Hi,

I know I've posted this before but things have probably changed in the past 6 months, I've had a look at this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry3155248

And noticed there are some new GPS tracked alarm systems around.

I'm currently deciding whether to go with QuikTrak, or go down the route of a cheaper GPS alarm system that calls me when somethings wrong.

What GPS tracked alarm systems are around these days with the paging option?

(I'm going quiktrak if the insurance company gives me a decent discount :)).

Also if you know good Melbourne based installers to talk to about the products that would be great.

Regards,

Gareth

you can try a Python or a Viper alarms then add a gps/gsm module to the alarm. The module will sms your phone if the alarm is triggered, you can also track your car via sat. Try the Directed website.

You can also ring Zylux about the Quiktrak they can help you with it.

Mongoose sells a SMS module which hooks up to your mongoose alarm.

Although the price of alarm + mongoose sms module equals the same as quiktrack installation (although you dont pay $300 per year with pager)

it doesnt do a lot though. the DEI one does tracking via website for a few hundred more and you can control things on the car via SMS. I prefer these units over the mongoose one. they are also locally built. the mongoose one isn't.

Interesting, Mongoose is a well known brand but close to quiktrak price is expensive although the savings on the monitoring will be nice :cool:

Autowatch was recommended in another thread, does anyone know much about them?

I haven't heard good things about viper so far...

Do DEI have a website?

I found some results in google but I may be looking at the wrong website.

Hi,

Tried STI electronics but only found a soldering company.

I've found this website:

http://www.directed.com/Products/Security/Default.aspx#

DEI appears to be a group of companies marketed under multiple brand names so I'm confused what people are referring to as "DEI".

Is there a particular model?

EDIT: just read the site and looks like there is one model called the 210C in the different brands, its roughly $100/year to gets the sms's and everything. It looks like all there brands are selling the same product for GPS tracking :)

Or would you recommend the Autowatch 456 + CATE800 solution?

Regards,

Gareth

thats the US based one. its not there. give me an email addy and I'll send you the literature on it. there is a LOT of DEI gear that is made locally that is NOT listed there.

to me the DEI solution is easier to implement but the CATE is more secure. there is a newer version of it due soon that drops a few things off but fucntionality is the same.

this is the STI site for GPS position.

I'll have these products listed on the shop site eventually (when time permits.)

Sorry to drag up this old thread again, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying the Autowatch 446Premium, just wondering with the above comments when the new version of CATE was getting released?

Otherwise I'll stick with the GiSMo / Directed product that does the SMS/send/control functionality, I just need to find good installers in Victoria.

Regards,

Gareth

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.

      The log you did with ECU voltage, can you log the other things too like rpm and oil pressure? Need all that info together to compare easily
