Car Security (Quick Track)

[ed]

southo, so are you gonna take me for a spin?

what's the ETA of the conversion?

zman, i've seen another cressida with this transplant....i think they guy is on toymods club...

There have been quite a few guys that have done the 1JZ-GTE (2.5L Twin Turbo) - and two that I know of that have done the 1UZ-FE (4.0L Quad Cam V8 from the Lexus) but I am not aware of anyone doing the 2JZ as yet. - If anyone has - I'd love to hear from them for a few things that have me concerned...

ETA for completion is by September 2003 (because I am driving up to the Jamboree at Willowbank, and want to drive it up) - The only thing holding me back at the moment is finding a bloody Aristo front cut for the engine and gearbox etc. I am leaving it Auto (coz I am lazy now) and the torque will be more than adequate

Total Budget is about $18,000 and I should be able to get about 200 to 220kW at the rear wheels. in a 100% road legal, fully engineered Luxury car that will be the ultimate sleeper.

Southo,

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Your input is greatly appreciated. Given you comments, I think I will err towards the NavTrak system instead.

I guess my final comment though, given that there is traking, is there also an alarm component? That is, with the rrp of $1950, does that include like a siren, immobilisers etc.

I mean, it's great if the car gets stolen, but what about preventing the car from moving at all? Of do I also need to purchase an external alarm again?

Thanks.

theres one with the plates F1MERC or something like that, nice looking thing.

I've had 2 cressidas in the family so far, the next would definately have 2 hair dyers hanging off the sides... OR a big one

Scotty,

Yes, there is an alarm/Immobiliser component built into the system at that price. I beleive that the Immobiliser is a 3 point system (I will ring to confirm)

Thanks for the Toymods links - yep - read them all and sussed out what I need etc. I got my new wheels on the weekend - (photos will be up at www.pbase.com/driftking/cressida this afternoon with the new wheels) So now I have the room to fit my new Brakes 330mm 4 pots - and then probably do the suspension at the same time. I am still trying to source a suitable front cut, and not having much luck

Hi Southo,

Thanks for all your effort in obtaining this information for me. I guess, yeah I'm keen to prevent it from getting it stolen, and would only like to track purely as a contingency.

Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply.
