Hi all,
I have for sale a Roo systems chip for Navara 2010 D22 STR - common rail.
We have sold the car and purchased a Patrol pre common rail. This chip will suit the 3.0 Litre Patrol CRD with new plugs being the only modification required.
The Nissan only had 14,000 km on it and the chip was purchased a few months ago and is as new - it does work and we enjoyed the change it made to the Navara.
Message me if you might be interested.
Dave

Folks the Troopy is sold. I should've posted this months ago but forgot. I was reminded when I had a phone call today from someone enquiring from Darwin. Asked where they saw it advertised they said here ... sorry 'bout that mate.
It was a good Troopy & I got my asking price, plus several offers over that once I'd committed to selling it at that price.

G'day guys,
I've previously looked into getting a CB Radio, I installed one I was given however it doesn't seem to work :/.
My question is. What do I need to know when looking for a CB, I have looked for prices and been hit with 100 questions that I have no idea on. Any help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately questions will come to figure out what you need.
So,Are you looking for UHF, VHF,HF or 27MHz CB?
Most would use the UHF radios these days so probably a better option.
What do you want to do with the radio..ie: communicate in a convoy, talk to people over mountains or long range communication or even just for emergency?
Let us know what you need it for and we should be able to give you some more accurate answers.
Cheers
Thanks for the quick reply!
In the long run, communicate with convoys, however currently my friends that come out with me are only talking about joining the dark side, so its best use will be in case of emergency.
Oh And what are the operating differences between high, very high and ultra high?
The operating of these radios are very similar but you would need a licence for HF and VHF( pretty sure) and there are different protocols of using these
You need to find out what your friends are using so you can get a same radio to talk to them
Where do these fit around usage? as in if I went UHF, so no license, That would be ok for convoy and emergency?
Certainly would be, most people use a UHF. The reason I was asking the question of what you would use it for is so I could recommend and aerial at the same time.Quote:

If you need a good allrounder aerial I would recommend something around 6db. 9db for long distance.
Radios vary in quality and price, I use a GME which is Aussie made and very good quality. Others will have different opinions.
I think I posted a picture of which aerial performs better in different terrains....I'll find it for you shortly..
Check this out as well for some info mate:

So, Im generally going to be on a beach, which is actually fairly bumpy, and curves around dunes, most will be in a convoy, however if supplies are needed It would be good to have contact for as long as possible, What antenna would you recommend?
Mate, close together and if distance is needed a 9db would be ok but if you have any mountains in the way you might have trouble. Might pay to have a 4.5db on and a 6db or 9db as a spare.Quote:

I agree with Kris.
Spend the money and get good quality aerials and spare/s. If you buy long aerials on springs, be careful that they won't end up through the windscreen and poking somebody's eye out.
Everytime I wash my truck, I always go around and make sure the aerial base is screwed in firm and not left lose. It doesn't take much time at all and should be part of your weekly maintenance.
Rossco
Wash? lol, I got a bit of a pig :P.
I've only seen one type of connection? Is there a certain brand I'm after?
One of the best sources of CB gear and at usually the best price in OZ is http://www.prestigecom.net.au/
They do "bundles" as seeing as how you need both a set and an antenna thats the way to go. If you are on a budget Uniden or GME or if you want very good quality go for an Icom.
Purely as an example here is a nice basic Uniden with an excellent elevated feed antenna and interchangeable whips ($330) http://www.prestigecom.net.au/index....oducts_id=2624
GME's will be about 30 or maybe 40 ish more for a similar set. ICOM's more again
If you get a single antenna bundle go for a 4.5 to 6 dB antenna for the best compromise of performance. 3 and 9 dB are starting to get towards the extreme end of the scale.
Without being a smarty... All you need (as you are not a CB hound) is a basic UHF set that you can select a chanel, adjust the volume and talk. Ignore all the other bells and whistles
Very helpful, thanks!
I bought one of those Uniden combos last week and fitted it up. Really small head unit. Could fit in an ash tray. 6.5 db antenna. May look around for a lower gain antenna for convoy work in the hills - welcome any recommendations. Seems to work ok. Big challenge is to work out what colour to make the display :-).Quote:

All of that said, I also have some cheapy hand helds from tricky dicky or similar, and for the work we did at Landcruiser Park they were every bit as good as the Icom.
I've got a Uniden with a remote handset, which the previous owner of the clunk mobile had but never installed it (got as far as connecting up the power - incorrectly I might add). The antenna I've got came with a 3 db and 6db blackwhip..........can't remember the make but looks very similiar to those uniden antennas in the website ET posted above
