Usually it's as simple as opening them up and doing a bit of tuning and spreading some little coils apart a little ;)

They almost always detune them a little, and then put a fair bit of filtering on them so they don't interfere with other radios.

Ahhh, the old days of modifiying CB radios :);)

The UHF's are a little harder, and sometimes not much can be gotten out of them, but if you go from 500mW to 700mW it's a fair increase.

I want one for my bike so my wife and I can chat and also for trackdays and cruzes. How long does the $99 one last before a fully charged battery goes flat? Could I expect to get 6 hours of out of one?

Just went to Dickies and bought 2 x 42XR model, on special from $149 to $129, have voice operated VOX, so it will work on the track and the bike without push to talk. The hands free is a bit big but hopefully I can modify it or my helmet. Apparently 20Hrs non stop operation. Very neat little Box.

Pretty easy

They aren't much bigger tahn your hand

I can drive and talk at the same time.

If I'm not talking I usually just clip it onto the steering wheel and listen....

Or i just throw it on the seat at other times... or the passenger talks.. one of the two

The Vox is a bit crappy on the $129 model and I dont think I will use it, the only model that has a good one was $450. The hands free is very good quality and does have another puch to talk button. Drop into a dickies and have a look.

    • 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!
