Hi guys,

I live in Sydney and was wondering if there are any other vehicle tracking services out there? I was a quiktrak customer until they ceased trading and I still have the quiktrak system in my car...can I possibly reuse this technology with another provider or should I simply remove the hardware?

What is the latest on quiktrak?

I was hoping with today's 4g and app technology that there are more options than over 5yrs ago :)

The ORIGINAL one did not. The last versions DID.

How old was yours ? If pre 2008 then it was spread spectrum radio. If later (after I lost $65k in contracts) then they were sim based.

Mine was 2004ish.

I do remember seeing the unit and it was a little thin black box with an aerial hanging off it, kinda looked like a funnny walkie talkie hence I'd say it was spectrum radio.

We're u a founder / shareholder of quiktrak? (Lost 65k)

I did a Google search but couldn't find much other than u being a distributor. There is obviously a gap in the marketplace for this solution as I don't really hear of ppl using these tracking devices anymore...why is that?

It's on this forum.

I was selling their product from 2002-2009. Was successful with it until it cost me a council contract with 10 ferries in planning to be equipped with a modified version of that system.

Self monitored systems took over in reality. $5 SIM card and a cell phone dapple of yanking your car up on a map.

Fleets use a variant system but the idea is the same. GPS location and VMS at the base.

Self monitoring systems sounds interesting, can u recommend a particular vendor?

Hi Marko, did you find anything.

I have been looking for something as I am getting paranoid about spending a Shat load $s on mods and the insurance not covering the costs.

I want one that is wired in and I only want it if the car gets stolen and I can see where it is and report it.

They all seem to come with too much info, not wired in, fleet or base monitored systems

But I will keep searching :)

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
