Well guys and gals,

after reading these two threads .....

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=26791

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=26806

I was thinking that maybe we should begin a thread where we post all the known undercover cop cars.

How it would work is, when you get pulled over by an undercover cop car, post it's make, model, colour and number plate in this thread.

I imagine we would have quite an accurate list after a little while.

I would not normally suggest something like this, as I believe if you get caught speeding then wear the fine, but if cops are now baiting or trying to entrap you into commiting an offence then this is a different story.

Known Cars

VERIFIED (Reported more than once)

Holden SS VY Ute, LimeGreen with the number plate 865 IEQ

Mitsubishi VRX Magna Sedan, Red with the number plate WXC 950 (sa number plates)

Brand New Dark Blue Falcon number plates - 935 ICX

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNVERIFIED (Reported once only)

Holden VY 'S' Commodore Sedan, Lime Green with the number plate 361 IAC

Holden VY 'S' Commodore Sedan, White with the number plate 465 HEJ

Holden VY 'S' Commodore Sedan, Silver with the number plate 177 GUH

Holden VY Commodore Sedan, Blue with the number plate 921 ICX

Ford AU II Falcon Sedan, Blue with the number plate 867 IEQ

Holden VY Commodore Sedan, Silver with the number plate 311 GTX

Holden VY Commodore Sedan, White with the number plate 143 HDE

Holden VY Commodore, Green with the number plates 579 GXT

On the coast there could still be a dark red holden.

Don't know anything else, In the city they have 2-3 souped up magnas, I think one has lights and nother is an under cover car.

That's roma St police station, they also have 2-3 camera vans, and about 9 under cover cars all up there as well.

Beenleigh has a few under cover cop cars you can see them sitting outside the station, they also have 1 camera van though it could be 2 now.

does anyone have proof that radar detectors are illegal in qld? just wondering.just reading one of my mags and it has some place in nz selling them, for $1000, but theres someplace in australia that sells them for $300.

also scanners, are we not allowed to have scanners that detect police freqs? because when they see my two way they ask all the bloody time. I use a uhf and a company band for work, so I was thinking of getting a scanner for work, as well as crusing. reason for work is that the truck companies are always coming into our yard, and I want to hear what they are talking about :P

Nexus 9: Perhaps a date last spotted and a location last spotted would be handy...

I can confirm a Red Magna with stickers at BP Yatala about 6 months ago. Unsure of rego sorry :rofl:

I have also seen a silver VY in Brisbane (Roma Street) with 15" 5 spoke mags, roof racks, a couple of stickers, and lights as shown in the pic below. About 9 months ago.

A few things to look out for are venitian blinds inside the rear window... They hide the police lights quite well. Police steelies. Siren horn down low in the front bumper. Probably common knowledge but these are a few of the things I keep my eyes open for...

all cars are mainly reg'd in the10th month. Mags are give away, but the new VY's most of the traffic cops have the standard hubcaps on. most of the cops plates start with a I or H.

they dont have towbars and they have taxi suspension. areials are also a good give away.

if in doubt pull over and dial someone on the mob. if the cop pulls upa nd asked if you stop, hang up and tell the officer that your phone rang, and that you didnt want to cause an accident :rofl:

Perving causes swerving, so just say you sneezed, its impossible to have your eyes open and sneeze :(

177 GUH Silver VY 'S' pack (slow pack :()

It was in the police enforcement bay, the the on ramp to the SE freeway this morning, near Klump rd, Mt Gravatt, booking people in abusing the transit lane. Not sure if it part of the 'HOON SQUAD'

10th month rego, aerial on back windscreen, no mudflaps and cold air intake pipe on front bar is usually a sign of a D car.

This is all good people.

What I will do is post the cars in the first post, I will have two lists one "Verified" and one "Unverified".

The "Verified" list will be when we have two or more different people reporting the same car.

"Unverified" is a one off encounter

No worries :(

Thanks to all who have contributed so far.

Chaos if you read this I would imagine that you would get a few D cars coming through Milton Maccas, so dude write down their details and post them here :)

i used to have a list of cars that were mingling in with the packs on the m1 but no doubt most of them are long gone as they became "known"

nexus9 do we want normal 'D' cars? cause usually they dont give a rats about traffic infringments, i was pulled by a Detective when i was bein naughty through my licence suspension and he was more interested in questioning me as to what my intentions and what i had been doing in pac fair.

i dont think they would be using a car with SA plates tho.

ill keep an eye out and see what i see

EDIT:-

The magna with SA plates is a definate. There is also a greyish coloured one with maybe ACT plates, will check later. They filmed a mate and confiscated his car at a later date. Both these magnas are undercover cops filming. They won't pull you over but if u slip up you'll see them in a couple of weeks. I have seen this red magna in action twice and recorded the number plate in my phone. I was sitting in a taxi coming back from the city one night when they were filming the car beside them as we sat behind them. The people beside them luckily caught on. They have also tailed us many times. I believe there are two green utes, having seen two doing their dirty work outside harry's diner a couple of friday nights ago. There was also a new model ford falcon (grey), that was giving them some assistance with some cables or something. I assumed video recording stuff. Hope that helps a few.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
