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.

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:

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...

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
