Spotted on Birkdale Road, Birkdale

REGO: 467-ITO

CAR: Silver VZ commodore

Unmarked sedan, cop chaser rims.

2 smallish red/blue rectangular lights on the rear parcel shelf and also on the front dash. Had nabbed themselves a victim...not a skyline though.

damn WA cops are slow about undercover cop cars and unmarked cars

we dont have half as many undercover cars - and most of them are vys2 or vz commo's with pursuit rims or ba/bf falcons

they finally have got some bf xr6turbs as highway patrol cars - cause the previous patrol cars were the normal commo's with all nice stickers and lights no v8's at all

they also are introducing performance cars as undercover ones - particularly a orange wrx with rims, zorst, and one or two v8 commo/fords

good idea for the list tho guys

spotted 688INX silver commodore pulling out of the police depot at mt gravatt last night. two cops sitting snugly inside. also saw a yellow mazda 6 but didnt get the plates

brand new 380 pulled up outside my work with two uniformed cops inside it. rego 346JJP. i'm actually pretty sure that this one was chasing myself and a friend the other night for drifting. by accident of course....... :D

White Holden commo VY SS, 539 D**, not sure on number plate, But i know it had 5 spoke 18" alloys. hard to catch the number plate, pulled someone over giving sharing the christmas spirit in Mt gravatt. logan road. tonight.

shit! i was at the mt gravatt pub that night. good thing i didnt drive :( dont drink and drive kids, its very very bad m'kay

Are you trying to tell me when I own a performance car I will suddenly change my view and not care about people being dicks on the road? If you are then you are sadly mistaken - if anything I'll care even more because then the idiocy of others will effect me :nyaanyaa:

It is easy to drive in a pleasent way (bitta gas) without breaking the law.

i thought you were talking bout me troy :nyaanyaa: damn, wondering what the hell i'd done. and it sorta fit in coz my car is gone.

question to the other michael. why would you post this in a topic regarding cop cars :laugh: its just a reference thread so we know who to look out for not who's been driving like an idiot lately. plus your comment doesnt really fit in with the fact i'd been drinking. are you saying its ok to drink drive as long as your behaved wtf?!?! are you smoking something that you shouldnt be :laugh: so its ok to drink and drive but speeding is bad. actually have a look at what you said.

also, why the hell are you on skylines australia if you dont own a jap import in the first place? are you just here to harass people? your not making a lot of sense :w00t:

What are you on about the drinking?

I havn't read this entire thread, I think drink drivers need compulsary 30 day jail periods for the first time offenders.

Why am I on here? Doing research for when I get a stagea - why else?

IanB: I agree. If you buy a fast car you will get a certain amount of police harrassment and everyone knows it when you buy one. All you can do is drive safely to minimise it.

OK some people need to take a pill lol. Please keep it on-topic guys.

If you arn't being a dick you won't get pulled over anyway, and being responsible import owners I make the assumption you all drive responsibly so would have no problems anyway.

Although you are right to an extent, many people are still pulled over and hassled for no other reason than the car they drive. Unfortunately there are enough tards driving performance cars for the Police to bunch us in with them, regardless of how sensible we may be. Ever been pulled over for a "random" breath test, and noticed the cops checking out your whole car then asking for a casual look under the bonnet? I can assure you that many have, including myself (they found nothing but wasted 30 mins of my time), even if you've never had a problem yourself. FYI I rarely drink and have a (nearly) clean driving history.

Also, I think what Mushroom meant is that if you don't drive a performance car, you may not understand the inaccuracy of the "if you behave you're safe" statement. I don't know whether you do or you don't but that's how I interpreted Troy's post, you obviously have interpreted it differently. I also notice in another thread you mention you've had your license for 6 months - while this doesn't mean anything in itself, I suspect a bit of time on the road in a performance car will be an eye opener.

This thread is purely here to keep us informed about those keeping an eye on us, and personally I don't see why it might be a problem.

I phrased it wrong - you'll still get hassled just minimising it.

I do think the thread is a good idea in some ways - the amount of times I've had undercovers tailgating me trying to get me to speed is amazing. It'd be nice to have a complete list.

Everyone should go to their local cop shops and write down all the plates of the undercovers in there, lol.

Ommmm

I spotted a fully marked Commodore S pack ute with a canopy...

What made me look twice is that it had full prestage plates...

"SRRS" or "RSSR" some thing like that... What Tha...

I mean why did $3000 worth of tax payers dollars get spent on those plates???

<<<END RANT>>>

Sorry just off topic, I haven't been pulled over yet but when it happens do I have to comply with the "look under the bonnet" thing. Really theres not much to see....... FMI, pod, BOV you know the basic stuff... :/

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
