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.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
