I think they traded out of it but wrxhoon did put a very good case to me as to why they ain't that good.

If you had a GTR or something you'd want a quiktrak and a ezitrack but the money is just too much to justify on my cefiro.

I might just get a normal alarm/immobiliser and ask the installer to leave me an extra wire or two where I can fit a couple of my own little tricks heh heh.

Incidentally, why do all these imported cars NOT have immobilisers/alarm already? Are car thieves an Australian invention?? Hmmmmm. So many high-performance/expensive cars, and none of them have any security devices?

PS Lucien you sure seem to have your heart set on Brant!  :D

Theft in Japan has historically been incredably low. I don't have my heart set on Brant at all. I am just totally confused.

CK: Quiktrak has had financial problems, but more importantly, their radio-style of tracking is flawed. Sattrak (thats a company :P) is a better option as they use a combination of GSM and GPS tracking. Brant offers their own tracking module too, for about $2000 on top of the cost of an alarm :P

lwells:

just like a few others have said, PM wrxhoon on this forum about a tracking alarm, or pm me and i can get him to call you (but it wont be untill the weekend they are in japan)

the tracking alarm from wrxhoon uses gsm to contact u and sattelite and will only cost about 1300.

if you are not worried about your car getting stolen then just get the cheapest 3 point system u can get (around 400) anymore than that is a waste unles u get a tracker.

I have already PM'ed WRXHOON in the past. My concern with self-monitored tracking units is that if ones phone is off, on silent, out of battery, or out of range, then its of little use. The alternative -- monitored systems -- are quite expensive.

The unit WRXHOON (or rather his friend/son/whatever) installs is the EzyTrack unit also used by Sattrak.

yeah fair enough i believe though that now u can get a slightly different unit (from wrxhoon again) which can be monitored by sattrack or whoever as he is an installer for them... but then u have to pay yearly fees and i think the unit is slightly more than the normal(self monitored) system.

Finally got an alarm installed: I can sleep a bit more easily tonight :)

But more importantly a H-U-G-E thumbs up for Allan Jong of Maxi Security. They guy is an absolute champ: he gave me a great price; was extremely helpful; he comes to you; he came out on a Sunday; spent 7-8 (!!) hours installing two alarms and is just an all round top bloke.

I am honestly blown away by his service: not a moments hestitation in thoroughly recommending him to anyone.

The problem with automatic window winders is that all alarm retailers charge a load of money for them. Black Widow quoted me $200 for 2 windows.

I built a circuit from parts I found at Dick Smith for $14 that will do the same thing. Keep in mind Dick smith retail prices are high already.

There's a reason for this...

Automatic window winders are illegal.

If they were to install it, they would be in contravention of some ADR.

So if they're going to do the job with that risk, they'll charge accordingly.

I have a fairly ok 3 point immobiliser on mine but my parking habits are pretty strict.

Those Black Widow BW10000 alarms are on the NRMA approved alarm list... and I believe you can get a 3rd point for a bit of extra money.. but are they compatible with turbo timers?

Can't find anything to say that they are.. or are most alarms compatible... I'm really better with mechanical shite not electrics.

Strathfield Car Radios sell those alarms for like.. $300-350 plus siren $50-100.. are they really no good? Any info is appreciated :)

~hellrazorette

doran pro audio are in stalling the top of the range mongoose for $460 with a built in turbo timer for me on my gtr next week. they also installed a rhino ram in my 1971 capri gt with central locking for $500. if anyone wants an alrm go to doran pro audio and talk to tony he has the best prices around.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
