Yeah agreed in general... never had an issue with them when I had my 32. They seem to update vehickes pretty often. They have that blue xr as mentioned with the RBT plates, and a smattering of other multi coloured cars. As someone else said... just slow down when you see a sus looking XR with a few too many aerials!

Yeah and watch out for the red falcon with the child meshed rear windows BAI-14T?? Not sure on the last 3 digits but think thats it cause I remember thinking it looked like "BAIT" ....lol

Also there is now a silver/grey wrx with a big wing and an aftermarket exhaust.. SHAX saw a dude getting done by it last week and I spotted it last night...

got about 3 or 4 of them in my area. Even have a ute with flame pattern mirror tints i think (according to my old boss). But i do know of them 3 or 4 falcons with GT stripes. Then you have your normal unmarked cars, including one or two AWD magna's (but they were a few years ago now).

Every time I see an unmarked police car exceeding the speed limit, I ring the local cops and dob them in. I decline to leave my name (of course). Once a week I ring talk back radio and complain, sometimes they let me read out the rego numbers. If they want to be unmarked, then they have to obey the law just like everyone else. If we all do the same then they will have to take them off the roads, they are dangerous and should not be allowed.

:( cheers :(

hahaha stickin it to the man

yep, the Gordon white one with blue stripes also visits Hornsby...oh, and the Old Pac! ;)

There is a blue xr6 turbo un marked with red stripes, Tuggerah/Lisarow location

Tuggerah Lakes did have a Blue Unmarked Turbo which has since been replaced by a White XR8 with Grey Stripes. Love the potato sack to cover the lights lol

There is a silver with orange GT striped BA XR8 patroling Campbelltown.

Doubt its a BA XR8..More like a BF..They recalled all the BA XR8 Falcons a few months ago. I remember reading about it. Something about the car stalling when doing u turns so it was deemed unsafe and they all got grounded.

Cheers

I saw a ford terrotory on the m5 pulling someone over the other day. unsure if it had turbo or whatever they have. but it was white, and totally unmarked.

this was spotted around the toll booths

just noticed

i have personaly worked on an unmarked territory turbo chase car.

It seems like there not actually doin any good any more... its more like a business. they have a budget to pay for all thewse brand new cars only way there gona pay for em is if they giv out fines.. i got pulled over once in stead of giving me a defect notice he gave me a fine , which i thought was very weird...

Has any1 ever seen a Grey xr8 driving around bass hill area on his back window ehs got 000 Racing ... This has to b one of d worst cops ive eva seen he will pull over any1 to make a quik buck...

i think we should all agree one week no1 takes out there cars then well c wat he il o.. they will jhave nothing to do

lol:)

silver xr6 in the tweed area tried to suck me in a few days ago, luckily i had seen him previously with some poor sucker pulled over, the dickhead was trying his hardest to get me interested....on throttle off throttle....fun job.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
