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...

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 ???

11/3/02. Hi ******. Thank you for your enquiry.

We will fit the complete QuikTrak system to your car, furnish 12 months, 24 hours a day monitoring and GST for a total cost of $1896.50. Thereafter, the annual monitoring cost is only $300.

We can install at your home, or place of work, or any undercover location or at our Lindfield workshop.

Installation will take about 4 hours and I need about 2 days notice to make install arrangements.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
