It's not new. Back in the 60s, NSW police used Mini Cooper Ss, and they also used XY GTs dressed as Futura 500s.

A few years ago, I spied a WRX sitting up in a cutting waiting to pounce on unsuspecting speedsters near Lake Nilacootie (near Benalia).

In the 60s? How old are you???

Either way, they got in trouble for the P plates a little while ago... Word gets around about what car is a D as well these days... pretty much anything can be, hell, a cop can pull you over in his daughters car off duty if he borrowed it that day...

It blows :D

lulz

Its not the car that gives you away john law

It’s the the combination of a multitude of screamingly obvious car ariels and two, noticeably out of place, grown men sitting behind the wheel or an 06 WRX... wake up, your not going to catch hoons with these n00b tactics

what you need is undercover cop bikes... ffs do WE have to do all the thinking for you?

Already happeing in vic.

Anyone remember the unmarked WRX's years ago? Or the HSV GTO coupe with HSVGTO plates?

I have also been seeing plenty or Ford Territory's and Mitsi 380's getting about with UC's in them.

Yep...Vic TMU had a fleet of WRX's they used back in the early 2000's. Rumour has it that they stopped using WRX's because they kept stacking them :D

Anyway I wonder what the legality is in regard to them displaying P plates when they are on a full licence?

Best way to geta round it is to put up a homemade p-plate that does not comply to the regulations, then it is officially not considered a proper p-plate.

EG - in Vic P plate must be 150mm X 150mm white 'P' on a red background, so just make the thing 145mm X 145mm (Thats also why NSW p-plates are not valid in Vic or those ghey plate people make up by cutting them into patterns or whatever.)

Rumour has it that they stopped using WRX's because they kept stacking them ;)

LOL there may or may not be a shop in Oakliegh that was putting aftermarket ECU's into marked and unmarked WRX's who had multiple pics up on their shop wall of all the stacked and broken rex's they'd seen... Boys obviously cant handle the wrx POWAH!!1!

I spotted a white XR6 turbo undercover pulling peeps over in Werribee last week.

Whilst cruising with Brisbane SAU late last year, a cop in a black 380 UC was having a field day up Mt Coot-tha as there were a number of seperate import cruises up there. The prick was like a fox in a hen house!

Isnt it an offence to have a p plate on if you're a full licenced driver?

nope. just an offence to not have p plates on if you are a p plater

im pretty sure the cops stopped using the WRXs coz the speedos werent calibrated right...

Pretty sure that's wrong... Someone was saying that having plates on when he isn't a P plater is an offence... though they rarely enforce it...

Edit: In NSW

nope. just an offence to not have p plates on if you are a p plater

I know in Queensland displaying “L” plates and a “P” plate when you’re not on them is a finable offence, which they do enforce here.

I showed my father the story on the link, an he said one of his mates was issued a fine in St Kilda for driving his daughters car with P plates still on

    • 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.
