Hi everyone,

I'm looking at purchasing a GPS tracked alarm system for my car, at this stage I think I'm settled on the Quiktrak system as been very secure.

I know Chris Rogers provides a lot of advice on the forums but he doesn't work in Melbourne.

Chris if your online whats your recommended installers in Victoria? I live in the South Eastern suburbs so if you know a good installer close to here that would be great :kiss:

Can anyone recommend a good install place and any ideas how much it will cost? I'm looking at the "CarWatch" system, I might need some optional extras depending on what it comes with and how much it costs.

Also, when I get something like there "CarWatch" system installed do you have to subscribe to their monthly monitoring?

I do believe the system can be set to call the owners mobile if something went wrong which would be ok with me :P

Regards,

Gareth

best to ring the melbourne QT office if you havent already. I have a fellow I use in MLB but he doesn't do QT.

QT does have a $1/day monitoring fee and they will tell you if someone sneezes on the car IF you want them to. the system is monitored in real time and on average from the time the car is triggered to the pohne call is 10-15 seconds. the fee is not negotiable. you pay it , they watch your car for you- you dont - then the QT unit becomes an alarm only.

I use them on the council ferries here in brissy and they will get me out of bed every once is a while (my name is on the call list.) but I rarely have a problem with them.

I'll try giving there office a call next for the details, I'm not sure if I want to pay an extra $365 a year in fees to have my car monitored.

Do you recommend any other GPS tracked alarm systems?

Does anyone else use another GPS tracking system that they'd recommend?

I know there's CarWatch and EziTrack.

car watch is QT. for piece of mind its the best option. they have the power and control of the police IF the car gets taken to shut it down. few others can.

I have a version of the system in my personal vehicle (mine is a custom version to suit my application) and I can sleep easy becuase of it. last van I had contained a similar setup.

Oops, think I was referring to http://www.carminder.com.au/index.htm , not CarWatch.

Will chat to QuikTrak, I'll do it if I can get a discount off my insurance (and I can't see why not, it would help prevent theft :)).

Regards,

Gareth

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
