Id rather just have to replace the window after a break in then find my car missing

Thats for sure . By the way if you get one of them dont lock it in 5th ( they can drive in 5th no worries ) , lock it in reverse .

Dont mean to be rude guys. But the guys that are in Sydney and have a tracking system give your tracking company a call as my tracker doesnt work outside the metro area. As soon as you get on the F3 just after Hornsby there is no more signal until you get to Newcastle. And heading South I think Wollongong is the limit as well. I only know this as I sold a car with Quiktrak to a guy that lives in Terrigal and he rang them and they told him it was useless to him as there is no coverage there.

Thats quiktrak , they don't have any cover outside sydney at all and its old technology .

The latest trackers use gps to track ( as long as its above ground you can track it ) and gsm to communicate .

With the gps tracker you dont have to pay annual fee you can track your own for the cost of a phone call.

That sounds cool. Much better than the old system.

Does somone know of a anti tow device

These trackers have antitow device , as soon as the car moves a few meters it will call you , give you its location , speed and direction its heading.

We have all our fleet at work tracked using the satellite/ gsm system and it is a wonderful piece of gear.

We have a pc with large hard disk space that was included in the package which we are able to "live track" the vehicles when they are on the road to see there position.

If we dont live track the vehicle, as soon as it returns to base it auto downloads its days events through the aerial we have mounted on the roof of the depot.

In relation to systems that dont get coverage everywhere, we originally had this system years ago and as mentioned dont use satellite technology.

They work ( well ours did) on the old analogue/cdma mobile phone towers and triangulated your postion from the nearest 3 towers hence when in remote/rural areas we lost track of the vehicle.

You cant drive it in 3rd gear ? you got to be kidding !

Do you think the thieves will care if they burn your clutch ? They take the car away then cut the lock when they get their grinder going .....

Lock it in reverse and they cant get far ...

these tracking system's seem almost bullet proof how ever i wonder if its worth getting that system when you have full-insurance!!!

Don't forget you buy insurance just in case you don't want to use it though .

If you have a high performance car stolen it will be hard to get insurance again and if you do can you imagine the price !!!

If its stolen and recovered you are going to be out of pocket as well , most people would have high excess for theft .

Some insurance companies will give you lower premium if you have a tracker , mine will not cover me without it .

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
