what the hell are you supposed to do with a car like the Tomei one, cant use it or sell bits, just like Wayne Prices Mercury Doorslammer

probably some sheik or something like that in suadi with a NHRA style race track in his back yard 100 miles from no where just playing around with all these things

this it probably the most likely story.

sad to hear that this can go on!

Is that the carminder?

We have them in our cars, the only on-going cost $9 per month for the sim-card, the other one no cost unless calls are made .

It uses GPS to lacate the car and GSM to call you, if it moves, someone opens the door, starts it , cuts the main battery or even low battery ( bellow a pre set volt value).

Much better system that QT as it has unlimited cover as long as it is above ground ..

Sounds like a better system than QT but does "above ground" also mean "not in a semi trailer"?

It might be a silly question but I'm looking into something like this as I'm driving my car more and more all the time.

As long as you have a clear vision of the sky , it will be able to give you it's location, if it's in container it won't work but then it will give you the last known location. Same when you go in a tunnel or underground car park, it will give you the location of the point where it disappears.

it looks pretty good, but even though they dont charge monitoring it seems you have to pay $50 per year 'registration' and if you want maps that have street names, and street numbers you need to pay for the mapping service which as best I can tell is $800 odd. unless I've got it completely wrong. I must admit I dont fully understand the differnces between all their options.

No registration fee is needed ( unless you get them to monitor it) and you dont even need maps but if you want them you can get the software for about $150-200. The only on-going cost is the cost of the sim+any calls made from the car to you.

The unit will give you a longintude and latitude every second you can check that on any map, call the cops or shut the engine down if its driving.

If it gives you longitude and latitude, why do you need maps? Wouldn't whereis.com.au or even Google Earth be as good and free?

Sure would...

Only reason you would use the maps is if you want to dial into the vehicle with a modem and watch the car move around a map in real time.

The GPS/GSM tracking units will work if the car is in the back of a truck, so long as the pantech is not metal. If it is metal, then nothing would work...not even a mobile phone...

However, as soon as they drove the car out of the truck, you would get a position, and the unit would record the last known position.

it's good saying the docks should be checked, but the police wont even get that authority for weeks, which then will be too late.

i reckon these cars are long gone. best to start sorting out insurances

Not saying all car theifs are imigrants and not saying all imigrants are criminals / trouble. But for the size of their population, they are very over-represented :P

Your opinion is off-base. Not because it's politically incorrect (that's not enough reason to be off-base) but really that's not quite right.

Firstly, we're all immigrants in one form or another because we live in Australia. So it would make sense all immigrants would be represented highly, but it wouldn't mean they were over-represented.

If you consider it that immigrants are all those who aren't whities (the original invader) then it still doesn't hold because it's the indigenous population is actually the one over-represented.

farrrkkkkkk

    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that. 
    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
