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.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
