Put me down for one of the UH-042's as well if it helps bolster the numbers on the order. I have sold the jaycar unit to a friend.

If we ALL get the Uniden UH-042's we can use the Selective calling feature which will mean you can cut all the external chatter out and only recieve calls from guys on the cruise - cool huh? :P

As for teh handhelds, I saw these in Dickies for $98, accessories are extra of course. For a saving of $5 i'm gonna pick one up next time i'm down there hey :)

There are three models available:

UH-037 About $80

UH-040 About $98

UH-042 About $140

As for the vox headsets, they retail for $97. I can get a price tomorrow but they will still be very expensive.

We need to confirm numbers & how we can do the deal - let me know of any ideas. Note that I will be going to Busselton on Thursday to visit the folks so the best time to do it would be tomorrow.

Didnt i see a headset on jaycar for like 11.95??

Hey i got an old pair of headfone that fit a plane u reckon this thing would have jacks for it ahh... wait a minute, i might look like a bit of a tool driving with a bigass headset on:uh-huh:

Macka - vox is a 'feature' of the unit, but you need the headset to suit. I am pretty sure that there is an aftermarket headset to suit but there is no stock in WA. I really don't think that the headsets are a good op;tion though due to their expense & I wouldn't think that you guys will be on the radio all the time - if you are it will cost you a fortune in batteries anyway.

I would be happy to get the stock to PVA (if that it OK with you Joe) & you guys can give him the money on the weekend.

Just a thought re the UHF radios guys:

We (err - I mean DSE) are getting some 'home brand' UHF's in soon that have the vox capability & will be much cheaper than the Uniden products but with the same performance. Might be a more cost effective option as I am sure that the price my contact can do will be very good indeed.

My recommendation: wait a few weeks till they come through & save some moolas:D

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
