It would be good if when this happens... the "revving their cars to get a reaction from you" bit, that we record them on camera phone.. then post these on Youtube.. that way there would be proof of such behavior which in most cases is unwarranted and directed solely for the purpose of revenue. Not all cops are bad, but then you get the rookies with the hero attitude that make the whole force look like.. well... cops. There are a lot of newbies out there since the recruiting boost and most of these people are not properly trained or at least not trained in the practice of common sense so it's on each and everyone of us to make sure we don't make their day.

be safe and stay legal.

My brother whos in brisbane said as he was going down the motor way a few days ago,

two cops one on the outside lane and one in the break down lane come zooming past him, no lights on etc. and they continued to tailgate eachother!

wish the fat bastard got it on video tho!

There is a blue one with white stripes that frequents the Northern Beaches - from what I've heard they "race" everyone on the road to get a catch.

and the cops and media wonder why the police are not rspected when they do sneaky shit like this

there's heaps around. i hit the brakes whenever i see a holden or ford even if im under the speed limit.. lol

everyone should boycott fords and holdens so whenever u see a ford and holden u know it's a cock cop ;D

Well since the cops always get the latest models, only need to be weary of those !!

No chance you would get pulled over by a VT/VX commo or an AU ford

If you find yourself in the Syd CBD, be careful because on Parra Rd there are 2 thats always there, both XR8s, both white, but one has the 2 bluestripes and the other has 2 orange stripes.

But they run everyone they can to bait them! Smart thinking on there behalf. You dumb enough to get done, then your deservant of the fine!

xr8 blue car wif white stripes cruising on sunnyholt rd.

he had hes window down n had hes uniform showing

maybe he's just a cop who finished his shift and personally owns the car? did you see any antennas? interested as i'm from around the area.

Gordon local area command have some "standard cars" and so does City Central

Such as echo's, avalons, 380's, a rav 4 so look out! ad if those two stations have them, Im sure others would also

Oh, and my source is good :P

In Campbelltown we have a grey xr8 with orange stripes.

He pulled me over when i was looking for parking in a parking lot. Must have been a real slow day and really trying to get people.

hehe there is quite a few more under cover cars than that falcon mate! I've seen atleast 4 different undercover ford/holdens in ctown area.

  • 2 weeks later...

Spotted this outside of work today: Holden SV6

As you move towards the front...

You will see it is undercover.. Parked illegally in a no standing spot. :laugh:

D900-0064e.jpg

Check the blue old school siren thingy behind the window. It's the siren, it was connected to the ciggy lighter. :( Old school! No radios on the dash or anything. But as you can see rear has extra antenna.

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.

:D cheers :D

Whats the point in calling in? How do you know that they're not going to a job? Do you have a scanner in your car? What is the point in going the same speed as traffic when cars ahead could be stolen or committing offences?

As for those that brake test for tailgaters, you're just as stupid as the tailgater. You would be the bigger contributor to a collision if your intention was to get them off your back. It's a pathetic attitude to have on the road epically with the consequences that can happen.

Too many petrol fumes...

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
