But I cheated. My dad is a surveillance cop so he has a new car for wwork every few months. hehe.

He doesnt pull anyone over or do any kind of traffic work. in fact he hates them. Taught me the term 'concrete dickheads' from when i was about 5 years old

I work near the main police officer and there is heaps of cars that are police cars but 90% of them are not TMU or anything like that

and it sounds like some people are listing speed cameras there not police vehicles there sub contractors

One of these.

One of these.

And a KE70

I think they pulled the last two from lockups or something.

Also heard of unmarked FPVs and HSVs trying to gee up drivers.

now that one is a shocker!

i had no idea it was anything other then a new como with 3 rear antennas and a territory

Mate the Territorys are everywhere lol.

There was actually one time on the M1 freeway from north heading to SE suburbs. A policeman was taking speeds of drivers right at the merging lanes but on the zebra zone. Found that quite odd.

I agree they're everywhere. But it was the only turbo territory that I've seen so far.

I have seen a totally unmarked, undercover police Hiace van.

Was filling up at a petrol station, on one of my country runs, saw a policeman walk out of the shop. Thought to myself; "i didn't notice a cop car around", he then jumped into a plain white Hiace van. It even had the small blue and red lights in the grill.

Quite often see the VW Transporter van around Williamstown (it seems to live at the local station) Its a Transporter 4Motion, whatever the kick arse engine they can get type.

It's white, with black roof rack, but looks to clean and undamaged to be a tradies van

Lights are behind one of the blacked out rear windows.

I only know it's a cop van as I saw it going down the freeway qith the lights on.

Saw a Soccer Mums SUV pulled over on the Calder Fwy just outside Kyneton at the start of summer with the bonnet up, baby on board sign on the back window and hazards on. Like the lovely person I am (although running late for work) I stopped, expecting some mum and bub had over heated on the way to Melbourne....only to find it was Mr Plod (I realised this as I got out of the car and noticed the HUGE camera plate over the bull bar)

I felt as if my good nature had abused...and they wonder why people don't stop to help others

That may have been a forensics van.

The cops used to do that around the Yarra Valley, park a beater that they had gotten from the wreckers at the side of the road on a jack with a wheel off, making it look like a breakdown, until you went past and saw the camera. They stopped doing it after the local rag exposed it and proved that it was against the rules at the time.

saw a light blue XR6T pulling burnouts and drag racing people. got about 5 minutes down the road to see him pull over a datto. it had flashing lights inside the rear door handles as well as behind the mesh on the front bar.

these people egg them on n then pull them over?

A friends mum does that for a living (being a sub contractor) she uses a beaten up late 80's land cruiser that barely goes......and she gets paid a mint for doing it

    • 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 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
