my car has a EZI TRAK alarm which is far better than quik track, i disable the car with my mobile and i can turn the car off my self if i get car jacked, quick track wont do it unless they get the ok from the police and the police decide if its safe to do so,so the theif is doing over 60kmh bad luck, i can set my speed alert when my car is getting some thing do to it eg paint shop,mechenic,i can get exact gobal postioning all though my moblie,the car rings me when it detects the door being opened or if its getting towed ect etc.check them out there web site is www.ezitrak.com.au

Great idea, turn the car off at over 60kph. Kill the guy stealing your car, kill an innocent family and go to jail.

There is a reason quiktrack won't do it without the cops and thats because it is bloody dangerous.

Why do you say that ? If the car is still in gear ( it would be when moving) and you switch it off you still have vacium assistance for your brakes and you still have assistance on your steering ( don't forget the engine is still turning, its just not firing so it will came to a stop ). Unless the car is an auto you don't have any problem at all, different story with autos though.

I have that in my cars as well , I would't be without it.

So if you had a choice to make, running the risk of your car being stolen or the freak 1000:1 posabliaty of the the guy killing himself you would let him go? and how are the cops going to make it safer to turn the car off we dont live in america were cops sent out a whole police station to surround the the guy stealing your car

I don't give a shit if the guy stealing the car dies.

It is the family that is driving on the other side of the road that he crashes into... Are you willing to risk the lives of possibly 5 people just to get your car back quicker? If you have a GPS monitoring system you are GOING to get it back... no point endangering the lives of others.

If you were directly involved in the deaths of kids parents, parents kids, boyfriends, sisters, girlfriends (directly as in you turn the car off, yes, that is directly) how would you feel? Once it has happened was it worth it? Was it worth getting your now smashed car back a little bit quicker?

Fair call i would feel realy sh*t and it would be a hard thing to deal with, i hope i dont have to make the decision,i guess i would try the cops for help, but i can get a status report before i turn the car off which tells me the current speed of the car.

It would also depend on which roads they were on (GPS will find that out) and the time of day. Since you own a GTR I'll assume it is a manual so the risks are lower for you :thumbsup:

Guess I would possibly make the call without the police authorising it if I felt in the situation it was safe but I'd make sure I only did it if I thought it was a last resort (safety pending) or he was going to injure someone/damage the car...

where i am, the first year skylines were legal, 1/2 of them that came in were either broken into, vandalised or stolen and burnt. right now about 1/4 of them have something of those 3 happen to them throughout the year (mine had an attempted break-in and 2 vandalisms on all seperate occasions). so it gives me reason to protect it.

on my car i have:

1) window edge thingers... the plastic bits at the top so rain doesnt get in with a slightly open window. that stops a lot of attempted thefts because they can slide anything into the car.

2) 2 way pager alarm that's so sensitive, bird crap can set it off.

3) a switch that's wired up to my fuel pump... i flick the switch, the fuel pump can't operate. the switch is also hidden so only myself, my fiance and my mechanic know where it is :D

4) next year will bring in a removable steering wheel but for the past while has been "the club".

obsessive? yes. Justified? yes.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
