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

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
