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

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
