You can buy the GPS systems of eBay for about 39 buck !! Good ones to, and you can track your car of your iphone! And you can set it up up underneath the dash where thiefs can't find it.

Are they any good?

This thread scares the hell out of me! I'd die if someone stole my GTR!

Yeah type GPS tracking into eBay there real good easy to hide and watch your car from iphone live tracking

Thanks mate, I didn't realise they were so cheap.

I have the immobiliser and alarm etc but just one additional thing for further peace of mind never hurt anyone.

Shame this hasn't helped OP, GL with finding your car!

Just go the full works...

I'm talking a sophisticated system with motion sensors, alarms, immobolisers, GPS tracking units, wheel locks, kill switches, detachable steering wheel with lock.


Install a few kill switches in visible locations and then more kill switches in non visible locations.

Heck, carry around four of these in the car so that when you park you know you're not getting towed in a hurry.

Its reasonable to assume there is chop shops operating right now...so be careful.

Didn't realise these GPS units were actually that cheap.

My old man used to have one. It was ridiculously expensive and on top had to pay a fee every month.

However, it was VERY good. Constant phone updates and used to tell him everything.

I am glad to hear you can pick up some good units off ebay!

Benji you dont even carry a boot carpet around so i doubt you are going to carry a boot clamp! Shhhhhhhhhh! :P

They're heaps good, but apparently really sophisticated thieves carry jammers with them that disable the GPS trackers, i've read it somewhere in these forums, and it makes sense. Doesn't hurt to have one hidden somewhere though

if someone who knows what they are doing wants your car, They will get it. Its more to stop the joy riders and young cowboys.

    • @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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
