easy way to pick them is look in the mouth of the front bar where the cooler sits.. the siren is there

the other way to pick out undercover cops is too look at the antenna, if its a tall one with a thick base (usually thick black rubber at the base) then watch yourself :D

Signs its undercover cop car:

Plates are Normal issue - I.E Not a white,blue,purple, custom yellow, black etc.

Windows will have squares in them for lights ussually mounted top left and right corners and on dash front centre and rear centre top!

If stock car will have NO hub covers

Will have stock alloys if its a GT-P or any up-market performance car

Will floor it off the lights to waste petrol unless your infront.

Plates will now often have LPG sign as many cars are now going environmently friendly and also cheaper.

If non of these items are on the car (barring the lights) it is a impounded vehicle. Ussally only sporting some features if any, Almost always will have Blue/red lights in the blinkers.

Ussually two people will be in the car - two people are better than one at over powering a person if they get violent!

Although I've never been able to pick a cop car via its ariel they often do have a ariel front of the left hand side comming out of the bonnet gap, rear comming out of the boot gap (left hand side) or in stock position on the middle rear radio ariel situated directly centred on the rear window or above.

Hope this helps some people from being booked, if it doesnt then you deserve it.

Remember impounded and retrieved cars are virtually un detectable.

Oh and in NSW the undercover car of choice is ussually a silver GT-P ford because of its power, common-ness and hoon like apearence.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
