Does anyone else see the connection with this bright Police idea and... wait for it....

the FAST AND THE FURIOUS!

seriously guys, be careful of and NSW police officers with the names Brian Earl Spilner who ask to race for slips and possibly to take your respect. Word is they have two bottles of Nos (the big ones) and direct port nitrous injection.

have a look on the new fords.. they dont have arials do they? but the under covers have 2 on the boot.. also look for BIG mesh screens on the back window.. once this vz ss pulled me up and had winnie the pooh ones up.. real cop like.

if your para enough, you will spot a cop from a mile or 2 away.. like me :P

You dont live near mitcham by any chance do you?

Saw one getting around that area with a winnie the poo shade, most cops just have a black one in the back window to cover the lights on the parcel shelf.

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 :blink:

haha i've heard this rumour many times over. white men can't jump, cops can't drive :blink:

ive also seen some cop cars running motec system exhausts :blink:

they have so much torque, the chassis twists coming off the line...

thats not torque, thats a shit build...

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

it was also due to the style of seat the wrx used, and the police's belt they wear with all thier gadgets

also a bout 2 years ago i saw a 1999 falcon ute with chrome roll bars and aftermarket wheels pulling someone over, think it was thomastown area (vic) ,,..... very sneaky i thought, using a ute for starters, and it being 6 years old at the time!

a few ways to tell a cop car is

-small rectangular box mounted on passenger side dash

-small light box mounted on rear parcel shelf on drivers side

-sunshades put on rear window to hide light box on parcel shelf

-abnormal amount of Arials

-undercover cop cars do not have plastic dealer advertising around numberplates

-dark tint

-usually in uniform also, but have known to also wear plain clothes

list goes on im sure people can add to it

Where did you pull those from ant?

Secret.....only joking the magic world of email :(

...and Jar.....that is not always the case.....to my knowledge in very few cases a car company will donate the car for the police to use but more often than not the police lease them and hence we are paying for it.

We had a cop WRX in our small town a few years back. It didnt last long thanks to teh po-po stacking it into a drain on a random dirt road way out of town!!!! :ermm: The actual report was that he was chasing a hoon.... :P

haha, same in CBR about 10 years ago. One WRX into a tree, another through a brick wall, and a Volvo was crashed as well... all "while pursuing suspects..."

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

I could be wrong... ...but for example... ...if you're 20 and a cop and driving a marked car... ...you're still meant to show P plates...

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
