Ok. Firstly before i start let me just say i'm new to ranting so if its not good just bare with me. This is in regards to the fact that now NSW police are now supposedly driving undercover Subaru WRX's, Ford Falcons, etc, with P plates on. As far as i was aware, to drive a police vehicle you need to be on your full lisence (can someone clarify this for me?) And also the fact that if a full lisenced driver, accidentally leaves p plates on their vehicle (child is on p plates or something) and the cops see this, they are pulled over and fined! A bit hypocritical don't you think?

And by using p plates to try and get "hoons" (i think they're referring to us in that ) to slip up, isn't that some form of entrapment? Surely what they're doing can't be legal?

If anyone wants to join in on my rant please you are more than welcome to.

And i apologise if this is a repost.

Thanks for listening

Nick

I'd say its some form of entrapment if the accused person of an incident was encouraged or somehow tempted to drive negligently by an officer in a vehicle with p plates on or undercover in a car trying to entice you into driving illegally.

If it were me i would be straight on the phone to my solicitor to ask what my rights were thats for sure.

But ill be honest i havent seen any undercover cop cars with p plates, in my area they are all driving F6 Typhoons & they are very EASY to spot!

thats my 2c.

they have a typhoon in sydney with "000 Race Team" sticker across rear window. Looks like a rip off of the "888 race team" I think its very wrong for a govt. dept. to have such a thing on a tax payer funded vehicle.

1.) tax payers money is not used to fund the "fancy" cars for the cops like the Lotus Exige or Typhoon or XR5 etc.

The manufacturer LOANS them to the cops to get publicity.

Your tax money goes on their wages, doll bludging bogans and council workers that sit on a tractor mowing a field.

2.) Is there an article on SMH.com.au or anything about it?

when was it printed that they "might" be using P Plates to lure street racers?

Witnessed it on Cleveland St Chippendale (Sydney) a few months ago. Blue BA Falcon with white GT stripes and red P plates. Theres a thread in the NSW section swomewhere.

Also, with the restrictions on P plate drivers wouldnt a P plate on a brand new perfomance vechile make them stand out?

I got no problem with cops cracking down on the real idiots but surely theres a better way.

The vehicles are leased ya bonehead, and photo's of police proudly standing next to vehicles was shown in last weeks paper. It was warning people they were out in these vehicles and to think twice before you act.

Also council rates pay for council services...not taxes...if you owned a house you would be aware of this.

here's a link for the story...better photo's were in paper with police posing with their "hoon" patrol cars

well the best way is to fight them back with just having a camera handy to tape it while they trying to rev you up and put it on youtube :D iv seen a wrx in perth that went mental at the roundaboubue nearly losing it and they were undercovers tryina rev me up !! i just wish i had the cam at the time.. but ya do to them what they do to us and they will learn not to f**k around.

they arent ment to rev ppl up they just ment to blend and spot speeders not intrap ppl how ever there is no law against intrapment here even tho they shouldnt technicaly be doing it.. so watch out.

This issue seriously pisses me off... I'm not one to drive like an idiot, but I get the looks anyway...

My induction noise (standard box) is louder then any other car I have heard (except the gas supra)...

It's cheap and it's trickery... I don't appreciate it at all being on my Ps still... Not to mention if they are going around egging people on, that gives us an even worse name, when it is the cops themselves doing it!

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
