couple of things you can do really....

1) Go to Autobarn they are selling an alarm (Viper i think) which has the alarm its self and the gps unit by its self. Gps unit isnt a live feed, it works off a signal when you request it (costs $100 a year)

2) Buy a andrioid phone, put it on the simplest plan and install a tracking app. Use when required and put it in a well hidden place

Hi Mate,


We sell a few different trackers at Carbon Car System.

There are 3x I would recommend:

1. Viper SmartStart GPS Tracking - (mentioned above) - $389 inc GST + $99 Per Year

This is designed to work with a Viper alarm for the full features but you can hook it up as a passive GPS tracker so you can track your vehicle on your phone anytime. The application is quite cool you can download for free off any App Store and try it. Viper SmartStart App. This offers a real time spot location check and is really really easy to use and accurate! If you couple it with an alarm system you can get alerts on your email and phone also. It does run a cost of $99 per year but they include all the hardware, sim card in unit (telstra for best coverage) and usage of the unit.

2. Mongoose VT404 - $370 inc GST + $20 Per Year

This is again a passive GPS tracker similar to above but it is limited to its ability to SMS alerts and GPS spot location checks via SMS. It can also be hooked to a car alarm to receive alerts on the phone. Benefit is it doesn't have an ongoing cost except sim card usage so you can us a prepaid SIM costing as little as $20 per year.

3. GridTraq Executive - $499 inc GST + $20 Per Month

This is a full live tracking GPS system that allows you to monitor vehicle online through website access anytime any where with historical data stored and alerts. This is the real deal full GPS live monitoring. It does cost a little more and comes associate with a fee of $20 per month.

Anyway thats a few basic options for you if you want any help feel free to contact us anytime we are very good with vehicle security.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Gardener

So the smartphone would have to be on charge permanently?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
