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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
