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.

Proof of bolded statement please

yeah i've seen that driving round...

i think its wrong too...they're driving 50k cars...on our money...how does that work?

and GTST...no i dont have proof. this is what they are saying they are going to do. it was in the papers

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

I Have experienced One of these Guys, Was a V8 Ford Falcon with 000 Racing stickers at the back he tried Geeing me up , I Laughed at him the guys dumb i had a look at his car you can see things hanging out of his Dash were not all Stupid ... I guess you just have to be very careful .....

Yeah vechiles are leased, Same as being bought , Thus Us Tax payers payings for them to be leased ....

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!

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
