ie: Which systems are good / bad - Experiences, costs, pros, cons etc ??

Happy to share my experiences on Quicktrak --- Had it my VT SS - (modded) - No-one touched it !

When ever the alarm went off (inadvertantly) - within 5 mins, I'd have the call from Quicktrak.

I don't think we need a security section... I think the less sections the better, instead of having a section for every little thing, and then having 10 threads in them in a year, I say minimise sections...

This would expose the threads to more eyes as they would have to be posted in a more highly read section such as General Discussion or something...

Andrew. :uh-huh:

I think we should run with it Porgie .... as I'd think alot of new guys may be wondering what to fit up to their pride and joy, and most old skoo Sky owners (if not all) will certainly have an alarm and a good story / feedback to go with it .....

I for one would certainly like to hear from anyone with either a Brant Nemesis alarm, or a Quik Trak system ... I can't decide at the moment and need some help :(

Good stuff fellas -

Combining audio and security is a good idea - I know not a lot of ppl like to talk security for fear of some theiving so and so being able to identify etc. However, I think the more said, the better informed we all are therefore the more secure we all are.

I want to know about putting two alarms/imobilizers/tacking systems in the same vehilce.

Also about physical security stuff you can do ??

Cheers,

BF

Actually, we've got two alarms in our Saab, coz the quiktrack couldn't handle the wierd locks that it had.

Basically we have 2 remotes, both can lock the doors (but only the factory alarm can do the deadlocking or open boot.)

Verdict - pain in the arse - two different buttons to do everything.

Wouldn't live without the Quiktrack though.

I would like to put both a Quik Trak and Brant system on but I feel it would be a pain .... Does the fautre list of the Quik Trak compare to the Brant Nemesis or the Boomerang alarm system ??

As for cost of Quik Trak, here is an e-mail my mate recieved from them regarding the system ..... I have e-mailed Quik Trak but they never respond to my queries ???

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
