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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
