Just wanted 2 raise the issue of communication during cruises.

Since most of the problems I have encountered on previous runs revolve around directions, traffic lights and becoming separated from the group etc...

If we could all decide on which walkie talkie UHF tranceiver to buy, we could keep in constant contact with each other.

I have seen a Uniden model at DSE for under $100

Does anyone know which type would suit us?

I reckon they're a great idea. The cruise I went on in QLD had one at the front with slip, who organised the cruise, and another one at the back. We had about 20 Skylines and we stayed together for the whole cruise which went for at least 6 hours.

If anyone got stuck at traffic light etc, we just waited up ahead for the rest of the pack.

I'm from Qld.. And the $99 one from dickie smiths is the shit..

Its just enough to use when cruising and isn't too expensive... Make sure you get the $99 cause it uses AA batteries...

Up here its $1 for a 4 pack from Super Cheap. They last around a week even using it during the week. So if your only gonna use it on the weekends, it will probably last 2 weeks.

The $99 one also has the scan function which the $79 one doesn't and the $79 one takes AAA...

But its definetly the way too go.. Especially if you get one car ahead... one car behind to watch for cops etc..

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
