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.

I hate that word, never mix a falcon with a commonwhore

ford FTW

I like the Telstra Pre-Paid mobile phone idea :(

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

Anyone whos had a kid will know hahaha

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

i thought it was funny about that group buy the guy running it goes 'i spoke to the supplier and we have to buy 100 to get any discount so im going to buy 10 and save on shipping' then when you see the size of the package he goes '18 registered post' LOL registered post is like $9.95=$2 for the insurance or something like that, a 3kg express bag is like $9.95 to any capitol city

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
