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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
