Hi guys, just picked up a great little handheld UHF transmitter for $80 from Jaycar in Perth.

Its perfect for convoys / cruises etc and gets about 1k or more in the city and 5ks in the country.

It supports the repeaters in Perth so you can get full duplex (speak and listen at the same time like a phone).

They also have a handsfree headset for it for $15 which is handy if you are driving :)

If we can all get UHF handsets it HAS to make cruises easier to manage and a lot more fun!

I was playing around with it last night, and I was recieving signal from a group of guys driving around about 5ks away, so it definitely has pretty good range!

That's the one that I got.

Their pretty good hay... They are great on cruises when you get stuck at lights etc. and great on long trips if you have another car with one.

The repeaters here in Canberra are great. On one of them I can talk right to the Victorian boarder !!!! That's using this little handheld !!!!!

i was on a silvia cruise the other night, and a bunch of guys had them, they looked like they come i handy, especially when someone spots cops, everyone else can be warned too.

Not that we were doing anything illegal...

      In the US people definitely take photos. It's a lot of attention. I personally don't care but I drive pretty cautiously.

      Hazards not working R34 GTT

      By r34.rory · Posted

      Hi guys. Title … Bought new genuine hazard switch and new genuine flasher relay, indicators now work but hazards still not working. Hazard fuse all good tested with a multimeter.  Tested hazard wiring, I’m a div forgot to test with button actually pressed in, nevertheless, here’s what I measured with hazard button disengaged… 1st wire - red - 0v 2nd wire - green/red -12v 3rd wire - white/green - 12v 4th wire - blue/red - 0v 5th wire - black - 0v 6th wire - white - 0v 7th wire -  green/black - 0v 8th wire - blue/white 5.95v Does this look okay? - can anyone confirm if the hazard has its own relay , separate from the indicator relay ? Apparently r33 has two relays ?   Racking my brain trying to figure it out 😭

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      New alignment and matching tires is great and f*ck me are the German roads fast. Took another trip to the Nurburgring yesterday with my buddy and the car feels great in the dry - a lot of mechanical grip. In corners at 140-160kph I felt like I could keep going.

      Has anyone else been swarmed by morons with cell phones taking pictures of their car? A few of you may know, I recently moved from Japan to Europe and brought my R34 with me. Since arriving I've driven the car a handful of times and without fail have had people filming/taking photos of me with the car to a point where it's becoming annoying and a bit hazardous. Yesterday, whilst driving with my buddy (R32 GTR) on the highway, I spotted three cars pulling alongside with some twat hanging out the window recording with his phone. This one VW Golf came alongside in the passing lane and held position preventing me from being able to pull out and pass slower traffic in my lane so I gestured to him to F*ck off.  It seems when people have approached me, in the car park, at work (drove there once - mistake), gas station etc. they ask the same questions: "why doesn't it have a wing?" and "how much power does it have?"; the latter has been met with pure disappointment when I told the kid it's stock. Of course, Japan was a totally different story, the people are a lot more subtle and have never bothered me about my car or have been polite in doing so. Has it always been like this in Western countries, and what are your experiences? I just don't recall this ever, or maybe I didn't have a nice enough car back when I was growing up in the UK. I've taken the R34 out a total of six times since it landed and besides going to the Nurburgring area it's becoming more of a pain than anything.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
