Again good work guys.

Does anyone have a simplified version of your legal rights when pulled over in Queensland? Or know which piece of legislation would have that information? And a list of does and don’ts with the twenty questions?

If I can get some spare time I will try look into this more.

This would be great to post up, keep a copy in your car. Either way we are all going to get pulled over for some reason.

Nismo Girl: your right, you can generally get the feel for a cop car tailing even at night, like a 6th sense.

Note the obvious patern. They are all Australian built cars.

If they try to race you, don't.

If you own a turbo skyline, you will beat them anyway.

When they get jap cars, then were in real trouble.

I heard yesterday that there is a 180sx on the gold coast that is a cop car. True or False?

Hey Erin,

Do you think the number plates for the Magna are the same as this........ "Holden VY 'S' Commodore Sedan, Lime Green with the number plate 361 IAC"?

Does anybody know if cops swap the numberplates around when they renew regos on the cars?

You have to be really careful around any car you think is a cop car. Most highly ranked police officers (usually superintendent and above) are issued with police service vehicles. These are either a S pac brand new commodore or a Ford Fairmont Ghia.

All cop cars have a little sticker in the bottom right hand corner of the window. It's a white sticker with a Q and a V in green and a border of green.

Just to let you know there's no such thing as cop or "D" mags anymore they got rid of them because people were looking out for them.

Over this year and last year they have been working to make the cars a lot harder to notice, so things like CD arials etc probabbly won't be on cars for much longer.

Also I've never heard of WRX cop cars ever being in QLD, I know NSW and VIC tried them out but they took them off the road after 10 months, because their speed check thing in the car didn't work correctly and they had to give heaps of people back the money they had taken in fines.

A cop car can't pull you over in front of you because they have to make a speedo check from the cop car, this is done for court.

So if you were doing 110 in a 100 zone, they would have to follow you for so long to make the speedo check then they can pull you over the cop cars keep a record of the speeds they have been doing.

That's one way of getting out of a fine, because if it's found that they weren't travelling at a proper speed etc then the fine could be dismissed.

Also a normal cop car can only do 170Klms at the max before they have to drop of because the lights cause too much drag in undercover cop cars not sure.

that's everything I've heard from a guy whose brother works as a cop in the roma st cop shop.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
