got suggestions, terry? gathering info for when i get my own car

The viper / cliford/ pyrhon system but it costs money yearly- not optimal but works

Mongoose

Think autopage has one

Many mainstream brands are available

eBay- metal case with external gsm and sat antenna's , finned case is better due to heat here

But work perfectly fine if they use 3 band spectrums , use a full size prepaid sim

One of the thing to watch is heat , the plastic cases warp and melt , most are rated about 50-60c and your car exceeds that easy in summer sun

Needs external antennas for better cover in fringe areas or black spot cbd areas

the ability to use your smart phone/ google maps pc etc to track, geofence , shut down the car remotely of course you wouldn't do that unless the car is stopped or moving slow, instant loss of power steering could be fatal and we all no crims have more rights then victims?

If the car is driven By others geofence and speed alerts via sms or email with coordinates

a backup battery that lasts at least 12 hrs

A alloy or steel case that is screwed together

Not snapped together !!

Installed by someone who knows how to integrate and hide it like a factory install

If you can find it in 15 min or less its not installed properly behind the radio doesn't cut it

At the point a thief rips the car apart its the last line of hope of finding it in most cases so the longer it takes to find the better , skylines have some great secure hiding places ;-) as long as they cant trace the loom back

If you use prepaid sims make sure you have credit , and its not expired lol you know so many people still run around with no credit on cells phones so tracker is going to be worse lol

Test the tracker monthly !!!

Cost wise

Viper system i think is about 300 ish plus install and yearly fees

Others about 150-300 plus install

Plus sim card charges for a year , only need sms unless you buy a tracker with 3g camera function added on to stream the drivers face to your device or cloud lol

Thanks Troy,

The guy is a biased against Viper, but I'll tell him to research Mongoose/Autopage!

Yeah i agree I like DEI products( viper etc ) but they shot themselve in the foot by charging yearly fees to monitor the car

in the usa market its more or less "lojack" and " onstar" and DEI aftermarket , all pay services at one point

In oz we like to DIY monitor of the car unless its a company fleet car or truck

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
