Ok. Firstly before i start let me just say i'm new to ranting so if its not good just bare with me. This is in regards to the fact that now NSW police are now supposedly driving undercover Subaru WRX's, Ford Falcons, etc, with P plates on. As far as i was aware, to drive a police vehicle you need to be on your full lisence (can someone clarify this for me?) And also the fact that if a full lisenced driver, accidentally leaves p plates on their vehicle (child is on p plates or something) and the cops see this, they are pulled over and fined! A bit hypocritical don't you think?

And by using p plates to try and get "hoons" (i think they're referring to us in that ) to slip up, isn't that some form of entrapment? Surely what they're doing can't be legal?

If anyone wants to join in on my rant please you are more than welcome to.

And i apologise if this is a repost.

Thanks for listening

Nick

I'd say its some form of entrapment if the accused person of an incident was encouraged or somehow tempted to drive negligently by an officer in a vehicle with p plates on or undercover in a car trying to entice you into driving illegally.

If it were me i would be straight on the phone to my solicitor to ask what my rights were thats for sure.

But ill be honest i havent seen any undercover cop cars with p plates, in my area they are all driving F6 Typhoons & they are very EASY to spot!

thats my 2c.

they have a typhoon in sydney with "000 Race Team" sticker across rear window. Looks like a rip off of the "888 race team" I think its very wrong for a govt. dept. to have such a thing on a tax payer funded vehicle.

1.) tax payers money is not used to fund the "fancy" cars for the cops like the Lotus Exige or Typhoon or XR5 etc.

The manufacturer LOANS them to the cops to get publicity.

Your tax money goes on their wages, doll bludging bogans and council workers that sit on a tractor mowing a field.

2.) Is there an article on SMH.com.au or anything about it?

when was it printed that they "might" be using P Plates to lure street racers?

Witnessed it on Cleveland St Chippendale (Sydney) a few months ago. Blue BA Falcon with white GT stripes and red P plates. Theres a thread in the NSW section swomewhere.

Also, with the restrictions on P plate drivers wouldnt a P plate on a brand new perfomance vechile make them stand out?

I got no problem with cops cracking down on the real idiots but surely theres a better way.

The vehicles are leased ya bonehead, and photo's of police proudly standing next to vehicles was shown in last weeks paper. It was warning people they were out in these vehicles and to think twice before you act.

Also council rates pay for council services...not taxes...if you owned a house you would be aware of this.

here's a link for the story...better photo's were in paper with police posing with their "hoon" patrol cars

well the best way is to fight them back with just having a camera handy to tape it while they trying to rev you up and put it on youtube :D iv seen a wrx in perth that went mental at the roundaboubue nearly losing it and they were undercovers tryina rev me up !! i just wish i had the cam at the time.. but ya do to them what they do to us and they will learn not to f**k around.

they arent ment to rev ppl up they just ment to blend and spot speeders not intrap ppl how ever there is no law against intrapment here even tho they shouldnt technicaly be doing it.. so watch out.

This issue seriously pisses me off... I'm not one to drive like an idiot, but I get the looks anyway...

My induction noise (standard box) is louder then any other car I have heard (except the gas supra)...

It's cheap and it's trickery... I don't appreciate it at all being on my Ps still... Not to mention if they are going around egging people on, that gives us an even worse name, when it is the cops themselves doing it!

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
