough of that nonsense already.

Lets all enjoy the day and have fun..............sensible fun.

yes, I am old.

I really don't get it? What are you on about? Is there some rule against CB radios I haven't heard of?

Do I need to paint mine safety orange so the police don't mistake it for a firearm?

I would rather have a walkie-talkie in the car then have to do an illegal U-Turn because I wasn't in the correct lane and missed a turn off during a cruise.

I understand people talking about being too dependent on modern technology, but CB has been around since the 40s...

Edit: Oh, nvm, I get it now, if the police have seen smokey and the bandit, if they see you with a CB radio they will automatically assume you are helping a big rig smuggle moonshine across state lines... My bad, thank you for your concern.

If you really don't understand what I have written above, then I really feel for you.

For the record CB radios are not illegal AFAIK as long as you do not use a channel that interferes with a restricted one ie emergency frequency

The point I was making before is that CB radios are not mandatory and people can still meet and enjoy a cruise day without them.

And a god damn refedex will certainly help you make a LEGAL u turn in the event you are in the wrong lane and somehow get lost.

Do you understand that now?

Mate, what I understand, is that I asked a simple question, "Has anyone tried this radio?", I was seeking some simple consumer advice on a thread that mentions in its first post that CB radios are a 'requirement' if you have them - I have one, but it is shit, so I wanted a better one.

I did not ask for a lecture about why I should use a refedex so that I can sit in silence for hours at a time on a social trip, in my day people weren't so antisocial...

I have not used the supacheap auto radio you are referring.

I will also not be using one on the day

Should you feel insecure about not having one on the day I recommend you either do the following:

1. Don't come to the cruise without one for you're sake

2. Either seek medical help to overcome your fear of not having a quality UHF radio

Jesus Christ!

CB's are by no means a requirement and the simple fact that cheap hand held ones have a very poor range in the mountains means that you can't talk to cars more than about 100m away means. They are nice to have if you like a bit of banter and the odd helpful direction but by no means necessary.

CB Radios are great for banter and that's about it. Very rarely are they used for directions or anything remotely useful. The cheap Repco ones that mouse and I have are good for the two or three cars in either direction. Also, can't really use a mobile and headset set up as most won't have reception on the route.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
