one of these turned up today!

http://www.radiogearpro.com/main/product_i...ebad7423f80a703

its a 5 watt handheld UHF,i bought it from ebay, originally its only ment to operate from 400 - 470 MHZ of course this is of no use to me here, aus CB is from 467ish - 477.400 MHZ so a change here and there internally has now unlocked the radio to be able to work from about 130 MHZ - 520 MHZ.

Overall the unit is very small for its features and has a nice solid feel to it,has a good backlit screen too,considering the unit only costs $90 incl shipping its a great buy. its made my day so far :ninja:

I just got a letter in the mail from Shannon's Insurance about a competition they are doing. Head over to here to sign up, and more details....on the same day i take out a policy too :ninja: , if only i waited a few more hours to get that letter first.

Changing pumps in my Stagea. Does anyone know exactly what this "valve" purpose is? It looks to be 'incomplete' or damaged?

Okay, the pic is a bit blurry, but its the best I can do this time of night.

Its right off the pump. I'm now fitting a Bosch pump and need to know if I can just get rid of this "valve"?

Anyone? :ninja:

LOL would you believe we did the same thing?!? Yesterday we took out a new policy at Shannons, today got that letter!

If thats all i was going to use this unit for i already had other cheapie .5watt ones around that i could use....

The new one was bought for its higher power output, extra features and its ability to transmit and recieve on comercial frequencies.

If your around regency park, you may still be able to listen to some whack job swearing and going off his nut on the radio. When i was at tafe, a mate (who is on these forums), had a cb radio in his car, and we listed to the guy going off his nut.

Well we just got home from David Copperfield at the Entertainment Centre - WOW what a show! Not sure it was worth $300 for our seats, but was pretty awesome nontheless!

And then off to Hale and Pace at the Festival Theatre tomorrow night .... lucky me!

how far down south do you live Daniel and how soon do you need it on the road?

Me or Matty could tow it up for you possibly.

if i had a winch on my trailer we'd be right..........but i dont :) and i dont hav my winch on the car yet (or a front towbar point for that fact)

hey Matty, I was actually thinking of just pulling him up the driveway with a snatch strap (or tree trunk protector) connected to a tow hook on my truck.

I'm hoping this place he's going to is just around the corner though.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
