About a year or two back along the Tuggeranong Parkway i used to see a Landcruiser or something similar towing a trailer, and that was an undercover car. Had seen it on two seperate occassions pulling someone over. I think they are getting a lot more sneaky with what they are using because it's pretty easy to spot the undercover commodores and falcons.

As for the cops flashing their lights to avoid traffic lights etc, i've seen that myself. I'm assuming they have the power to do that if it is for a legitimate reason. Still, give anyone power and there will be the few who abuse it.

a mate of a mate has red and blue lights behind mesh in his front bar...very bright and i reckon if he was driving behind me n flicked em on i would pull over.

which he said is what people do...good for a laugh i guess...but im presuming their are others like it.

you can get in major major trouble if you got busted doing that...

indeed mate. i saw it like 3x in x-mas day. black glossy ute with Led & sirens pulled over a stock 180sx near moosehead.

just beware of this fancy ute with lousy muffler trying to "bait" u.

To add to the undercovers vehicle stock there is often a current mitsubishi silver sedan cruising the Tuggers xpress way from Kambah lights to the city and back.

Is it just undercover cops with nothing better to do than go on speed patrol?

All the serious crims have been arrested!

Im sure there is a silver VE SS ute too. there was a cop car and the VE parked behind the other with only two cops one leaning on the back of the cop car and the other leaning against the front of the VE chatting. have seen that landcruiser. and there was a dark blue landrover when i was working at rolfe a few years back.

Yeah I thought that car looked a bit too suss.

with my car currently off the road getting a 25 conversion we took my mates 300kw sleeper VLT to canberra. sitting at a set of light on northbourne a grey VE omega pulled up, man and woman inside dressed in casual gear. tryin to get me to race them. had a quick look at the dash and saw the velcro pad in the center.. bit too suss for me so i just took off slow.

Then saw the same car, now with some light on the dash pulling over a couple of blinged up, 22inch wearing snot boxes!! I bet a few ppl got in the crap from not being carefull enough!

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
