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.

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 .

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
