I was wondering what the deal was with the signal. I heard it still works if disconnected from the battery (for long enough for Quiktrak to call and ask what you want to do).

I got quoted $2206 for install + 1st year from Quiktrak's web site, where did you get that $1500 figure from?

I use a auto micro alarm and a separate 3 point immobilser which cost all up $600, it has turbo timer run down, window closers, remote central locking, anti jacking protection and has a total of 4 points immobilised, and if they beat 1 system they have to beat the other, Im sure if ppl are interested I can talk to the guy to get them done at a group buy price, my brother is going to get his 32 done there and the guy knows his stuff. Also he can hook up a mobile phone to the system and if your alarm goes off you punch in a code, and you can set off internal piezos, and switch your cutout points on and off just to make it harder, also the great thing about it is if you get car jacked you give them the car, let them drive out of harms way, dial your car up and shut it down, then you know where the car is and your safe as well...best of both worlds and I think for that system it was an extra $500 or something. anyway i just thought I would share that with you all..good luck.

Hmm, wish i knew about the $1500 Quiktrak installation before i got my alarm...but im happy with it anyway

I heard Brant are gonna have a Tracking alarm aswell that will apparently be a lot better than Quiktrak.

Prank, u think NEMESIS would be upgredable to the Brant Tracking system??

Hey,

I posted this in another thread, but just to reply to you..

Brant's tracking is called Nemesis 2 and is just 1 + tracking.

I think the price they quoted me was $2650 (including 1st year) and $320 every year after. A lot more than Quiktrak...

You said you heard it was better, in what way? Right now I can't justify $850 extra for a very similar system.

I got a friend working at Prosperion in North Sydney, and they install a lot of the Brant's alarms in the new WRX's and a lot of the S15's and stuff...

and he told me it was just better coverage, better wiring, and its got the 6 point immobiliser instead of the 3-point....ummm, he said a lot of other stuff...but i forget.

But like URMINE said, apparently Quiktrak can be stuffed up by wrapping the box up in al foil...apparently also, that doesnt stuff up the new Nemesis tracking system..

dont quote me on anything i just wrote, i got no paperwork to proove that its right....but it makes sense.

I just installed Nemesis 1 for $990...and that was the normal price, he couldnt do anything for me....so unfortunately no.

thats why i asked if NEMESIS 1 could be upgraded to 2...

but then again i have about 3 friends with Quiktrak in their cars and theyve had no problems whatsoever...so maybe youre right, that extra money for NEMESIS 2 might not be justified...

Any idea how that matches up towards the Nemesis mate? (it's half the price!)

They make a point about the random coding, black wires and wheel/tow away protection which wasn't mentioned on the Brant site..

no idea sorry, but all i know is it would be difficult to steal and can be very sensitive if you want it to be, the guy makes alot of this stuff himself and is a very good installer and in my oppinion worth a look, especially since you cant set your alarm on a brant while the turbo timer is running which I find quite handy.

The boomerang system sounds alright, but I'd pay a premium for 24/7 monitoring and THEM contacting the cops/etc.

I have EXACTLY the same worry about Quiktrak - their alarm doesn't sound too crash hot, but the tracking is good.

And with Brant - it's $2650 for the Nemesis 2 (Nemesis 1 + tracking) which includes the 1st years monitoring.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
