We have decided to upgrade from the $99 one too a $400 one which I'm not too happy about but I seem to have no choice.

The one we are getting has a scanner in it too so that might come in handy. I just didn't wanna have the arial sticking off the roof and the radio sitting just anywhere in the car.

I think it makes it look untidy. But oh well :)

OR you could be like us and have TWO FOR SOME STUPID REASON!!

But we might have two cars soon.. so the scanner/uhf will stay in my car and the handheld in the mini :)

But also we could have it on the scanner while talking on the dicky smith special!!

Nismogirl, this may sound like a stupid question but am I to assume the scanner/uhf combo model you have allows you to listen to crap eg. Police, Emeregency, GRN, etc ?

If this is the case then this is the model I will get also as it will be good to have a scanner around for activities such as the Peats Ridge playground ....

It is.. But you can't listen the UHF and the scanner at the one time. Its basically got 60 channels. 40 for normal UHF and the other 20 are being programmed for police on sunny coast/gold coast/brisbane. Not sure about other emergency services though. Not that you really need to worry about ambulance and fire pulling you over and taking your car off you!!

The price that we have got ours for is $440 programmed. They are usually around $479 mark (RRP) but we are getting it cheaper through a friend of a friend (plus its gonna be programmed which costs $$ too) Its a GME TX4400 i think. Its a DIN size so it can still go in the dash.

There the info. Looks pretty swarve. AND to cater for my needs (cause i dont want a dirty big ugly arial sticking off the side of the car) we are gonna get a glass mount one like the coppers have. I think it will look better than off the roof or the front quarters.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
