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 :)

      So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
