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.

    • 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).
