But I cheated. My dad is a surveillance cop so he has a new car for wwork every few months. hehe.

He doesnt pull anyone over or do any kind of traffic work. in fact he hates them. Taught me the term 'concrete dickheads' from when i was about 5 years old

I work near the main police officer and there is heaps of cars that are police cars but 90% of them are not TMU or anything like that

and it sounds like some people are listing speed cameras there not police vehicles there sub contractors

One of these.

One of these.

And a KE70

I think they pulled the last two from lockups or something.

Also heard of unmarked FPVs and HSVs trying to gee up drivers.

now that one is a shocker!

i had no idea it was anything other then a new como with 3 rear antennas and a territory

Mate the Territorys are everywhere lol.

There was actually one time on the M1 freeway from north heading to SE suburbs. A policeman was taking speeds of drivers right at the merging lanes but on the zebra zone. Found that quite odd.

I agree they're everywhere. But it was the only turbo territory that I've seen so far.

I have seen a totally unmarked, undercover police Hiace van.

Was filling up at a petrol station, on one of my country runs, saw a policeman walk out of the shop. Thought to myself; "i didn't notice a cop car around", he then jumped into a plain white Hiace van. It even had the small blue and red lights in the grill.

Quite often see the VW Transporter van around Williamstown (it seems to live at the local station) Its a Transporter 4Motion, whatever the kick arse engine they can get type.

It's white, with black roof rack, but looks to clean and undamaged to be a tradies van

Lights are behind one of the blacked out rear windows.

I only know it's a cop van as I saw it going down the freeway qith the lights on.

Saw a Soccer Mums SUV pulled over on the Calder Fwy just outside Kyneton at the start of summer with the bonnet up, baby on board sign on the back window and hazards on. Like the lovely person I am (although running late for work) I stopped, expecting some mum and bub had over heated on the way to Melbourne....only to find it was Mr Plod (I realised this as I got out of the car and noticed the HUGE camera plate over the bull bar)

I felt as if my good nature had abused...and they wonder why people don't stop to help others

That may have been a forensics van.

The cops used to do that around the Yarra Valley, park a beater that they had gotten from the wreckers at the side of the road on a jack with a wheel off, making it look like a breakdown, until you went past and saw the camera. They stopped doing it after the local rag exposed it and proved that it was against the rules at the time.

saw a light blue XR6T pulling burnouts and drag racing people. got about 5 minutes down the road to see him pull over a datto. it had flashing lights inside the rear door handles as well as behind the mesh on the front bar.

these people egg them on n then pull them over?

A friends mum does that for a living (being a sub contractor) she uses a beaten up late 80's land cruiser that barely goes......and she gets paid a mint for doing it

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
