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

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"

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
