Hi everybody

After seeing so many stags stolen I thought i might see if anyone is keen on a jaycar GPS tracker

I work for jaycar and can get damn good group buy pricing on GPS trackers

+8 pricing is approx $110, single unit price is $150

Here are the specs if anyone is interested i may organise a group buy PM me if you are

GPS/GSM Tracking Device

A GSM and GPS Tracking solution to locate and track the whereabouts of your vehicle in real time via the Internet on a computer or Smartphone. The device is easy to install with only 2 - 4 wires to connect. Insert a GSM Sim card (not included) and hide the device away on a metal surface or carpet using the included hook and loop adhesive. It works by sending the vehicle's GPS coordinates via the GSM network to the free online tracking service, which shows the location on Google Maps. It can also SMS longitude and latitude coordinates to up to 3 mobile phones, as well as alerts when vehicle exits a pre-determined area or exceeds pre-set speed.

Other features include an engine kill function to remotely disable the petrol pump, and movement sensor to extend battery life. An SOS/Panic button is also supplied which can send an SMS to the pre-programmed mobile phones. The built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery will keep the device functioning for up to 4 days when power is disconnected, which could help you locate the vehicle should it have been stolen and abandoned.

There is no installation or on-going tracking charges. You only pay for the GSM sim card and service. Supplied with wiring loom, installation and operation manual.

Please Note: This tracker is compatible with 3G SIM cards , however it only operates on a 2G band .

Features:

• Real time upload current location to website

• Turn off car engine by Internet platform or SMS for Anti-theft

• Listening sound around tracker with silence by SMS or platform.

• No platform Service charge (Our free tracking platform)

• SIMCOM GSM module (Quad band)

• Upload interval is 30 seconds according the setting of tracker

• Built in shock sensor to control GPS on off to extend battery life

• Shock sensor can be used as car shock & movement alarm

• Website shows history tracking

• Platform uses free Google Maps

• Send alert when vehicle exits a restricted area

• Send alert when vehicle exceeds the restricted speed

• Power supply disconnect alarm

Specifications:

• Data Usage: 0.07KB every 30 second upload interval

• Normal operating temperature: -20 to +55°C

• Restricted operating temperature: -35 to +70°C

• GSM Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

I believe this should be in the General Automotive section as it isn't really stagea specific. Alot of Nissans have been stolen recently.

Do you have any screen shots of the tracking system or photo of the product? How would this pair up to the Mongoose VT404?

what would be the average ongoing cost of the sim cards?

On going costs would be by which ever plan you chose. The sim card is not included and you have to go sign yourself up with a carrier and just pop it in.

Google 'long expiry' phone plans. Most discount resellers use Optus network so you need to be sure there's coverage where your car will normally be stolen.

The first plan I saw was $15 for 6 months.

That plan makes no sense.

$1/month, but minimum first month charge is $41, and you must have a minimum of $20 in your account at any one time.

So why is the first month $41?

$1 monthly fee

$20 for the sim card

$20 deposit

Then you just pay $1 month... Works out to be $1 per week really

$20 Deposit in case your car is stolen and you lose the sim card. (obviously they want it back @ some stage?) lol

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
