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.

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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
