The thing to be careful of with Quicktrak, is that there is only coverage in the sydney metro area. (Due to the triangulation tracking technique they use)

Once you leave the coverage area, Quicktrak can no longer track your vehicle, or disable its engine.

You may be better off with one of the newer GPS tracking systems. Depending on where you live, it may not take a theif very long at all to get out of coverage if he or she is in a hurry in a quickish car.

i used to have quicktrack in my old car, worked well most of the time, was always able to get through, although sometimes they didnt seem to know where my car was (in normal cbd areas) when the alarm went off. this happened quite a few times and they said it was not uncommon. probably depends on area.

GPS trackers don't work underground, they need line of sight to at least 3 GPS satellites.  Quicktrack can.

Very true...the GPS trackers won't work underground at all. Quicktrak has some functionality underground, sometimes.

The thing is though, with either system, you will see the last known position (ie the entry to the underground carpark etc.) Once inside, the car can't dissapear!

However, at least with the GPS systems, you have coverage everywhere on the planet, with quicktrack (or anything esle that uses triangulation), once the car is out of range, it is gone...

You will only be able to communicate with the car (and know the position of) if you have GSM coverage too. Obviously I think the GPS/GSM has a wider coverage than QT.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
