Was cruising down heathcoate rd moorebank when a green SS and a yellow XR8 come flying up through the traffic the XR8 slows down next to me gives it a rev then looks inside to see my 8 year old daughter starring back at him from the passenger seat, he then dropped down a gear and floored it to catch up to the SS, Shortly afterwoods i was sitting at lights when the SS and XR8 pulled up after doing a blockie and to my surprise the were cops with lights on the dash and plain clothed.

I suspect they thought i would race them and make a easy bust.

BEWARE :banana:

Why beware? Anyone with half a brain would realise a XR8 or a SS Commodore could potentially be a cop car. I have no sympathy for someone who gets booked like this, if you have something to prove do it on the track.

there the boys with 000Racing decals on the rear windows...obviously a take on 888Racing from the V8 supercars.

them behaving contrary to traffic laws on the road is disgusting...but anyone who is a wanker enough to get sucked in by them deserves it.

Lol I had one of them F6 typhoons or whatever their called trying to g me up the other day, kept coming right next to me then dropping back a bit then boosting the hell out of it and flying past me. When we were both stopped at the lights I noticed his lights on the dash.

I had one of these try and race me the other day, i thought it might have been a police car because it had lights and signs on it, the spike strip at the front was effective in attacking pedestrians...

Got to love top gear, the original anyway ours is poo.

MR CASSBO, On the above topic, I guess you cruise around doing 60 in a 60 zone and no taking off from the lights with a little bit of enthusiasm. I thing you took what i said as i wanted to race, not so, if your near one of these cars and take of a bit quick I'm sure they will say you tried to race them.

We have a black SS ute in Canberra who baits you as well. Sat right up my butt for miles, others have said he tries to g you up at the lights.

As for video... I say youtube would make the ombudsman take a good look.

There are more than just these two cars out there doing this. I actually got done the other night by a green XR6 (I think) turbo. I was on my bike and stopped beside them at the lights. Illegal tint so I couldn't see inside. I took off as normal, which on a litre+ bike is a lot faster than a car. The car beside me accelerated hard to stay with me to about the speed limit. First thing that goes through a bike riders mind when a car does this is 'get away from me', so I accelerated away. I'm venerable on a bike and I don't like dickheads driving like tools anywhere near me. Secondly there is a side street that comes onto the street just past this intersection so I didn't want to be out of sight, slightly behind this car, which is where I would be if I slowed down instead, as this is a dangerous position to be in if a car comes out of that side street.

So of course I accelerated some more and kept a good distance between myself and the XR6. It occurred to me that it might be a cop car but the illegal tint, illegal fog lights on and strange driving made me think otherwise.

All that said; I broke the speed limit and I got done. I had all my points previously as it's a long time since I've done anything wrong so I lost 3 points and $81 for <15 over. As the cost and points are low I will not be contesting it.

Just another hazard on the road really. We already have to watch out for so many so now that we know about this one, we can avoid it too.

I dont really race on the road anymore i still give it a hit every now and then. but ive always had this thing if a holden ford or a camry comes racing up behind me or is baiting me at the lights just ignor them cause theres a good chance they are cops. especially if they stick or tailgate you

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
