I too have seen the above mentioned, ver sneeki

the black SS VE ute followed me for a bit the other day, had 2 short blond haired 40yo butch looking females in it... blergh!

in melbourne there was a VW transporter with a boosted 5 cyl engine, had roof racks and plumbers pipe on the roof...

in sydney apparently they can use impounded vehicles, as well as P plates proven when i saw a guy get pulled over in a VT 2000 model VT SS coomonhore, with green p plates!

If they REALLY wanted to do some damage... use AU Falcon taxis with 400kW typhoon F6 running gear

Just a note on the Landcruisers especially those with steps and bull bars, mostly they are operated by the AFP not ACT policing. They are primary tactical response cars and VIP escorts full of bad mo fo's with MP5's M4's and body armour... spose that makes them even more appealling to avoid.

I was 'random' (joke) breath tested the other evening by a black mitsu Colt working with a black falcon, out of the tuggeranong station, both unmarked. The bugger in the colt followed me from the jerra round-a-bout along the monaro, up long gully road (where i dropped my speed to 65-70 to make him overtake me) and out onto yamba, where he pulled me up and radio-ed the falcon for the breathaliser.

Apparently some of the commodore utes have strange looking alluminium roll bars which try to cunningly disguise the flashies.

Spotted a dark blue Falcon station wagon, with disco lights going off inside, pulled over booking someone a few days ago on Hindmarsh.

There are plenty of different unmarked cars around.

wether or not they do traffic duties is another question.

exactly

at my birthday party 3 weeks ago two of my friends (one a girl..) went for a walk with a baseball bat to hit a ball on the oval at about 11:30pm (weird i know) n when they were walkin back to the house one of these big 4wd's with bullbars n spottys n the works pulled em up asked why they were walkin round with a baseball bat...

they said they didnt believe they were cops from the car they were driving but they had lights n all...

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
