Hey guys,

just thought I'd give a heads up... last weekend I was cruising around the Hawthorn rd, North rd, Neapen hwy area... sorta beach drive... anyway at about 10-11 at night I saw some cop lights in the distance.. as I came up they were not from an undercover ss or standard Police car.. They were coming from a new dark blue Mitsubish 380! he had someone pulled over... I had a second and third look to make sure I wasent tired, but my gf was just as confused...went to a pizza shop, ate, headed back the same way... see him on the other side of the road picking up someone else! any way more crusing... come back around the area and sure enough find him writing a ticket for a parked car at like 12 am... (i know because there was no one else around and no one in the other car) so I thought crap.. this guy must want to be super cop or wants to make lots of people really unhappy....

I took a pic... but the bloody nightmode and slow capture time on my fone left nothing there... just a blur of his reflecting uniform ...

The car specs from what I could see: 07/08 model Mitsubishi 380. Ultra dark tint. factory alloys?

Regards,

Adam

yeh cops have been doing alot of sneaky shit for ages. 380's aren't very recent news. in hoppers crossing theres a undercover cop in a silver AU XR8 ute. seen a few in unmarked landcruisers, vw vans and also a jeep wranglers.

should be alert for anything with 2 or more antennas.

in regards to the old bmw.. I have seen weird cop cars over the years as well.. but I thought as they are ditectives they can have all different types of cars.. but road cops need a certain range?? thought that this might just be their new revenue raiser... never mind :(

mmm.. #3... thats an issue.. how bout painting some cardboard and sticking it on the car to look like a charade?

dont have any other thoughts...

am tired actually.. night all

i've seen a few VE omega's around with the obligatory ariels and they also had a LED light strip on the parcel shelf. however the only time i got a chance to look at the passengers, they were quite old. 50's old. wtf? arent omegae's the base model? are these cop cars?

transformer buttons should be installed on all skylines to avoid cops.

mine would transform into a cop car. =)

i seen a number of cars used over the years, comms, falcons, various utes, foresters, wrx, corollas, hiluxes, prius, avalons, camerys, magnas, wranglers, h2hummers, 330ci convetable bmw's ( drove past 4 undercovers wif big fat grins on their faces). end of the day cops can be driving anything but as long as u keep to rules 1 and 2 of jakez88 rule book you will be fine. Rule 3 should be turfed out the window!!

I've seen an undercover 380 a few times, also saw an undercover ute over the weekend so I guess these days there driving anything and everything. Also heard there in Corolla's and Camry's so need to be extra careful

my next door neighbours a sheriff and they were told by upper management in the force that they were being upgraded from unmarked commos and falcons to toyota pruis .... hahaha ... so they bought a small fleet of them 4 the sheriffs to try out. all sheriffs carry those massive tyre clamps....3 to be exact and what ever else they need 4 day to day activities.. so when they moved all the items in a falcon sedan to a prius ..they managed to fit 1 tyre clamp and 1/3 the amount of items needed on a daily basis..... point of story ... beware the unmarked prius's .. they got given to the undercovers 2 putt around town in

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
