Hey guys.

Looking at a security system for my skyline.

Tossing up between Viper and QuickTrak.

I want something that calls/sms me when there is movement with the car.

And satelite tracking.

Anyone know which ones are good and how much and where i can get these from?

Cheers.

Viper = crap and illegal so that means insured car = un-insured!

Quiktrack good .. expensive tho

Autowatch 854i good one :banana: Im pretty sure Mr Rogers will agree its a winner with built in turbo timer .. but quik track has sat tracking .. Only a addon on autowatch :worship:

Qualifications: 15 years Industry Experience, Master Licence and installation Licence, ASIAL Member, CARSAFE

They are licensed qualified installers who can most likely install something that will be covered by insurance.

If you need an immobiliser for insurance, it's best to first ask your insurer what they require, as some insurance agencies may have different requirements. At the minimum it would be an Australian Standards approved immobiliser, which they can definitely do. Then talk to your alarm installer and tell them what your requirements are, and they can assist you.

Recommend the Autowatch 456 or as its now known as the 446premium insurance approved with certificate immobiliser/alarm/turbo timer and can do antihijack intergration will communicate with the CATE 800 GSM paging alarm and can also give you tracking for the price of paging it seems everything your looking for is right here, at a reasonable price too. :P

I read this as:

Autowatch 456 + CATE800

= Paging via GSM(Mobile Phone)

= Tracking also ??? how does this system track your vehicle? It doesnt have a GPS receiver, does it?

The Autocate 800 has 5 digital outputs, which could be used to remotely sound the horn, shut down the engine, etc.

trav,

he does Q'trak as well. that is the tracking side of his reply. that said if you want GSM paging / location for cheap then DEI do one.

CATE is purely an alert device nothing else.

depends on the model. if you are talking about hte old 791 and it was fully fitted then it was illegal to use half of it.

ones like the 460/480 are a different matter.

either way I wold do the autowatch and be done with it..

Are there any differences between the 456 and 446premium? Or is it a simple name change?

A few changes have been made, these are, new look remotes that use a differant language to communicate to the alarm, a few software changes to accomodate the next generation sirens (coming soon), more progammable features, and they can now be prgrammed to receive signals from Autowatch wireless PIR sensors (found in home alarms) to set your car alarm off if someone walks into your garage or carport etc. Also wireless engine immobiliser relays are coming soon! Beat That Viper!

Security In Motion and Autowatch..........NO ONE DARES COME CLOSE!

If you use a Telstra SIM card with the CATE 800 paging alarm all you need to do is register with a website called www.gofinder.net I think its about $30 for 30 views and when CATE sends you alarm message or anytime you want you go back to the website and you can track your vehicle to within a 40m radius. It basically tracks the SIM card whether its in a phone or a car alarm. Designed for men to track where there wives have gotten to I think, or the other way around lol :cool:

It doesnt only alert,it can do same as Quiktrak only cheaper and you monitor car yourself, you can lock/unlock doors via sms, you can shut off fuel supply with its own immobiliser or sound horn or off smoke bomb inside car like they do in the country where it is designed South Africa. Did a Chopper monster bike with it, customer called me back and said his wife tracked him on the Princess Hwy instead of the Pacific Hwy where he told her he was going, he got busted, lol. Try fit a Quiktrak on a motorcycle, without using a box trailor anf that will impress me. :cool:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
