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.

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"

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
