Hey all,

Heard wisperings that the cops have a black unmarked SS ute going around.

I can back this up now with fact, I saw it last night out the front of moose heads in civic. Its a stock standard looking SS with LED lights mounted in the front grill, side rear windows above each other, rear and on a silver light bar mounted in the back. lights are facing towards the rear so you wont see from front on.

thought it should be known.... didnt get a number plate though..... should have...

yeah seen this around the RS liberty was fake and has been impounded i had that ute trying to race me i played along as soon as the lights went green i took off so slow and he looked like the idiot then the next lights we went through he turned on his lights to go trough the red and then turned them off as soon as he went through and continued cruising

i was told by a customer the other day, the black ssv ute sometimes has p-plates on it. the coppers got a sanction thru the courts to display p-plates on (atleast) the black ute.

there's also a dark blue '05 lancer sedan with mags that's an undercover car

D.

Aye dodgy bastards i see this all the time at night if the street looks relatively empty and there are red lights the cop car switches on its redblue lights then passes the red light and switches it off again.

they have a beat up old URVAN van, theyve got a shitbox condition VL commy

thats not true both these cars are hoax's

the vl pulled up behind me one night as i took off it turned the disco lights on as i was going down adelade av heading towards woden i went 10 k under the limit and acknoldged them and proceeded to the woden station

as i pulled in out the front of the station the turned the lights off and drove straight ahead.

I was on my way to belco this arvo, and I saw a couple of formals were on, so I had a look at all the cars and I noticed the Black SS cop ute doing the rounds. So anyway there was a old toyota crown with hydrolic suspension which he saw, and then he waited for ages and just as he was about to leave, the flashing blues come on and the crown got majorly defected.

I should mention that he was on 3 wheels doing a u turn, looked awesome though.

hehee, i know the guy too. it was the first formal that he went to. after he got the defect he just went home and jumped in his Chaser and went back. damn people with money :D

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
