the main benefit of an alarm is that they will target another car instead of yours, as yours is too much trouble.

As long as its not a GTR surrounded by Falcodores

I'm about to buy one of those GPS GSM Modules, from the GroupBuy on this forum. If the alarm goes off, it sends an sms to your mobile. You can then sms back, and get the GPS co-ordinates of your car. So even if it is on a truck, you'll be able to find it. The module is small enough to hide anywhere, and even if the power is disconnected, it has a backup battery.

As long as you find it before it goes in a shed.......then GPS is useless.

The old $20 Telstra Pre-Paid mobile phone hidden & hard wired to constantly charge and put on 'silent' is the best way to track your car via Telstra.

errrr what are the differences between the new Falcons and VE Commonwhores - they look the same, sound the same, have the same power level, and both attract bogans :G

Hence why Ford have embarked on their insanely disgusting colour choices in recent years (orange, lime green, yellow, etc) - so you can tell Falcons and Commonwhores apart

yeah I'm not knocking GPS modules because we use them to track employee's vehicles. Only prob is that sticking them under dashes or seats restricts the signal and on very overcast days they keep dropping out. The idea is to get to a console ASAP and track it live or else make sure that it can log the data for download later.

2 ways of tracking is either by distance or by time, we use both.........ie, ping every 50 metres whilst mobile then every 3 to 4 minutes whilst stationary.

The idea with the Telstra pre-paid mobile phone is obviously the cheapest and easiest to install and cops have used this method for serious felonies but I don't know how you would go with Telstra pinging it for you.....probably would if you had a $1 mill Ferari or Lambo.

The kit thats being sold in the group buy has an external GPS and GPRS antennae and so can be mounted anywhere discrete (such as A pillars, B pillars, parcel seat, underbody etc...). They look pretty nice for what they do, and I wouldnt mind getting one cause they can be wired in to the security system as well... quite a nicely designed system but like SLED says, if they get it into a chop shop, its bye bye..

Dohmar can you post up a link to that group buy, had a quick scan but couldn't find it? Maybe coz im too tired :ermm:

Yeah, no need to go thru that guy. He only has 74 posts in 1 year and now wants $295 + freight.

You can get it yourself for that price anytime off Ebay.

There's also another good one that allows you to discreetly dial into the cabin and hear what the thieves are saying.

Identical to the Group Buy

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
