and it is one product I WILL NOT be involved in. already spoke to a few of my customers that had the system installed and were less than impressed with it.

had quicktrak not pulled the pin and cost me a $60k council contract I may have a different tune.

opposite of what i am hearing,people i know and very large fleets have recently installed the system and are thrilled with it especially now coverage is Australia wide which was a weakness with the system.

the new self tracking option looks quite good too providing instant location speed data etc and i have heard they are installing around 1000 a month now.

maybe they got your contract too!

Dear "Quikbux employee",

I believe your company's integrity and actions has been highly questionable.

I was a long time loyal QLD customer was has been ignored and forgotten since 12th Sep 2008.

Since then;

You stood by as your administators set legal action of false unpaid monitoring fees against me. (and many others here)

You promised to honour my remaining credit, yet this has not happened to date.

You deducted monies from my account this year when I had no services.

Not surprisingly, nor would I recommend giving money to this company. Not so much for the questionable way they ran the business, but more so for the lesson unlearnt; They have difficultly appreciating the importance of doing the right thing by the customer.

I can't believe they have the hide to come here sprout their 'improved' product directly to customers they have burnt.

Here's a free business tip; take a course in service recovery.

If you ever get a consious, you can start with me.

hmm tempted. I might pre-pay another monitoring fee to another incarnation of Quiktrack until it goes broke, "sells" the company but does not honour the prepaid monitoring fees and offers me a great deal to pre-pay again for the same service.

actually I might just pass

So should anyone be renewing their contracts with QuikTrak. My father in-law just got a renewal notice with an offer of an upgrade as well.

BUT the manager's name at the bottom is Cameron PALLISTER. From reading this thread I am gussing that the same family is running the company still and I would be very worried about continuing to use this service.

Chris could you advise any further on your customers experience with QuikTrak in it's new form. The website qiktrak.com.au says absolutely nothing about any of the problems in the past.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all, does anyone know how to remove these things out of your car, sick of my battery going flat after three days of not driving it.

Also - is it possible to still use the central door locking and remote when its removed.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

a couple of members have asked me to correct a few misconceptions and answer a couple of questions that have been raised on this forum.

1. all Quiktrak products now operate nationwide for both tracking and alarming. for those customers with old systems who are yet to upgrade we offer heavily discounted price for upgrades.

2. Quiktrak offer 3 products

A) CarTrak - track only devise allowing for nationwide tracking coverage, online tracking that features 60day playback, over speed and mileage reports.

B) SmarTrak - offer all the features of the Cartrak including inbuilt shock sensor and back up battery, remote immobilse and duress. it also has a mainpower alarm.

C) CarWatch - fully integrated alarm with 3 point immobilser, remote immobilser, door, boot/bonnet, main power fail, shock and tilt alarms. all alarms are monitored by QRC 24/7.

these products start at $199(for existing or previous customers) to $999.

to all previous customers we have offered substancial discounts and subsidised installation costs for upgrades of existing systems.

we have now installed well over 1500 of these units in the past 6 months and have had NO negative feed back from our customers who range from individuals, small to medium and large fleets.

we have also sold these units into Dubai, South Africa, Lebanon, Russia, Indonesia and Malaysia, again all positive feed back and resulting in repeat business.

i can always be contact on my email [email protected] if you have any questions or need clarification on something. Feel free to call customer service on 1300 885 461 for any general enquires.

Aus Spec 32 - depending on the model system you have ( i am assuming is old if you have power drain issues) if it is removed the central locking will not work, as it operates through the old QT940 modem.

bites tongue.

cameron,

you are aware there are a LOT of pissed off people. I'm getting investors from pallister/crewe companies from years ago calling me chasing lost funds and trying to get their hands on you/family trust.

may want to watch what you say :) I get a call a week from around the country like this with most of them quite upfront why they called me.

also whats with the name change you are about to do.

and example of *some* of the emails I get :

------------

"B) SmarTrak - offer all the features of the Cartrak including inbuilt shock sensor and back up battery, remote immobilse and duress. it also has a mainpower alarm."

This has NO alarm, remote immobilise and generally no duress connected. Only able to recognise a trigger from existing alarms (or duress if connected)

"C) CarWatch - fully integrated alarm with 3 point immobilser, remote immobilser, door, boot/bonnet, main power fail, shock and tilt alarms. all alarms are monitored by QRC 24/7."

Alarms used are cheap china with single immobilisation via EXTERNAL relay which is fail SAFE (ie - unplug/remove power from alarm, and the car will start) with coloured wiring.

Also if you are chasing (and have others doing the same) the Pallisters, I have their home address which is also "Quiktrak" head office. They are still using VixQuikTrak, as that it what is on the invoices and also the customer notices etc that were sent out for renewal.

Don't be too liberal with the info, as they're sure to know where it's come from. And I wouldn't trust the Company with 50c, let alone my car. Most disorganised bunch I've ever come across. From incorrect info given to customers to double billing and cutting off accounts when it's not paid.

The guys in Sydney know their shit, but at the end of the day it's still run by the same idiots in the head office.. which is in Perth by the way. There's also no real "front" anywhere else in Australia either.

Wide berth!

I can supply the email addy and full headers if you like. I found this one in my incoming mail this morning so I would be careful what you say as a lot of 'other' people read this and some of them not nice.

to the guys in perth at your office calling me for a install contact - please do not. if you want a install contact for brissy - you are DEFINTELY talking to the wrong person.

    • 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?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
