Hi guys, seen a black VE SS commy ute with the full hard back cover, I think one exhaust either side, darker than legal tint, around clayfield, in January this year. Didn't get the plates though. One of my friends has seen this same one in the area (and further north) multiple times.

Pulled up a friend of mine and got him for bald tyres lol. And hey, fair enough, they were... hahaha.

I found some pics of the GTi police car in question.

Note: It has a FULCRUM sticker on the lower right rear hatch.

Confirmed, they do have a 300c and a Hummer. Soon to be adding a EVO X to that list.

I think it's all a bit silly, they roll around in better cars than us and yet we foot the bill with tax.

RE: Police pursuit speed.

They can reach whatever speed they deem is safe and suitable for the chase.

The VW Jetta/GTi has seen speeds of 235km/hr or more while chasing bikes.

These cars are decked out with cameras. So even if you do get away. They'll be at your door pretty soon.

What I found interesting was the fact they were "allowed" to pursue people at these sorts of speeds without any flashing lights or indication that they are police officers.

Double standards....and yes they do agree. COPS HAVE TOO MUCH POWER. :P

Stay safe everyone.

just a little of topic, but not much, has any one thought of an easy way to flick the plates up, cos if they got your plates ya know the games all over, a nice set of old plates is also good. was thinking about pneumatics using air but there has to be an easier way, maybe jst with cables? any one had a go, you boys sound like the guys who could know.

Also was wondering if nz radars can pick up all the the ausie radar bands. theres some nice stealth radar detectors which hide under the bumper, which could be the go, if not maybe they could be recalibrated for ausie conditions. also final question do the cops just use a cb radio which any one can pick up or does it require a special one or do they also run digital and can that be picked up.

Im not real dodgy :) jst have to even the odds, ive only been done a couple of times, late at night 73 in a 60 zone, pure revenue colecting, very very hard not to think f**k the cops, if there turn up on my door step asking for help i know were id be telling them to get!!!

you're asking all these questions about extreme mods to avoid getting caught...not real dodgy...right :rolleyes:

how about just driving at the speed limit, you won't have a problem then :)

i do agree the coppers have too much power

if you want to even the odds, you'd be better off installing a camera in your car and collecting footage of coppers showing bad driving practices.

red 09 turbo liberty DARK tint with all the gear on the dash NO visible antennas - lights tucked in the front grill . hard to spot unless you see i

go easy Jason... they pick on all makes and models...

your right i went to far

please let me apologize to the terrorists mentioned in my rant "salaam?"

i just wish that i imagined cops doing illegal u turns in peak hour traffic over a traffic island to get to me on no less than several occasions

I got pulled over 15 times in one week when I use to live in mackay.

Iv been living in on the Gold Coast for 6 months now and havent been pulled over once! except for RBT set up on the side of the road but thats an exception.

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
