Just had a quick scan through this thread, you guys have some pretty whacky undercover cop cars. In vic all I ever see is the usual, latest model commodore (99.9% sedans, seen 1 ute) and the latest model fords, so I pretty much know what to look out for. The Golf and Aurions, RX-8.... wow borderline ridiculous lol

You would think that they have something better to spend the money on wouldn't you...

Well there is a theory that if they all rode around in BMWs and Lexuses then they'd be doing us a favour as the gov't would get back more money at auction than on Fords/Holdens that depreciate more.

Could've been off duty? I've seen that a few times (usually a uniformed dude in something older that is in no way an official police car) - unless they had all the screens/lights and stuff in it I suppose?!?

probably been said but grey / chrome trimmed golf.. always hanging out around the centenary hwy.. nearly got me the other night..

yeh ive seen this sly dog - there is also a blue one running around in the kenmore area

Got my first pull over in the Skyline today!

Red RX8, 933-L** (couldn't get it all from the angle of my mirrors). I've seen this car getting around the Aspley/Albany Creek area a bit. So keep an eye out for red RX8s if you're from this area.

does anyone have proof that radar detectors are illegal in qld? just wondering.just reading one of my mags and it has some place in nz selling them, for $1000, but theres someplace in australia that sells them for $300.

also scanners, are we not allowed to have scanners that detect police freqs? because when they see my two way they ask all the bloody time. I use a uhf and a company band for work, so I was thinking of getting a scanner for work, as well as crusing. reason for work is that the truck companies are always coming into our yard, and I want to hear what they are talking about ;)

i can definately say that radar detectors in qld are banned as i went to court this year for it, as soon as you drive past them there scanner picks it up, plus its hard to get a good one as they pick up any radar signal like automatic doors at shops or servos, your eyes are the best tool

on the scanners, it's legal to have one that picks up analogue police but there's not that much that goes on there cos the good stuff is all digital. I've got one in my ute and u hear some things like licence checks and general operations shit but the chances of hearing where speed traps/cops are operating is pretty low.

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
