Finally got my UHF back, when I lived in the states I always had one on me while I was driving (got to be honest with you I always feel like I'm on the wrong side of the road here), I was wondering if you guys normally have them on when you drive and if so what channel do you usually "live on"?

Yea basti thats the one he was talking about, anyway I think it's always useful to keep one in my car so if anyway sees a Silver Skyline with last 3 numbers in his reg 234 (cant remember the first 3 for the life of me) give me a shout, I'm usually on channel 40 (It's nice listening to the bears, traffic updates, and non-sense)

What CB are you using? I'm just using a handy 5W the range is decent but I'm thinking of getting one for my car I'm just worried about where to place the antenna

I have a Uniden hand held (walki-talkie), always having it scanning through all channels, if i hear anything interesting I lock it on. However if i'm out and about with my mates who are in other cars i'm usually on channel 6.

JamesK - in regards to the antenna - possibly try an internal antenna. Just as an idea...

We SAU guys should elect a UHF channel, so we can have a shout out to other SAU people we see on the road... Any suggestions?

Haha that is exactly what I do, I really like channel 40 tho especially when they tell you were the traffic jams, bubble blowers, and bears are. I was thinking along the same lines as you Mark but how many SAU people have UHF's? And to make every1 stay on the same channel.....I'm up for that, how about you guys?

Out of curiosity which & how much was your Uniden Mark?

ch40 ! .... in the south east around the clayton/heatherton area there is this dude on there "bullbar' they call him, gives shit to all the truck drivers some funny stuff to listen to.

40ch UHF's are hard to find a empty station, and when driving they dont stay empty for long.

i'll see if i can get you 2morro Jamesk

In the northern suburbs ch3 has always something on but sometimes gets polluted by crap. Ch40 in my area is pretty quiet until you get near the ring road and hume highway.

My uniden is a basic walki talkie - 0.7W - came in a pack of 2 with charger and hands free with voice activation, I think it was around $150.00. Mainly used for road trips when traveling in multiple cars, helps save on mobile phone bills and if there is no mobile phone signal - because i usually travel to the mountains for some twisty action. :banana:

Cool I got a 5W off ebay, skeptical at first but got a lot of good review for it, it's a little bit complicated but I'm pretty sure it's because I'm a complete noob I like it

Bullbar is a complete tosser, he uses a big set up and bounces off repeaters so he is heard all over melbourne, im based in dandenong but get him clear as day in geelong and out past calder, there is another guy that is sometimes on really early who calls him self soprano, funny thing is if everyone ignored them they would get bored and go away (as most ppl with intellect of 9 yr old does) but they keep feeding them so they hang around like monkey's.

Channel 3 is the basic chat channel for uhf, the few times i have been on there i have found it full of use less idiots talking useless bullshit.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
