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...

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
