Yep im down but lets see if we can find a good price.

The Eastern boyz had one of these a while back and i think they got em for around $80 with hfree.

http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?...eMax=&SUBCATID=

For use in all cruises

But i think will be VERY Handy this trip on Weekend :)

Ok things to consider:

1 Price

2 "name" ie quality

3 Line of site Range, they seem to be about1-3kms

4 Accessories, some u can get car Kits and hands free, chargers, some dont

5 Price :P

A few names off top of head, Kenwood Digitor Uniden Im going to look in "Jaycar" and "Dickies" for prices

Any other input would be good!

i went down south last weekend, saw two sets of cops with radars, two speed cameras and two traffic cop cars. Thankfully it was my lucky night and didn't hit any of them, not so for the supra tt and ss commonwhore i saw get pulled over.

anyway, i'd like to thank the guy in the M5 who had a visble radar dector. i just followed him from the city, braked when he did and it was smooth sailing untill he bailed! but man could that thing move when he wanted it to :burnout:

respect! *seriously considering a decent detector for long trips!*

:P

or just don't speed? what's easier?

I think the Unidens from Dick smiths are better.

Make sure it is 500mw which is highest power output before u need a license. Cost a lil bit more

Also i think the sound quality is a bit better than the Digitalk model from Jaycar hehe and the $128 model has got VOX saves on batts..

Err...I may know someone who can get a very good deal for you from Dick Smith's:D :P as some of you would know. Tell me which model you want. If you want my advice - don't worry about all the accessories - if you want something more comprehensive, get a vehicle mounted unit (they start at about $200) as these put out a full 5 watts & with an external antenna the range is faaaarrrrrrr better than a handheld (& you still don't need a licence).

Anyway - over to you guys. I got the week off work so i can probably get stock by Friday without any problems.

Cheers,

Mike.

I think uniden is pretty good with som enice features...etc.

I went to Garden city Dickies the guy said it will cost abour $128 bux...etc.etc.

but I have feeling that micko will do us better price :P heheh :uh-huh:

so people make decision at least by Wednsday!

cheers

Joe

Alright fellas - the best I can do on the UH-042's is $93.86 each. This price is normally for a purchase of 100 units or more, so we need to get around 10 people to committ to the buy so that we can make it look reasonable.

There isn't much stock in the state, but i should be able to muster up what you need.

let me know ASAP so that i can make sure that you get them for the trip on the weekend.

Cheers,

Mike.

*sniff*:P everyone bags the poor old supra:burnout:

Whats the external mic worth like 10-20?

Lets just do this thing today or tomorrow, we might get four but we will not get over 10 (paid for) in the next couple of days. U know how some ppl are when it actually comes to shelling out:rolleyes:

Pffft. Try driving a Sonata...

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 :)

good work on the group buy tho guys, this is the kinda stuff we need :P

Now who's up for radar detector group buys ??:uh-huh:

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
