Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone out there know if GPS tracking devices are allowed to be installed in your own vehicles? Also, just want to get a general feedback on if there were a fairly decently priced GPS tracking device available, would you get them?

Thanks!!

Yes of course you can track your own vehicle. 2 main types of tracking available are a self monitoring system such as the Mongoose VT404 which is affordable and only other costs after installation are sms costs between you and the car. The other type is usually more expensive and has annual monitoring or subscription costs but offers alot more in terms of datalogging the vehicles events throughout the day and also realtime tracking. Prices vary from state to state.

As far as I know its fine to track your own car.

I've cheaped out on mine and used an android handset with an inbuilt gps reciever off ebay and a car charger, using prepaid mobile or really cheap optus resellers you can have a great little solution. I'm currently paying $5 a month on an optus reseller to track my car 24/7 which is pretty decent.

In Victoria? Speak to Chuck at Carzon car audio in Dandenong; he knows what he's doing. 9791 4301

generally a mobile Sim card is the cost efficient way to go. You'd want to go with the carrier that has the most coverage though; ie; telstra.

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
