Hey everyone, I thaught i'd start this topic after what i saw this morning on my way to work. There was a dude pulled over (not an import or anything just a random car) by a new mitsubishi magna i think the 380 or something.. brand new and those little lights on top where the rear view mirror is were going off aswell. Its pretty funny seeing one of those types of cars pulling people over but at the same time you think to yourself oh shit what else do the cops drive these days?

The weirdest car i've seen them in was a bug eyed WRX, Black and completely standard... pulled another wrx over who probably tried racing them LOL

So yea I was just wondering if anyone else has seen any of the other cars they drive around in.... I suppose not only just in VIC but all over Aus if anyone has seen them in unusual vehicles...

But i suppose you wouldn't really worrie about it if you had nothing to hide... true? :P

EDIT: Looks like this topic has turned out to be a COP CAR IN GENERAL topic... feel free to add any pictures of cop cars you've seen around or that exist around the world :)

There's nothing unusual about the police using Aussie built cars, like 380s - I'm pretty sure they have to.

I think there's a 300C going around at the moment, but it's one of those overdone highway-patrol style ones - where you'd be pretty embarassed if you didn't see it (attempting to) hide on a freeway.

Yea its pretty hard to miss them sometimes... those cars on the side of the roads are they actually appart of a differnt group? like they wont chase you if your speeding just give you a fine in the mail i think... I've seen a subaru forester aswell unmarked in the city pulled someone over...

So the 300C's are starting to go around aswell... hmmmm i'll keep an eye out for em

theres a heap of different cars they use... Monaros... Magnas... Evos... Rexes... Rodeos... Undisclosed large 4WD (cant remember which make it was)... and heap of others.

i remember someone telling me they had a 34 GTR and Supra too.

Ive only ever seen em in the usuals... WRX... Falcons... Rodeos... 4WDs... Only seen them in a Yellow Monaro once... and the usual SSs and so on.

Holy shit i'd love to see thier 34 GTR lol I know in Japan they run around in their GTRs

I've got pics of the 300c from my window at work. Will post them up later.

Sweet as i'd love to see what it looks like.... check this one out from.. i have no idea but you'd have a good chance of getting away from them :P

saw a lime green XR6T i think it was yest in the city on lonsdale street.. Unmarked and u wouldn't think they would have something unmarked that stood out that much...

Yea thats very true... you just wouldn't pick em at all thats the funny thing... usually you can see in their back window if there's lights sitting there but you can't see anything from the front. A friend of mine who had a 180sx ran a VY SS only to find at the next set of traffic lights he was a cop LOL dickhead...

Prahran TMU have a Forester XT

Remember too, if you see a Hyundai Santa Fe parked on the side of the road, it's a speed camera - as no one else would ever buy one.

LOL.. i've seen them in some weird ass cars on the side of the road, older commodores station wagons and rav 4's n shit... i heard someone got done by the cameras twice on the side of the road.. the same one mind you, then parked their car around the corner from the camera car, took off the number plate on the back of it and put it on the back of their own car LOL then drove through the camera over and over again.. if its true its a really good way to say "stick this up your asses"

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
