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.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
