I'm going to do a group buy on these $99 Uniden UHF radios that we use on cruises and stuff.

put your hand up if you are serious about getting one, im going to push for $90, need 10 people or more.

The buy should occur in one month (early november)

only reply if you are SERIOUS.

these things are really handy on cruises/saturday night at the gold coast (street racers go on the same channel) etc

Err... Don't get the $78 one..

It sucks. For one it's got less features (Probably about one less) and two it takes 3 AAA batteries. You can get AA batteries from supercheap .. a pack of 4 for $1. Cheap as chips.

$78 isn't on special. That's how much they are week after week to buy.

THIS is the one you want.

NIZ30.. This cb is only used for cruises and the like to keep in contact with everyone about when the poo is on the stick, or the cops are in the pen (In otherwords, when the cops are around) or split second decisions on where to go..

If you want one that will go further, you will have to buy a more powerful unit that sits in your car. We have a little hand held as well as the car unit. The car unit (which also has 20 scanner channels) cost us $580 or some crap which we dont really use unless we are out on a cruise.. which mind you the little uniden hand helds do just fine :D

Yeah Slip ya **** put me down for one. But we should be able to get a better deal than $90 for a bulk buy. Firstly ask them for how much for ten....get that price. Then ask now how much for cash?.... And then ask why are they THAT price? You will be surprised how much money you can save....

I just got $40 a tyre off each tyre for the tyres on the 4wd by doing that.. It does work.

Cheers Shitlips

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
