Saw a nice calais/commodore (I'm not very good with the Holdens....can't tell which one is which :D ) with polished chromies at Anzac Highway, got pulled over by a cop. It was not the holden that had got my attention (sorry....), but it was the police car!! The police was driving a normal holden commodore, without all the POLICE 69 vinyls on his car!! He only had two red and blue siren lights in his car... on the dash!! :O .....The number plates were very normal....not even with the SA Government thingy at the bottom of the plates......... Damn..... That was the first time I saw a police in action with a 'normal' car (besides the siren lights :) ). A bit worrying.... "They are.......they are.. everywhere................." (sixth sense) :(

Surprised you've never seen an under cover car before. Once you know what to look for they tend to stand out (eg. extra long or thick antennas, no fuel flap w/ antenna, on board display screen, number plates) but, if they have number plates that don't begin with an "X" or they're in a Mitsubishi then its game over :O.

We have sold a few cars to the police through work that have had normal plates (usually wagons for the revenue guns :D )

he must be wanted for something else (stolen car ect) as they don't normally pull you over for traffic issues.

Saw a ceffy going down Aylifes road the other day, A 34 coupe outside marion yesterday, a heap of 32 GTST's around down south

Hahaha..... I think the only time I can see the on board display screen in the under cover cops car is when I've got pulled over or I am driving besides the car (might be pulled over as well - the cops always have excuses to stop the imports anyway), or more heroically, accidentally overtaking the car and got pulled over for speeding! following illegal mods... lol :)

Not normally... I got pulled over by a lone undercover cop when i was in my old accord. I had two girls stand up and hang out the sunroof while stopped at traffic lights... he was right behind me and needless to say, was not impressed. Got off with a warning though, don't think he had the time to be filing paperwork.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
